Huge Thanks for the detailed reply’s! Just Awesome of all of you taking the time to help me out. Appreciated. I’m taking notes from what you’ve all said.
Yes. The perennial Blender vs Maya debate. I’ve used Blender for basic stuff so far. But I didn’t know you could do animations etc with Blender.
For me - right at zero - it’s going to be about getting a course centered around UE4 that I can follow to get started. In Udemy - there’s a great course I’ve been directed to…buuuuut it’s using full Maya. Not sure if I could use LT to do that course. More digging needed on that score.
If I could find a tutorial series centered around Blender for character creation for UE4 - then… perfect.
Otherwise I’m just flying blind with this no matter what software I choose. So it’s about matching a good course / learning material with the software the course uses right now. At least though - you guys have told me the drawbacks & plusses of those options. Massive. So again… thanks.
Full Maya does - I believe - have a 1 month free trial. But… getting this downpat in a month? Nope…
