Newbie question about props/static meshes and more

Thanks for all the responses everyone, I appreciate them all :)! I am sorry for the late response I got a bit confused when I first submitted the thread as I didn’t realize it needs to be mod approved and figured it just never posted.

The general consensus seems to be to try to get my hands on some packs/collections whether free or through marketplace, as well as learn to use a 3D modeling program which will be fun for me.

I have done some really beginner/basic stuff in Blender, like making an alarm clock, a tea cup etc. Just very small easy things.

However I also recently downloaded Maya as I found out I get the student version free since I am in college currently. In Maya so far I’ve made basic things as well, like a sofa, a wine bottle, and a small table with a table cloth. Between the two so far I don’t have much of a preference, although more recently I’ve used Maya since when I was reading through one of the UE4 tutorials it described how easy it was to export things from Maya to UE4. I tried it myself and ran into some issues with the things I made in Maya being WAY WAY too small when I imported them into UE4.
