So i have this game idea that im really passionate about, i know a few stuff about blueprints and such but its just. What do i need to make animations? character models ? textures and such? do i need a different program for making animations and could i get some suggestions about which program to use?
For the game environment use: Unreal Engine 4.12
For making the 3d characters use: Adobe Fuse (Preview) OR Blender (More advanced users)
For textures: search google for premade (royalty free and public domain) OR make your own using Adobe Photoshop
For animations: Use Adobe Fuse (Preview) with Minamo. It’s great.
You can get a $19.99 per month plan from Adobe to be able to use ALL their products IF you are a student.
Using 3Ds Max or Maya for character modelling is not a bad idea.
Textures can be easily available in google images or other websites until and unless you are very choosy about how a surface looks.
If you will use blender as recommended by tetsumi96 it is not a bad idea.
Here is alink of how character modelling is done.
