3D Model

I’m a veteran Maya user. But for my next project I need to know Blender. So this is the first model I made in Blender. I don’t know Blender as good as I know Maya of course. So if you ask me what is better, I would say Maya. UV unwrapping is a pain in Blender. Everything about normals is very hard to track. Pivots and snapping is just not as great as in Maya. Any day of the week I would prefer Maya over Blender. That said, I will do a lot more work in Blender for a while. Maybe I’ll think different when I understand Blender better. Or maybe not. What I do think, is that Blender is a great tool to start your 3D in.

I made a high(er) polygon version and a super low poly version. I exported them both and did my bakes in Substance (I know I could also have done that in Blender). I textured everything (only 2 UDIMS), what was lots of fun as usual.

Be course Blender is free, and this little project was just for me to learn the software. Will this model also be free for you all! I hope you enjoy it.
