0_o ????? Where should I go...? Well, approximately like that, but I didn't reflect anything there... and, try it yourself, it takes about 10 minutes... maybe it takes me 10 minutes, but for someone who doesn't know how, it will take at least an hour...

Of course, I'm talking about those who know what they're doing. If you had used reflection (Mirror), you would definitely have finished in 10-15 minutes. Although, I think you finished anyway. In general, for creating 3D models, it would be very useful to be able to draw. I'm not good at drawing.

Damn... All the good plugins are paid. And they cost a pretty penny.

Photoshop is definitely easier... I can post a couple of works that are truly professional... I was so discouraged after that that I even wanted to quit everything... I just can't reach that level.

Yeah, I've seen those kinds of works too. But I think they probably had the same opinion about their abilities when they were beginners. I think it takes about two to three years of almost daily work to become a professional. I won't give up.

I'm also into 3D design. Right now, I'm trying to learn Cinema 4D. It's a really great program. I recommend it to everyone! Unlike 3ds Max, it's easier to learn. I've only been using it for six months, and I've already managed to create a pretty good interior design. However, I was a bit disappointed with the model conversion to Direct 3D. In general, I'd like to continue learning 3ds Max. If you don't mind, could you give me a link to a self-study guide?

here you go... a Photoshop work... created from scratch... some Photoshop god did it... (in my opinion, it's the most beautiful work) (it's called "Pandora") (you can hardly draw something like that by hand, and they did it with a mouse).

3ds Max, blueprints, and other 3D products are just shells; the most important thing in these editors is the plugins. Even a complete novice can become a mega-super-duper 3D artist if they have a set of top-notch plugins. As far as I remember, there are about 5-10 thousand plugins for Photoshop.
P.S. I personally enjoy Cinema 4D; it feels more natural to me (even though it's a German product :D).

3ds Max, blue versions, and other 3D products are just shells; the most important thing in such editors is the plugins. Even a complete novice can become a mega-super-duper 3D artist if they have a set of top-notch plugins. The same goes for Photoshop; if I remember correctly, there are about 5-10 thousand plugins for it.
P.S. I personally enjoy Cinema 4D; it feels more natural to me (even though it's made in Germany :D).

But plugins are expensive. You can create good works using only the tools of 3ds Max (it will just be a little more difficult).

Of course, good things always cost a lot, but there are 2 options here:
1. The simplest and most economical is to find a shareware link online and download it, or ask a good friend (but it will be difficult to find something worthwhile).
2. Create the plugin yourself. (then there are more possibilities and more hassle, because making such a plugin is difficult)

I'm trying to master the 2nd option :rolleyes:

It's the same photo editor, if I remember correctly, there are about 5-10 thousand plugins for it.
P.S.: I myself am into Cinema4D, I feel more connected to it (although it's also of German origin :D)

..... here, I posted a work a little earlier........... no filters or anything else were used there... everything was drawn with a mouse, pencil, brush, and airbrush..... and it's just all about color selection... and a successful play of color and shadow...

As I read in one complex book on Photoshop, professionals use plugins the least and increasingly work with standard tools.
