Question 4

Do I need to use Photoshop/Maya? Can I use something else?

The course is designed with Photoshop and MayaLT in mind due to their place as industry standard tools. You may use other tools if you wish (blender, gimp, etc) and apply the same techniques to those programs, but keep in mind the course was designed for Photoshop and Maya

Question 5

Why do I need to learn to import things into Unity if I'm an artist?

Accepted Answer

Projects and companies can vary wildly between who is responsible for what. Even if you end up working on a project where you as an artist simply create the art and are not required to handle the engine side of things; understanding how to prepare an asset for a game engine and the work involved will make you a better team member. You should always strive to have some understanding of how your work interfaces with others.

Question 6

Wow, this seems like too much work!

Accepted Answer

While the style taught here is simple 3d game art designed to get you up and running quickly, you will find the difficulty of the projects has a lot to do with the complexity you attempt. If it is your first time tackling these subjects I recommend keeping it simple for this course. You can always spend more time later improving and polishing your work. Perfect is the enemy of done!
