Learn how to make 3D art for games! Tutorials for Milkshape and Constructor 3D art creation software programs will be posted here as they become available.
What makes my tutorials different from most other 3D Art Video Tutorials is that I talk about what I’m doing while I am doing it. I don’t have a pre-written script. And I leave in the mistakes! No one makes a model start to finish perfectly. The hard part is fixing the mistakes and I show you how to do that too. Sometimes I try new things I have never done before, and show you how to figure the tools out on your own. More than just teaching you how to do something, I kind of encourage you in techniques you can use to improve your method of teaching yourself.
If you have special requests for particular 3D art lessons, please post them in our Questions section. Thank you!
