We&#8217;ll also review a few software options, and show you where you can go to get help learning the art of 3D modeling.<\/p>\n<h3>The benefits of going 3D<\/h3>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t always eager to work in 3D. In fact, I did everything I could to stay away from it. I mean, really. What&#8217;s the point in spending time creating a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.creativebloq.com\/3d\/free-3d-models-10121127\"><ins>3D model<\/ins><\/a> when the spec calls for 2D art? As it turns out, there are a lot of good points.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a look at some of the reasons why you might consider learning and using 3D:<\/p>\n<h3>01. Fine-tune your designs<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/qiQJET98eTEst98WvsWu9D.png?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>3D modeling can help you ensure accuracy in perspective, lighting and anatomy<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When you&#8217;re working in 2D space, it&#8217;s important to design things with the basic principals in mind. This includes composition, perspective, lighting, values and tones, color theory, and form. With the aid of 3D modeling software, achieving these things has never been easier.<\/p>\n<h3>02. Work faster<\/h3>\n<p>Granted, if you&#8217;re just learning 3D there&#8217;s going to be a bit of a learning curve. But once you&#8217;re past that, you&#8217;ll discover how quickly you can model things. More importantly, you&#8217;ll be able to change those things when needed, without spending a lot of time doing it.<\/p>\n<h3>03. Increase your marketability<\/h3>\n<p>Quite possibly the best reason to learn 3D is to improve your position within the marketplace. The trend is definitely moving towards the 3D world. As more and more designs take on a photorealistic look, understanding 3D will give you a competitive edge.<\/p>\n<h3>04. Stimulate your mind<\/h3>\n<p>There&#8217;s something to be said about learning a new skill. When you take the time to learn something new, a few surprising things begin to happen.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>For one, it helps to stimulate your mind. It also gives you something to talk about. This may not seem like a big deal, but it actually helps you build connections within the community.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>05. Boost your creativity<\/h3>\n<p>I know this seems like a silly reason, but having fun is important. Even if you never plan to use your 3D designs, it&#8217;s a lot of fun to play around in the 3D space. If nothing else, it helps you to tap into your creativity.<\/p>\n<h3>3D software options<\/h3>\n<p>Now that you know why you should learn and use 3D, let&#8217;s find out what software options are available:<\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/G25ZYn6LDfGT9PDtNoRV8S.png?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>Creative freedom starts with open source software Blender<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.blender.org\/\">Blender<\/a> is the de facto standard when it comes to free and open source software. While I wouldn&#8217;t say the interface is particularly user friendly or intuitive, it&#8217;s not too bad once you learn how to get around.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/8SkXNVtJd7b4RUNVzA7567.png?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>The flagship of 3D software is Maya \u2013but it doesn&#8217;t come cheap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The flagship of 3D software is Autodesk&#8217;s <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/maya\/overview?AID=12826451&#038;PID=6361382&#038;SID=hawk-515362971\">Maya<\/a> \u2013 but it&#8217;s not cheap. If you&#8217;re not a student, Maya will cost you (at a minimum) $185 per month. If you&#8217;re looking for a cheaper alternative, Autodesk offers <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.autodesk.com\/products\/maya-lt\/overview?AID=12826451&#038;PID=6361382&#038;SID=hawk-931037893\">Maya LT<\/a>, which is only $30 per month. The good news is that you can download free trials for both of these products.<\/p>\n<p>Out of the three of these options, Maya LT is my preferred choice for creating characters and environments \u2013 especially for games.<\/p>\n<p>Note: The list above is not meant to be comprehensive. It&#8217;s simply a starting point. I encourage you to look around and find the right tool for you. Keep in mind, rarely will you have a single tool for every job.<\/p>\n<h3>Learning 3D<\/h3>\n<figure>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" name=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.taterboy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/gFPH4NjDGEG2NuaP2MyVYT.png?w=900\" align=\"middle\" fullscreen=\"\"><\/p><figcaption>Master the art of 3D with the Lego Digital Designer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>OK, so you&#8217;ve decided to learn 3D, and you selected a few tools.
