So what got you into 3D modeling? For me it was watching Beast Wars as a child and finally deciding to learn how model after watching a video of the first Silent Hill team using Softimage

found unreal Ed 2.0 by accident (editor for UT 99). back then, you would create most assets such as pillars, doors etc in a separate, non-enterable section of the level where you would choose textures, manually move vertices and bake the lightmaps instead of importing them from an external program. good times.

building my own maps and cities in minecraft / gmod (out of props) around 2010. then i decided to port a few game models to pac3 when that came out roughly 2012. i fumbled my way through it at the time but the UI was dogshit so it put me off for a few years. then a few years later i decided to pick it up again

This is a comfy thread, thanks anon.

To me was watching Jurassic park as a kid and then watching reboot as a teenager and making duke nukem 3D maps, things were so magical and i really wanted to make it my profession.

Beast Wars, Tekken, Reboot. Those got me started. But it's probably Warcraft 3 modding that really got me serious about 3d and made me improve.

>Beast Wars was made in Softimage and a custom built plug-in

It still makes me sad that Softimage had to die. Almost everything that had soul was made in that software and yet no one picked it up except for the Autodesk Jews who just poached it

Literally by getting groomed by a pedo back in 2005. Showed me how easy it was to model basic stuff which I naturally took interest a lot since I was a big fan of RE:4 and the MGS games at the time. Gave me a torrent link to Softimage XSI 5.0 and I never looked back. Honestly looking back I thank that degenerate old creep that I never met. I'm also sure he's on here so thank you :)
