A tool for quickly creating 3D humans.
A general purpose 3D modelling and animating tool. It also has a movie-quality renderer and various other tools.
Free 3D models! Using those saves you a ton of time, as long as you watch out for the licensing stuff.
e.g. CC Attribution means that you have to give credits to the original author.
e.g. Personal Use License is a rather annoying license
-
Use Google to find a ton of them: Recommended option
-
SketchFab: Has paid models and free models. Also, do note that not all of them are downloadable
-
Free3D: Random 3D model website
-
NASA 3D Models: For all of your space needs
-
BlendSwap: Lots of free Blender Models
-
Chocofur: Has paid and free models. All of them are really high quality
Textures, when talking about 3D stuff, is just a fancy term for "pictures".
All of the following websites use the CC0 license, which gives you the right to do whatever you want. You can, for example, legally download all of their textures and sell them for $50 a piece.
- CC0 Textures: Materials such as "ground", "soil", "rocks"
- cgbookcase: Materials such as "ground", "soil", "rocks"
- HDRI Haven: "HDRI"s aka background images such as "sky", "town", "seaside"
Photoshop is a really high quality product for editing pictures. A rather decent, free alternative is Krita.
Now, once you have all your 3D models, it's time to do something cool with them!
Check out the FirstPersonShooterTemplate. It's a tweaked, Leonie-approved version of a rather simplistic FlaxEngine Template Project.
You can also grab a built version of it here...TODO!
To get access to Flax while it's still in the closed alpha, just contact the developers (feel free to include your GitHub username) and write something along the lines of:
Subject: FlaxEngine Closed Alpha
Your Message:
I'm a student and would love to get access to the super cool FlaxEngine closed alpha.

Just post them here and I'll answer them.
