I'm quite fond of this one, personally.

Any on fundamentals of 3d modeling?

>>495298

Why would you need a book for that? They get outdated almost immediately and there is never any reason to re-read them.

Can people upload these ebooks somewhere so that others can have them too (if possible)?

>>495298

The fundamentals of 3d modeling is also the fundamentals of sculpting, which very closely relates to the fundamentals of drawing.

Work on drawing shapes, then sculpting shapes, then you will be able to model shapes in 3d with ease.

What program you happen to be using is inconsequential in the long run, it`s all about the fundamental artistic skills in the end.

The programs will always quickly change throughout the years, but the fundamentals will remain.

That's not how I reference book, my friend.

All my core books are inscribed on delicate slices of dead trees.

At least 2 of those are on libgen, probably torrents too.

At least look before begging.

the art of moving points is nice, but only available on apple products. there's a pdf version around but not as nice as the app.
Currently rigging on meshes modeled after this method, makes me love my job tbh

Sounds expensive and heavy.

>>495351
The book / pdf is kind of lame tbh.

>>495279
Maybe you should've asked for video format instead.... Videos stick forever, books dont...

>>495356
Could you be more specific?

Is the information wrong and misleading, or just poorly presented?

>>495281
I barfed into my mouth when I saw your post.

>>495394
Is this /v/?

What's wrong with the book? Is there an alternative?

>>495399
Yeah the alternative is not wasting your time learning anatomy before you know what to do with it.

Anatomy is an advanced subject for artists who've already mastered figure.

>>495420
Don't assume everyone here is your level.

>>495356
Have you tried the app? The few i've seen seems very nice. I have to agree on the pdf though, but it is not distributed officially and merely a way to compensate for people who don't have an ipad
>>495386
Again, rigging on meshes using this method, it's a great approach to facial topology imho
