When it comes to mobile video games, nothing was more popular than PUBG – not just in India but all over the world. So, the ban on the video game in September broke many hearts. It included digital artists who hoped to build a successful career in gaming.

Well, we’ve got good news for you. PUBG is coming back! The company announced a special version for India to be launched soon. That means, if you want to make a career in gaming, now is the time to learn 3D modelling.

Why? Because all modern video games use 3D modelling to generate the virtual worlds, players explore and interact with while gaming.

The Use Of 3D modelling In Gaming

When you play a video game, you often see objects, locations and characters that are lifelike, realistic and exact copies of the original. Modelling software makes it easy for artists and designers to create these accurate copies. 

Here are two ways 3D modelling is used in gaming:

1.     To make characters

When you play a video game, you often see objects, locations and characters that are lifelike, realistic and exact copies of the original. Modelling software makes it easy for artists and designers to create these accurate copies.

2.     To build locations

No video game is complete without compelling locations. A high-quality landscape and well-developed world can breathe life into a game. For that you need, 3D modelling. 2D locations just don’t have the same feel, which creates a flat experience for the players.

In a gist, 3D modelling is the very lifeblood of gaming. Any person who wants to be a videogame designer or digital gaming artist needs to learn 3D modelling.

How to Learn 3D Modelling?

There was a time when people could learn 3D modelling on their own. These days companies ask for a certification from a good animation institute. Why? Because a certification proves that you know the fundamentals of 3D modelling.

In addition, a good 3D modelling course gives you a solid foundation along with a demo reel that can help you stand out from other applicants while applying for a job.

You can learn 3D modelling by enrolling in an Animation & VFX Course. The program teaches advanced 3D modelling along with 2D animation and techniques of VFX. At the end of the course, you’ll have mastered all the stages of 3D modelling, which are:

  • Modelling: creation of 3D objects
  • Texturing: application of textures to existing models
  • Rigging: creation of a virtual skeleton (set of “bones and “joints”)
  • Animation: animating a 3D character
  • Rendering: visualization of the created graphic and recording of the object
  • Compositing: combining individual elements into a final image

If you’ve dreamed of being known as the person who created the world of PUBG or any other video game, now is the time to learn 3D modelling. Given the huge popularity of gaming, you can build a high-paying career by checking out Arena’s Game Art Program!
