Well,... That is a matter of opinion. Since I don't know your skillset or knowledge base, I can only say that there is a learning curve for most people. Blender is Free though and there is a multitude of YouTube "How to's" tutorials (that is on Blender alone). Of course, you will need to obtain the Toolset installed into Blender - Located here: https://www.fsdeveloper.com/forum/resources/blender2p3d-fsx-toolset.251/
For which Sim will you be creating for?
Hi PaulHi Stan,
I'm new to scenery design too, but I have been using Blender for some time. To get started, I would recommend watching Bill Womack's excellent video series. (Link is pinned to the top of this forum section) Work through the Hangar design episode bit by bit, copying what he does on screen in blender yourself. Pause the video every 30 seconds if you have to. When completed, Start a new empty project, then try and recreate it yourself without the vids. You'll soon pick up the modelling skills.
Then only other advice I can give is - start small. Many newbies have this elaborate scenery planned in their heads which is often unobtainable without a lot of practice. When it doesn't happen overnight they're often put off and give up. (I've been there myself )
Good luck.
Paul
Hi Paul
That good you have the same name as me. Thanks for your advice . Yes I have watched that video and had ago. Which Blender are you using ?
Maybe to add to all of this:
make sure to also follow what's going on with 3d modelling outside of the sim community. With all due respect to the fine people here, but sometimes we are lacking about 10 years behind mainstream technology....
I would just like to say thanks to every one for their advice. I seem to be getting on ok with Blender if I go wrong delete it and start again .
Many Thanks Stan .
Look at this You tube tutorial. Its for a captains chest. However, it actually explains simply how to get the bevelled roof effect (the lid of the chest) its for basic level so might be of help getting the first effect down and then allow you to play with the process to get exactly what you wantHello every one just a little question . How do make my roof like the one in the picture Plz ?
