Well, dunno about other creators, but I'm happy with blender so far (addons make it even better). The right question should be: what kind of sofware and hardware do i need to achieve 'this' kind of results?īut if you don't know that chances are that you really need to start from the simpliest thing possible anyway ^^ Or maybe you can even do it if you can deal with the slowdowns and you have a lot of patience and time ^^ it's all relative. If you're not making a super complex skin you don't need a 3000 dollars pc and so on. If you're making a normal skin you don't even need a 3d software like 3ds, maya ecc. Though it depends on what you want to do for Tennogen. now you can spend like what? 20dollars? i don't even remember ^^ and you have the full adobe suite for a month with the ability to unsubscribe and resume when you need it and it's always the latest version. Oh yeah yeah for sure you can spend less than that, you can go as much as free if you want to (you still need a pc and a tablet though)!Īlso subscriptions are probably the best thing, i remember when a photoshop licesene was from 700 to 1300 dollars depending on the version. All in all, I'm excited for this and I'm still fine-tuning things to make the best possible skin I can :) I'm able to use sketchbook to save in various forms (which I would have LOVED photoshop, but you can no longer buy a single license by yourself :(, I hate subscriptions). NOW I do agree with you that it takes longer to do things and that it needs to be a 'better' computer that I consider to be built for gaming, but it doesn't have to be the highest end model possible. I am using a HP ENVY Dv7 and it was about $1500 from SEVERAL years ago, drawing tablet that I got on sale (black friday) for $100 that's usually $250 and am using a single license of Autodesk Sketchbook Pro 7 (which they've now gone to subscription) for $75. Professional I guess, but you can get by with about half that :).

This is just a very quick esteem of what i remember of the prices of various programs and hardware, maybe a little less or more ^^ If you want full professional equipment to make a skin it's going to cost you something between 3000 to 5000 dollars (pc included). a good pc) because you need to sculpt and/or paint. The only thing you can't work without is a drawing tablet (and well.

It is possible to make an entire skin with free programs but it's going to take you a little (a lot actually) more time than what it takes using the most advanced software cause of efficiency.
