The 3D Student is a Month Old! Time for a Roundup…
That’s right, as of yesterday I’ve been posting on this blog for a month. I know there’s a lot of sites around that post their stats at this point and talk about what they’ve learned and so on (maybe I’ll come back to that later) but I’m going to have a roundup of a different sort.
Since I started studying 3D and learning about Freelancing etc I’ve collected a whole load of links and resources. Here are some of my favourite ones that I still use; some of which are fairly new to me, others I’ve been using for well over a year. Check them out, join a couple of the forums, talk to some people – I hope you find it as useful as I have.
3D and Art Forums
Whether it’s for the challenges associated, a sense of community, or simply facilitating your voyeurism with regards to other artists’ work forums are amazing tools. Join one, you won’t regret it.

Wow, Heather! I’m really honored for the mention!
Thank you so much for that.
I’m thinking of a post to mention my fav’s in for sure.
Keep on keepin’ on!
.-= Travis´s last blog ..A New Direction… Or A Few? =-.
You deserve it! I come by there every time there’s a new post and it always gets me thinking.
Favourites posts are fun; they’ve really caught on after James started doing it.
Luck to you!
Thanks for adding my forum on there Heather, it should add to the variety of the links you have under entertainment lol. Keep your blog going strong, like it is already. Hope we all get more traffic from this, hehe …
Thanks for stopping by Gos-Watari ^_^
Nice to see you around, and best of luck with your forum too. Fun place to be
