Any guide to someone who never touched a 3d sculpting software?

I really want to get into this. But the only talent i have is making good buildings in minecraft. (which i am very good at, if i say so myself.) But that's probrably nothing compared to 3d modelling.

I have no idea where to start, or what software to use.

Well, as far as i can see ZBrush seems to be a must-have for any serious 3d modelling, but maybe it depends on what do you want to make. Urban and architecture models, characters, etc.

ZBrush is pretty standard for modeling, and there's a fairly good tutorial on the Youtubes somewhere.

Though if you want something a little cheaper I think there's something by Altivision you can get.  Don't remember.

zbrush for sculpting > has many different processes to learn in sculpting but you eventually learn your own process/method to creating a piece of work.

autodesk maya/3D max > for normal 3D modelling which are both fairly difficult to learn 

Blender which is sculpting and 3D modelling is a good place to start as its completely free and has add on to convert files into some of the most well known game engines/animation softwares

Sculptris alpha is a free version of Zbrush if you would like to try it, it is very simple to use.

I decided to use sculptis, but now i dont know how to open warframe meshes in it.

Can you use that for creating things intended for a game though? From what I understand (I'm a novice when it comes to 3d modeling) from playing around with sculptris, it doesn't export well. The way it works will leave you with a high polycount and makes hard to animate.

I think it's more for 3D art.

I kinda assumed he was going for art more then animation or for a game. In my experience as well it creates way to many polys to be reasonable to use in a game. Some of my models have gone up to a half a million. You can reduce them with some loss of course.

 

I think the main thing is that he wanted something to try out and a bit of easy practice with.

Step 1: Get the hang of 3D sculpting with Sculptris. 

Step 2: (If creating a helmet, weapon, or syandana) Use Blender to reduce your polygons. 

Step 3: Sculpt a high-poly detailed version in Sculptris. (Change only minor details, since the basic silhouette won't be affected.) 

Step 4: Bake the high-poly onto the low-poly in Blender. (It's a step-by-step process, just find a tutorial.)

Step 5: Use GIMP or Krita (or Photoshop if you have it) to create the maps. 

Step 6: If it's a syandana you may want to rig it. I don't know how, sorry.
