1 Modeling Software

Modeling software is the foundation of any 3D project, as it allows you to create the basic shapes and forms of your 3D objects. Modeling software can range from simple and intuitive to complex and powerful, depending on your needs and preferences. Some of the most widely used modeling software include Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, ZBrush, and SketchUp. Modeling software can help you develop your artistic and technical skills, as well as your understanding of geometry, topology, and anatomy. Modeling software can also help you prepare your models for further processing, such as texturing, rigging, and animation.

It depends on the industry, you’re most interested it. If you’re interested in animation it’s Maya, game development 3ds max or blender, motion graphics design or advertisement Cinema 4d (however it’s horrendous for 3d modeling so I suggest using Blender). If you want to become digital sculptor it’s Z-Brush. For concept art 3D coat or Blender. If you are interested in Cad it’s entirely different story and I suggest starting with Plasticity

2 Texturing Software

Texturing software is the next step in enhancing the appearance and realism of your 3D models, as it allows you to apply colors, patterns, and materials to their surfaces. Texturing software can also help you create various effects, such as bumps, scratches, reflections, and transparency. Some of the most popular texturing software include Substance Painter, Photoshop, GIMP, and Quixel Mixer. Texturing software can help you improve your artistic and creative skills, as well as your knowledge of lighting, shading, and UV mapping. Texturing software can also help you optimize your models for different platforms and engines, such as games, movies, and VR.

Substance Painter, Mari, 3d coat, Substance Designer, Quixel. I don’t suggest wasting any time on archaic methods like photoshop. In general I highly suggest staying away from legacy Adobe products.

3 Rigging and Animation Software

Rigging and animation software is the key to bringing your 3D models to life, as it allows you to add bones, joints, and controllers to them, and then move them in realistic and expressive ways. Rigging and animation software can also help you create dynamic simulations, such as cloth, hair, and fluids. Some of the most widely used rigging and animation software include Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Houdini. Rigging and animation software can help you develop your technical and logical skills, as well as your understanding of physics, motion, and timing. Rigging and animation software can also help you produce engaging and immersive content for various media and audiences.

The industry standard hands down is Maya, however I’m seeing Houdini quickly catching up, and Blender has incredible very versatile set of tools for both rigging and animation. There’s also Cascadeur, but it’s more like support tool. However I highly suggest giving it a try.

4 Rendering Software

Rendering software is the final stage in completing your 3D project, as it allows you to generate realistic and high-quality images and videos from your 3D models and animations. Rendering software can also help you add various effects, such as shadows, reflections, and depth of field. Some of the most popular rendering software include Blender, Maya, 3ds Max, Cinema 4D, and Unreal Engine. Rendering software can help you enhance your artistic and technical skills, as well as your knowledge of lighting, shading, and composition. Rendering software can also help you showcase your work in the best possible way and impress your clients and employers.

I’d say the market for rendering is a bit over saturated, and only few are actually Complete software. Since Autodesk bought Arnold they became very viable option given that Maya now comes bundled with it. Blender has absolute gem which is Cycles (also Cycles now comes bundled with Gaffer). It’s suitable for any project and unlike any other render engine works with every gpu brand including intel. Octane stand-alone is pretty good, but it shines in combination with other DCCs, same with Redshift. Render Man and 3Delight are also great but both feel slightly dated. Let’s not forget about Houdini which now comes with Karma (first engine to fully adopt MaterialX pipeline).

5 Editing and Compositing Software

Editing and compositing software is the final touch in polishing your 3D work, as it allows you to edit, combine, and manipulate your rendered images and videos. Editing and compositing software can also help you add various effects, such as transitions, filters, and titles. Some of the most widely used editing and compositing software include Premiere Pro, After Effects, DaVinci Resolve, and Nuke. Editing and compositing software can help you improve your artistic and creative skills, as well as your knowledge of storytelling, pacing, and color grading. Editing and compositing software can also help you create coherent and compelling content for different purposes and platforms.

For Editing there are only 4 options. Final Cut (incredible software, but you’ll be bound to Apple ecosystem), Premier pro (most editors use it because they buy it with creative cloud though it’s full of bugs and it’s very slow and limited compared to competition), Avid, and DaVinci Resolve (my favourite because I love their pricing, it works on everything, incredibly fast, incredibly powerful, has baked in one of the most powerful node compositors, but the ui and shot management are terrible). As for compositing: Nuke my number 1, fusion (in some cases beats nuke), Natron (open source carbon copy of nuke), and After Effects but I’d rather change the job than open it ever again, or do any serious comp work in it.
