Tools of the Trade

The tools a 3D artist needs are mostly found on a single piece of important hardware, the computer; Mac and/or PC. Some other hardware that maybe used are; a wacom tablet, and a laptop (for working at home or in another location without a computer). There are lots of software programs 3d artist use, I'll go through the ones I've used myself; Maya (3d program), Photoshop (textures), Shake (compositor), After Effects( another compositor), Final Cut Pro (Mac compositor), Zbrush (3D program).

Other then all those which are computer base programs I would also use many 2D tools, Sketchbooks, drawing and coloring pencils, drawing and coloring pens, and paints. These are most of the tools a 3D artist uses there are more but these are the ones I mostly use.

Cheers
