Hi, I'm a bit new to utilizing 3D software such as Maya 3D, Houdini, Lightwave 3D, so I'm a bit confused as to how these programs can be used to actually create models whether human or not. It just seems terribly strange to me to use one of those programs to create a model, instead of using a program such as Photoshop or GIMP, and then applying that image to a 3D software and rendering it in 3D. How is creating models of any kind done using these 3D programs.
Thanks.
Thanks.
