Hi, I had picked up a hobby of doing some humanoid modelling with Blender for 2 years and recently trying to improve my skill in material painting.

Can any sifu recommend me an entry level tablet that will work for Blender, PS and Illustrator in Window 10 environment? I am thinking that I might need a better pressure simulation during doing these related artworks.

Please let me know if there is any concern for the recommendation given. Much appreciated.

Appreciate your recommendation. It helps greatly for someone like me who never been in these fields before.

Once again, thank you very much!

My humble creation during 2023

Tbh, I mostly rely on random Youtube tutorials and started with playing around other creators' models. There isn't really a single tutorial/channel that perfectly teach all knowledges that you need to create 3D model. Most of the time I just look up something that I don't understand / I don't know here and there from any videos. Sometimes, the info that you need is just 30 sec out of a 10 mins video that teaching other random stuff bout 3D model.

I truly don't think I can give the right advice to you as I learnt from reverse engineering bit by bit from many topics. If you are truly want to jump into this, you can pick a format that you want to focus on and start learning every aspects about it. Like if you are interested in MMD, then you focus on PMD/PMX model. For VRchat, may be FBX/OBJ. The list can go on depending on your destination that you want to reach, whether you want to make animation or an avatar for personal use.

The only thing that I can highlight here for you is that, exploring this will need lotsa patience, probably you need to spend 300-500 hours (may be I am not talented) before seeing a significant improvement in model quality. Till today, I think had spent more than 1000 hours over the span of 4 years in exploring different fields of info, like Unity, Blender, Photoshop, Illustrator, MMD, Material, mToon, VRoid, ARkit etc which all of these knowledge can help in creating a model.

Yet, after such time spent. I still feel myself pretty noob in doing this and there is still many to learn.
