So basically I am a solo dev and I am currently in the process of making a game, but then I realized I didn’t know how to make GFX for the game thumbnail. Do any of you know the best way to learn GFX, whether its a YouTube series or another dev post. Please leave any suggestion on how I can learn this.

Note: This is my first post on the dev forums so if I am doing something wrong please say so.

There are plenty of tutorials in #resources:community-tutorials. You can also just use Blender tutorials coupled with image editing tutorials.

I Would Highly Recommend PicklePie On YouTube, I Learnt Most Of My Stuff From Her And She Explains It Very Well. You Can Also YouTube Things You Don’t Know Eg. How To Get An HDRI etc.

I suggest using blender tutorials on lighting and rendering, blender guru is a good place to start! Also make sure to do some exploring in the program your self, can’t learn everything from tutorials!

You basically just have to learn and choose a software your willing to dive into on how to create graphic designs ect. I’ll try finding ones your more comfortable with or willing to learn the workflow and curve around that program there’s a handful of free ones.

As for answering your question learning how to create game thumbnails can be made in variety of softwares or programs normally there is a open source software such as blender cinema4d isn’t free it’s a paid option find ones that suits your liking. But there are a few post that have been made about ways to learn graphic designing or looking for applications.

Here is a few related questions that have already been answered and asked before, in the future I’ll try doing a quick search around the forum:

I think you should start with Paint rig v3 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLgfOlQSwDM) Then when you get the hang of that use AlexGFX Nexus Rig V2.0 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDyfzt4IClc&list=PLiqfMJJMhCusD2RwkKWb8ES5VJeGfSlym&index=4) After that I suggest using Matt rbx’s Ultimate rig (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Torc8qEOXxE) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KLgfOlQSwDM That is how to start and use a rig btw. Hope this helped! Good luck On future works.
