Question to Senior Modelers: Armor Modeling (looking for tutorials & tips)

[FritzliUeli1]

Hi guyse

I'm new to modeling, found my way around all the tools involved, still pretty green and basic as hell.
I'm working with c4d, maya (for uv), mudbox, photoshop and nifskope, i use the normal map plugin for PS,which obviously isn't the best.


are there any senior modelers who can give me tips, or send tutorial links on how to properly model? especially armors where i can't wrap my head around all the needed steps in the nifs. i also wanna learn to create animated nifs, trees and such.
i was thinking of creating some high res armors from scratch. how can i reach that goal?

what did you guys use to learn all this? some of the mods on here are really high quality.

 

thanks for all your answers
