I am not the best artist, because I am more a programmer
but I want to create a game and I need some models. Now I have a 2d picture of what I want. I want to make a cow model. But not like a cow in the field, but one which is more human. Like a cow which is walking with two legs. As an example of the 'cow':
What is the best way to create this character in 3d? Are there specials ways to do this? Must I draw the 2d sketch from different sides or one site and the try to make it 3d?
this tutorial helped me out alot in making a model. Maybe it will help you. you'll need to download it though because i wasn't able to find the online version. Here you go.
You have to make two drawings of your cow in the basic pose (arms out):
one front and one side.
If you are working in max, you set those pictures as background in your viewports and begin making vertices.
