How do INDI developers make models?

Question

3D

Good day to all!
Everywhere... really everywhere on the Internet I see articles like "how models are made for AAA games" or they just write the creation of a model, but inside the article there is a scheme for creating a model in AAA companies! Everything is long, beautiful and of high quality. And then how do I do singles, or as it is fashionable to say INDI developers. After all, 1-3 people are sitting behind everything. It is very stupid to create a model the way they do in AAA, since such a project will last until old age!
What is the principle of creating a basement production model?

Answer 1

Indies buy ready-made assets in the store.

To make it easier, you need to have a reference in your head on which to do it faster or more conveniently.

In general, for this you need to do 100 times according to the worked out scheme, and then you yourself will know in what situation where you can cheat.
Now we need to hire an experienced person who will stand behind his back and speak on the fly how easier and faster in each specific model and situation. Unfortunately there is no general answer.
