Topic: Effects
Ok, so I need some advice on effects. I want to do some cool gun flare effects in my upcoming feature film, along with some space scenes using CGI. I really enjoyed Smeagol's CGI in Star Trek meets Star Wars: Attack of the Drones.
I currently have blender downloaded on my computer, but I don't know much about sculpting. I can probably learn from blender cookie tutorials, but I want to know if I will be able to learn in the next 4-5 months. (My film comes out later this year) So yeah!
Main Question: How long will it take to learn sculpting and modeling on blender?
