While I certainly believe any aspiring game programmer should atleast know the basics of assert creation it's not always needed;

(also some texture resources there)

 

So unless you have a very specific art direction you may be able to cut a few corners.

For primitive objects it is maybe easy to create the model but its harder when you have models like characters and have to take care of the polycount. Texturiing is also a part but you can prototype also with no textures or dummy textures. For textures I use substance designer.

 

Its not all that hard when you use good software that make you life easier

I agree characters are hard. I have a hard time modeling organic things. Anything else I can model in my sleep.

I know about 3d coat, it was in the part of my blog post that got deleted, and cg textures. All the models in the picture were painted in 3d coat. 3d model wise i have HUNDREDS of them, I own fpscreator and tons of model packs. The only problem is that the model quality does not always stand up to scrutiny when placed in a high quality game engine like Leadwerks. I've already spent over $200 USD on model packs and I decided to slow down with my money expenditure on game creation tools before i have a firm idea of what i want to do. The only thing that I would be losing is time. I would gain assets, skills and tools in the process, so there is very little downside to making stuff myself

 

So I've been just creating 3d models since I have no idea what kind of game I want to make. I might as well be modeling than sitting here doing nothing.
