Scaring project for a beginner!!!

I’m quite scared with Fundamentals of 3D Mesh Modeling’s final exercise. It’s so huge! I’m not sure that’s I want to do with Blender (I’m more interested in sculpting and animation). I know: my decision…

Anyway, I have few questions: 

- Is there an advantage to use orthogonal view instead of perspective?

- If the room to model is at human scale, would the file be too big with 30 to 50 objects in it?

Thanks.

    Hi Marie,

    - using Orthographic is just a certain look, it is not better or worse than Perspective View.

    - the Size of the room doesn't have effect on the size of your .blend file.

    There's no real advantage, it's more a decision of aesthetics and the art direction you want to go with. If you want your render to have perspective, you go with perspective view and if you want to have no perspective and all parallel lines, you go with orthographic. So just an artistic choice, nothing to do one being superior to the other. 

    And 30 to 50 objects is not too much, it's actually super little when it comes to quantity of models in a scene. Specially since you're going with a low poly look, basically any computer can handle that. So don't be scared, the worst thing that could ever happen is that you have to restart your computer.

    i would suggest making super simple things, i spent so much time on mine and then found out there were simple tricks i could have used to make it faster ( you learn about them later)  ive been out learning fusion , just came back out of curiosity :P
