Full Description

Description

This course contains the use of artificial intelligence. Master the process of creating 3D game-ready assets with this practical and hands-on course. You will build three progressively more complex assets, repeating each stage of the workflow to reinforce your skills and improve your efficiency. The course covers everything from references and modeling to advanced materials, rigging, animation, and exporting to game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine. What you'll do in this course:

References & Planning: Prepare before starting any model
Blocking: Create accurate base shapes
Detailing: Add complexity using Boolean tools and other techniques
Geometry Cleanup: Optimize your model for game performance
UV Mapping: Prepare the model for texturing
Edge Smoothing: Achieve perfect shading with bevel nodes
PBR Materials: Create realistic and optimized textures
Reusable Nodes: Build your own edge wear detection shader for quick re-use
Advanced Texturing: Add dirt, decals, and fine details
Rigging & Animation: Animate one of your assets for in-game use
Exporting: Prepare and send your models to Unity and Unreal By the end of the course, you will have a solid workflow for producing professional, optimized, and game-ready 3D assets that look great in any engine. Who this course is for
Game developers and 3D artists who want to create high-quality, optimized assets for real-time engines
Creators looking to improve their Blender skills and learn professional asset creation workflows
