Blender 3D – Create Props and Assets for Games Step by Step by Sergio Rodríguez

Ready to build awesome 3D assets for your games? This course walks you through creating props and game-ready models in Blender, covering everything from initial blocking to final export for Unity and Unreal Engine. You’ll learn professional techniques to make your assets look great and perform well.

🎯 What you’ll learn

• Model semi-realistic props and assets optimized for video games.
• Use procedural texturing to speed up your workflow.
• Create PBR materials from the textures you generate.
• Build a reusable edge-detection node similar to EdgeWear in Substance Painter.
• Apply basic rigging and animation to your models.
• Export your assets seamlessly to Unity and Unreal Engine.

✅ Requirements

• A computer with Blender installed.
• Basic Blender knowledge is recommended but not required.

📝 Description

This course incorporates artificial intelligence tools to enhance asset creation. You’ll master the process of building 3D game-ready assets with a practical, hands-on approach. The course guides you through creating three progressively complex assets, reinforcing each stage of the workflow to boost your skills and efficiency.

You’ll cover everything from gathering references and modeling to advanced materials, rigging, animation, and exporting to popular game engines like Unity and Unreal Engine.

What you’ll do in this course:
* References & Planning: Get ready before you start any model.
* Blocking: Create accurate base shapes for your assets.
* Detailing: Add complexity using Boolean tools and other techniques.
* Geometry Cleanup: Optimize your models for smooth game performance.
* UV Mapping: Prepare your models perfectly for texturing.
* Edge Smoothing: Achieve flawless shading with bevel nodes.
* PBR Materials: Create realistic and optimized textures.
* Reusable Nodes: Build your own edge wear detection shader for quick reuse.
* Advanced Texturing: Add dirt, decals, and fine details to your models.
* 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 this course, you’ll have a solid workflow for producing professional for real-time engines.
* Creators looking to improve their Blender skills and learn professional asset creation workflows.
