📝 Description
This isn’t a narrated tutorial with step-by-step hand-holding. It’s a raw, real-time look at how a pro approaches tree sculpting for games. The videos have background music and show the entire process—from blocking out the main forms to adding fine bark detail and root structures.
You get two complete projects, each broken into parts, so you can follow along at your own pace. The included ZTL files let you inspect the final topology and detail layers, and the custom brushes give you a head start on your own work. If you want to see how organic game assets are built without the filler, this is it.
