Model and Texture A Game Asset – Full Process (Sci-Fi Crate) by Armored Colony

Hey Tutorial heads, this time we are making a game-asset (an optimized mesh rendered in real-time).

We will start from scratch and create a high resolution Sub-D model first. Afterwards we will transform it into an optimized game mesh and create some UVs. Then I will show you how to create amazing textures with Substance Painter and render our crate in real-time using Marmoset Toolbag.

We even make a little holographic animation at the end to make our asset more interesting.

• Using SubD modeling to create the High Resolution model.
