• Tools: A computer capable of running Blender and Substance Painter.
• Hardware: A 3-button mouse is highly recommended.

📝 Description

This comprehensive program dives into the full 3D game art pipeline, focusing on production-proven workflows. You won’t just be clicking along; you’ll learn the reasoning and logic behind each step, empowering you to create your own assets confidently. The course is structured into two main parts: the first covers modeling, high-poly to low-poly workflows, and UV unwrapping, ensuring your base meshes are optimized and ready. The second part focuses on bringing your models to life through texture baking, PBR texturing in Substance Painter, and final real-time lighting and presentation in Blender Eevee. This holistic approach ensures you understand how every stage impacts the final result.
