Learn to make your own game assets from scratch in this complete beginner’s course!

? We will cover the basics of Blender (This section can be skipped if you have used Blender a few times)

? Modeling an asset (Treasure Chest) for a game in Blender.

? What UVs are and UV mapping in Blender.

? The Basics of Substance Painter and how to quickly make custom textures from Substance Painter’s included preset material library.

? The basics of Rigging and Animation.

? How to rig and animate our treasure chest and then import our animations, textures and models into multiple game engines.

? Importing our assets into Unreal Engine 5 and Unity.

? Modeling a more complex asset (Sword) using a high to low poly workflow.

? Texturing our sword using materials made completely from scratch in Substance Painter.

? Adding dirt and scratches to our texture.

? Finalizing our sword as a static AND skeletal mesh before importing both to the game engines.

I have also included several extra videos to show various alternative ways to work or useful tips and tricks.

I made this course with complete beginners in mind as well as beginner indie developers who want to learn the basics of 3D to have more flexibility in editing or creating their own assets. To achieve this, the course is divided into modular sections so if you have some knowledge you can skip to where you want to start. This also makes it much easier to come back and review a part of this course if you forget how to do something on your own.

With 10+ hours of content, this course is ready to take you from having no knowledge of 3D to being ready to bring your very own game assets into any game engine you chose.
