Summary of this indepth course

With over 80 videos this course tries to cover all the main elements of creating a games model, that can be imported ito your favourite games engine (in this course we import into Unity5), there are hours and hours of training, and I have tried to be as thorough as possible with a clear direction of our goals.

Programmes used

Maya 2013

Photoshop CS6

Unity 5

ZBrush (but this is optional and only to demo quicker workflows)

I have been working hard over the last few months to put this together for you guys, this course was created after one of my you tube subscribers asked for it. It ended up being the biggest course I have ever done, I hope you enjoy it!!
