Greetings!
Throughout this tutorial series you are going to learn AAA techniques that I use personally and professionally to create props for video games! From blockout to final renders, I take you through my thought process and show you how I use various software like Maya, ZBrush, and Substance Painter to create: blockouts, sculpted wood, sculpting foliage, proper UVs and packing methods, lighting, and rendering in Unreal Engine 5 and more! My goal is to give you more confidence in the asset/prop creation process for video games.
NOTE
This course is intended for those wanting to further their knowledge of video game pipelines and will require a basic level of understanding in Maya, ZBrush, Photoshop, Substance Painter, and UE5. Intended for beginners/intermediate users.
