Technical Aspects of UI Design and Developer Handoff

In this course we will use Blender and Substance Painter to create a classic 1936 Harley-Davidson Knucklehead motorcycle. You will learn about 3D modeling and UV mapping in Blender, as well as creating materials and textures in Substance Painter. We will also go over lighting and rendering in Blender; and even use Blender’s Video Sequence Editor to edit our final video.What do I get?This course contains 116 videos totaling more than 18 hours of content. You will also have access to the course project files which include the Blender scene files, the reference images, and HDR images.What will we do?We will begin by setting up our reference images in Blender. We will import side, front, and back views to help us with the creation and placement of our 3D models. You’ll learn about Blender’s modifier stack, how uniform scale can improve the effectiveness of Blender’s tools, and some tips and tricks about staying organized during a large project such as this.Once the modeling is complete, we will work on UV mapping each of the objects that make up the motorcycle. You’ll learn about the different methods of UV mapping that Blender has to offer, and how to efficiently pack your UV islands within the UV texture space.Then it’s time to export our model out of Blender and bring it into Substance Painter for texturing. You’ll learn how to use layer masks, and generators, and grunge maps to create detailed, realistic textures. And when the textures are complete, you’ll learn how to export Color, Normal, Metallic, and Roughness maps that are compatible with Blender and set them up to the appropriate materials.Finally, we will use HDR images to light the scene and then render multiple shots that can be edited together in Blender Video Sequence Editor.Why should I get this?If you’ve ever wanted to create detailed, realistic objects in Blender then t

Note : Who should enroll : This course is for those who are interested to be able to make AAA quality game environment objects and props using Blender as main 3d software.Requirements to enroll : It is not for complete beginners who never has used Blender, Substance painter, Marmoset toolbag before. Instead it is a beginner friendly course that means if you know how to move around in these software, may be has used those before but you consider yourself still a beginner then this course is for you. Software we are gonna use : Blender, Marmoset Toolbag, Substance painter and Photoshop and some free plugins for Substance Painter. So don't worry about the plugins, we will let you know from where you can download in the lecture.If it sounds like you then keep reading.What will you learn : Modeling in Blender both Low poly and High polyBaking Maps in Marmoset toolbagTexturing in Substance PainterWho am I to teach : My name is Emiel sleegers, I am a 3d environment artist at Ubisoft. I have created many courses on game environments, props and objects. Some More Readings : In this tutorial course we will go over on how to make a hero sci-fi game asset from start to finish.We will be using Blender3d for the modeling, Marmoset toolbag for the baking and final renders and substance painter along with a tiny bit of Photoshop for the texturing.We will go over many techniques but the most important ones are on how to get good shape and form while following a reference image, how to create a correct and efficient high poly model, and how to create an optimized low poly model. how to uv unwrap a model and how to bake a model properly and fast and of course on how to texture a model inside substance painter.I hope you are just as excit
