A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Master Blender for game asset creation and seamlessly integrate your models into Unity with this in-depth course. You'll learn how to create modular assets, design procedural materials, and prepare game-ready models using advanced techniques that enhance workflow efficiency and asset quality. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate user of Blender, this course equips you with the skills to bring your game development pipeline to the next level. You’ll begin by establishing a solid workflow for both Blender and Unity, learning how to set preferences, use essential shortcuts, and optimize your workspace. From there, you’ll dive into modeling techniques, exploring everything from basic transformations to advanced procedural material creation. You'll learn how to create assets that are optimized for game engines, including the proper use of textures, materials, and UV mapping. The course covers modular modeling in great detail, focusing on creating interchangeable turret parts, using symmetry and mirroring tools to speed up your work, and refining your assets with real-time feedback in Unity. You’ll also learn how to bake various maps like normal maps and ambient occlusion, helping you create low-poly assets that look detailed and realistic in-game. This course is perfect for aspiring game artists and developers who want to specialize in asset creation for games using Blender and Unity. A basic understanding of Blender or 3D modeling is recommended, as this course covers intermediate to advanced topics in both modeling and integration. By the end of the course, you will be able to create modular game assets in Blender, apply procedural materials, set up a pipeline for Unity integration, and bake high-quality textures and maps for game-ready assets.
