In this course you will learn to create a photo-real game prop using modern game art production techniques. You will gather reference, generate a base model, create a high polygon model, bake details onto a low poly model, and then texture and present a final portfolio piece. This course is aimed at students who have some knowledge in 3d and game art and would like to learn more advanced techniques employed in the creation of modern game assets. We will be using Maya, Zbrush, Marmoset, and Substance Painter extensively throughout the course. When you are finished you will have your own model based of of a real-world prop suitable for use in modern game engines.

Week 1: Blocking-In Model
To start the project we will choose an object to model, gather reference, and create a initial, rough block-in of the model. The goal is to understand as much about the object as we can before we start modeling. This will likely be the lightest workload of the course, so make sure to take the extra time to check over the essentials module and make sure you have mastered the skills covered there. Later weeks will be much more time-consuming.

Week 2: Mid-Poly Block-In Model
In this module you will work to create the form of your model. This mid-poly block-in will not be textured, nor smoothed into a high resolution model. The goal is to create a mesh that is accurate to your reference that can become the starting point for your high and low poly models. This is often the most challenging part of the process.

Week 3: High-Poly Model
In this module you will take the low poly block in and generate a high polygon mesh that is accurate to the real world model as possible. We will be using a combination of sub division modeling and . The sky is the limit with poly counts, this model will never be UV unwrapped, it will just be used to generate texture maps for the game-ready version.

Week 4: Low-Poly Model
In this module you will take the mid-poly model from week 2 and reduce the geometry. This is the model we will be UV unwrapping and baking maps to. The goal for this model is to still achieve the silhouette of our object while using fewer vertices than the mid or high poly model.

It was a really good experience and I learned a lot of 3D modeling, unwrap and texture also about how the game design work. -THANK YOU-
Sobre Programa de cursos integrados Art for Games
In this beginner focused specialization we will show you the essentials of 2d and 3d game art production as well as concept art for games and current gen game art workflow. While each of the four courses will build your knowledge of the practice of game art, each module is a self contained unit designed to teach a specific area.
Perguntas Frequentes – FAQ
Quando terei acesso às palestras e às tarefas?
O acesso a palestras e tarefas depende do tipo de inscrição. Se você participar de um curso como ouvinte, você poderá ver quase todo o conteúdo do curso gratuitamente.

Do I have to use Maya/ZBrush/Substance/Marmoset? Can I use something else?
The course is designed with these programs in mind due to their place as industry standard tools. You may use other tools if you wish (blender, gimp, etc) and apply the same techniques to those programs, but keep in mind the course was designed for Maya, Zbrush, Substance, and Marmoset
Why do I need to present my models in Marmoset if I just want to make models for games?
While making models for games is all about getting it into the game, presenting your work in the best possible light is a big part of art. For personal or portfolio projects you should always take the time to present them. A few hours of lighting and rendering in marmoset will get much better results than spending those hours further polishing your model and textures.
Wow, this seems like too much work!
You will find the difficulty of your project has a lot to do with the complexity of the model you attempt to create. If it is your first time tackling these subjects I recommend keeping it simple for this course (a screwdriver rather than a car). You can always spend more time later improving and polishing your work after the course. Perfect is the enemy of done!
Does my model have to be of a real-world object, can it be fantasy, an illustration, or my own original design?
Every problem is a combination of what to do and how to do it, it's best if you aren't trying to do both at once. Most 3d artist work from image or concepts generated by another artists, so being able to follow someone else's design is an essential skill.
As for concept art, it's best to stick to real world things. Just like 2d artist start drawing with still life, 3d artists can learn a lot by recreating a real world object. Paintings lie, and concept art can often contain lots of visual shorthand, they are sketches meant to convey the idea the artist is going for. It will be much easier to find all the reference you will need from a real world object.
You could pick a movie or tv prop, as long as you can find enough reference. Our goal in this course is to learn how to take an object and create a photo-real facsimile of it. When you have done that, you will be much more able to make the kinds of assumptions and leaps in logic you will need to work with limited reference.
