What you'll learn:
- Model and sculpt stylized assets for games
- Define and paint stylized materials like metal, stone, and wood
- Sculpt and bake normal maps from a high poly asset down to a low poly object
- Create Tileable textures using ZBrush and Photoshop
In this course we will be going through the process of creating a small stylized dungeon environment from the blockout stage to the final presentation. I will be guiding you through the process of modeling the low poly assets and show you different techniques of UVing. We will then take our assets into ZBrush where I will be showing how to define all the materials that you will find in this environment. We will use some of the ZBrush sculpts to render tiling texture flats that we can composite in Photoshop. I will thenbe guiding you through the process of painting the textures for a few assets so you can reproduce this process for the remaining models. Finally, we are going to set up a scene in Marmoset for the final presentation. By the end of this course,you should be able to create and understand the workflow that I use to create stylized environments like this one.
