Learning to create your own game characters opens the door for you to create the incredible video games you've always dreamed of. Blender is free to download and use for any purpose and has proven itself to be a powerful tool for independent and commercial projects all over the world.

Blender provides an excellent low-cost way to learn the fundamentals of 3D modeling, texturing, and rendering. Since 1995, it has been growing in features and usage in the animation and visual effects industry.

Content and Overview

In this course you’ll create a game character from the first polygon in Blender to the final controllable character in the Unity game engine. Throughout the course you’ll learn about Blender’s modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation tools. You’ll learn the techniques and strategies needed to tackle a complex project such as this, so you can bring your own characters to life.

In the first section we will create a character using Blender’s sculpting tools. We will model a base mesh using box modeling techniques, and then we will use Blender’s Multiresolution modifier to create high-resolution detail on the character. 

We will then use Blender’s retopology tools, the Grease Pencil and the BSurfaces tools, to create a low resolution version of our high-resolution sculpt. And we will bake Normal and Ambient Occlusion maps, from the hi-res sculpt to the low-poly mesh. We will then import these texture maps into Unity and test them on our character in-game.

We will look at some of the unique issues regarding UV mapping an organic model like a character. We will use Blender’s UV mapping tools to create an organized UV map that can be exported to external paint programs like Photoshop or GIMP for texturing. And we will look at Blender’s Texture Painting tools and how to use them to create texture maps for the character. 

Then we will use Blender’s Rigify add-on to create a basic rig for our game character. You’ll learn how to prep the character for rigging and generate the base rig. We will then generate the control objects of the rig and go over the various controls and how they can be used during animation. From there we will adjust the weights of the character using Blender’s vertex groups, and parent the character’s war hammer and shield to the rig.

You’ll then learn the basics of creating animation cycles for a game character. We’ll use Blender’s Graph Editor and Dope Sheet to animate the Idle and Run animations, as well as create a Jump Pose.

Finally, we will take it all into Unity and write some code to get our character running and jumping through a test level.

Description

Blender Character Modeling For Beginners HD is a series by Riven Phoenix that takes the art student through a step-by-step process in creating a high quality 3D human character design from scratch using a formula based system that uses no reference. The art student will start by building a realistic human figure model using a simple cube, then using special formulas created by Riven Phoenix be able to model the complete human figure down to the last detail. The power of the formula based system is that any person can follow along to get the same exact results. Students will also become very intimate with the design of the human figure using this formula based system as they build out the surface anatomy. This course is designed to teach art students how to use blender and become more confident with it to develop their own character designs from scratch. Each step is explained clearly so the student can follow along with ease.

• Students should expect to watch one lecture at a time and then follow the lecture with a session in Blender.

Description

This course was designed for Unity developers who want to extend their capabilities to include 3D modeling in Blender. Whether you're interested in designing unique 3D props for your games, building awesome levels, or tweaking your existing Unity Assets, this course can help you get through the learning curve and put you in the driver's seat. You'll learn to Blend like a pro with a good working knowledge of all of the most common tools for editing video game props and level design. We cover all the basic terms, keyboard shortcuts, best practices, time-saving tips, as well as a comprehensive introduction to animating without the use of bones or rigging, applying materials quickly with seamless textures or fine tuning your final product with ambient occlusion texture maps. Understand how to UV Unwrap 3D objects, apply your own graphics and more!

Who is the target audience?

• This course is intended for video game developers who want to learn Blender for 3D modeling, texture mapping and simple animations. No previous modeling experience is required. The course is directed towards Unity game developers specifically, but a student could learn what they need from this course for any video game development platform. This is not a course to improve your skills as a programmer or game designer. This course skips over areas of Blender that do not pertain to video game development, and narrows in on just the stuff you want to learn!

What Will I Learn?

• Create their own architectural renders using Blender
• Texture and make realistic materials for their own scenes.
• Work comfortably in Blender

Requirements

• Students need to have Blender installed on their computer.
• It is recommended that you have a computer mouse

Description

Do you want to learn how to create stunning photorealistic 3D architectural renders in Blender?  Do you want to be able to digitally recreate your own house in Blender? By the end of this course you will have made a beautiful 3D modern house. The first section of this course will be focused on modeling our modern house. Over the next couple sections we will be adding materials, textures, modelings and lighting to our scene. I will then show you how to render your image and post process it. And because I am nice I will show you how to edit your image in Photoshop as well!

Learning Blender can be very hard when you first start that's why I built this course for all levels beginner to advanced. I will be showing you step by step on what to do and why we do it. From the basics of modeling to advanced techniques like creating grass with particle systems.

I have also included 2 bonus sections in this course. The first one is creating a realistic tree in Blender. We will go through how to create an organic looking tree, apply textures and use particle systems to create the branches. 

The second bonus I will show you how to create a modern couch in Blender. First thing we will do is model and sculpt it. This will add some creases to make it more realistic. Then, of course, the materials and rendering.

I will be giving away 13 professionally made models and 5 high resolution textures. You are free to use these models for other scenes but you are not allowed to sell or upload them. By enrolling in this course you agree to that.

Description

We at Mammoth Interactive value input from students like you. Please feel free to leave us your feedback or questions. We are always happy to help.

In this course, you learn how to build a 3D game with Unity and Blender. This course is unique because we make both the code and the art for the game from scratch. We teach you the fundamentals of designing, coding, and modeling a 3D game.

First you design the game "The Legend of Zenda" and its functionality in Unity. You learn how to code in C# and build video game levels. Don't worry if you've never coded before. We start simple and add more to the game as the course goes on. 

Why Unity?

Unity is one of the most popular platforms in game development. You can use Unity to build 2D and 3D games. Unity is cross-platform, which means it is easy to use with other platforms.

Then you create the 3D models for the game in Blender. You build all the art assets for the game, including the characters, weapons, cannon, dungeon, and temple. You learn how to integrate your art from Blender into Unity. 

Why Blender?

Blender, like Unity, is a popular production suite that is free to download. Blender is a revolutionary tool for making 3D art digitally. With Blender, you can make art assets for games, like we do in this course. 

Even if you're not an artist, you can make basic art models. You may have heard of Axiom Verge and Stardew Valley. These games are million-dollar successes. But did you know that only one person made each? 

Usually it takes a whole team of people to build a game. But creators Thomas Happ and Eric Barone developed and designed their games by themselves. Now they're millionaires. You can do it, too.

Let's get started!

Who is the target audience?

• Anyone who wants to learn Unity or Blender.
• Anyone who wants to learn game development.
