About the Course

In this 12-lesson course, Evgenii Vasiliev teaches the basics of 3D game model creation. Students will also learn animation and some aspects of Blender, such as frequently used modifiers.

Key skills acquired include sculpting high-poly models, deriving low-poly models, UV mapping, and adding textures. The course covers techniques like ambient occlusion and baking normal maps. Students will work from scratch as well as with pre-existing concepts and references.
