Book Description
If you are familiar with modeling, this book will help you discover a practical and efficient workflow designed to accelerate your asset creation process for use in multiple projects, including games and the metaverse.
Complete with shortcuts and tips on how to speed up the process, this book guides you in modeling assets and characters with the help of references. You’ll learn how to optimize the modeled asset for maximum rendering performance within game engines and the metaverse. Next, you’ll get to grips with unwrapping the 3D model for texturing and explore multiple texturing techniques to breathe life into your 3D models. Finally, you’ll integrate the 3D model to work seamlessly across a myriad of programs and game engines.
By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills to efficiently create any type of 3D asset from scratch for use in renders, animations, or immersive gaming experiences.
What you will learn
- Model game and metaverse 3D assets starting with primitive shapes
- Optimize the modeled asset for maximum rendering performance
- Texture the asset with PBR image textures, real life images and/or procedural textures
- Bake the resulting texture to a single image for the textures to work in the metaverse and in any given program
- Learn tips about human anatomy to make believable characters and avatars
- Learn the differences in workflow for organic and non-organic asset 3D modeling
- Understand the importance of reference for any type of work, especially characters

“It is written and presented in a way that allows the reader to feel as if they are working alongside a generous, experienced expert who explains their thinking in an accessible and succinct manner. This will help beginners build a conceptual framework to grow their expertise. The book is also a valuable resource for experienced artists who are making the transition to Blender as explanations start from standard 3D industry concepts and are presented through Blender’s interface. Another valuable aspect to this book is that it is full of professional development advice such as how important the art of “seeing” is when working in 3D, how to seek out valuable feedback, and how to process that feedback in order to develop into the artist you want to become.”
