Discover a professional VR-based concept design workflow for games assets
In the workshop, Koshu reveals how to design 3D weapon assets suitable for use in videogames using a VR-based concept design workflow.
He begins with an introduction to using Substance 3D Modeler, which he uses for the initial VR sketching work, before using Blender to refine the initial sculpt.
Topics covered include retopologizing hard-surface assets in Blender, node-based texturing workflow, and how to animate the model.
Koshu also reveals the key Blender add-ons he uses in his concept design workflow.
They include modeling tools HardOps and Boxcutter, texturing and detailing tool DECALmachine, and cable generator Cablerator.
As well as the training videos, viewers of the workshop can download supporting project files including Koshu’s Blender files and the FBX model.
