Description:

Whether you followed the AKM tutorial all the way or just want to learn how to make amazing renders, this tutorial is all about doing exactly that. We cover everything that matters for a smooth Marmoset workflow with top results.

We start by learning all important settings for our material setup and continue with the powerful marmoset cameras applying all the right settings to them.

You will then learn how to make different kinds of renders such as having the whole gun in the picture and we will match it to look as close to an actual promotion picture as possible.

The next renders are focusing on close up zooms to show off some of our details that we have on them. We will then add some extra depth to our renders in Photoshop by adding some particles to the scene as well as cool looking smoke which comes out of our barrel elements near the hand-guard.

As the last two things in this tutorial you will learn how to render out a 360 animation as well as creating a stunning looking "marmoset viewer" file ready to be uploaded to art station or any other place.

Software used: Marmoset Toolbag 2, Photoshop

Important note for Substance Painter 2 users:

http://chamferzone.com/find-missing-generators-materials-substance-painter-2

Description:

Learn how to create state of the art textures that are as close to photo realism as it can get for video game standards.

Using the industries latest PBR techniques we will start by baking out all the essential maps and continue with a short introduction into some of Painter’s core features. Learn how to import our freshly baked normal map in to Photoshop where we add some diamond pattern to our grip part of the AKM.

Back in Painter we will then tweak a procedural wood texture until it matches our reference image and apply all the important base materials to our model.

We continue with several passes of wear and tear and go through every individual object to make sure that it looks perfect from every angle we are looking from. Learn how to hand paint in normal map information straight on to our mesh as well as fine tuning procedural techniques to get the wear and tear in just the right amounts that we want to have.

At the end we will have a look at some of the export options where we can get them ready for Marmoset or any other target engine.

Software used: Substance Painter, Photoshop

Description:

Let’s create the ultimate AKM and let’s do it the right way. At the end of this course you will be equipped with powerful skills and knowledge in hard-surface weapon creation. No fast forwarding or skipping any parts and full commentary on every step until we have the perfect model in front of us.

For that you’re going to learn how to make a proper scene setup, defining the right size of our AK followed by the actual low poly and high poly modeling process in which every single piece requires us to make use of clever modeling techniques to get the perfect results.

Once the low-poly process is in its finishing stage we are going to work on our high-poly model to ensure we get the perfect baking results later down the road.

Software used: 3Ds Max 2016

Important: the modeling part of the tutorial makes heavy use of the "chamfer" modifier which is only available in 3Ds Max 2015 and 2016. If you have an older versions of 3Ds Max you can instead google for a third party modifier called "quad chamfer".

Description:

Do you think about a career in the video game industry as a 3D Artist and happen to like Battle Mechs? Then this tutorial might be perfect for you. Follow along as this comprehensive nearly 15 hour long course as we model, unwrap, bake and texture a battle mech to current video game standards. Every step is documented without fast forwarding. At the end of the free part you have the option to learn even more with the extended edition in which we go over 10 more triple A quality PBR textures.

3Ds Max - Modeling

The modeling part covers the scene setup followed by the low and high-poly modeling in which we make use of advanced actions, modifiers and tools to help us create the battle mech. After the modeling process we will jump straight into the UVW Editor and focus on the importance of an optimized UV-Layout to get the maximum out of our later texture.

Substance Painter - Texturing

In the Substance Painter part we will then bake our normal map as well as other important support maps. Right after that you will learn how to make an ultra realistic texture for our mech. Learn how to create our base layer materials and how to use procedural textures, masks and generators to form up the wear and tear on our mech resulting in a photo realistic appearance. You will also get to know the latest tools that Substance Painter currently has to offer. Add additional normal map with curvature and AO information and learn how to add text as well as creating an almost infinite amount of different looks and styles by switching out our base layers.

What are the requirements?

It is recommended to follow the course with the same software we use throughout the tutorial:

3Ds Max 2017 (can be 2016 and 2015 too) and Substance Painter 2 or the latest 2017 installment of Substance Painter.
