Description
Do you want to create environments for games without creating everything from scratch?Then I welcome you to Efficient Environment Creation For Games.About Me:My name is Arash Aref and I teach 3d game environment art with a love for Lighting And Prop and Material creation. I have had lots of happy students who enjoy learning new techniques.By the End Of This Course, You Will Be Able To:Create Environments EfficientlyRe-use What You Have Already Created To Save TimeLearn Primitive Geometry Nodes Setup for Fast Procedural MeshesLearn Primitive UE5 Blueprint for Fast IterationWhat You Will Learn:Translate current day references to old environmentsKit-Based workflow for fast iterationModular environment creationRe-using what you already have to save time and energy in productionCourse Project Overview:We will start with taking a look at our reference board to get an idea, but since our reference board belongs to the current day and our goal is to create an ancient environment; we will use our imagination. Then using the knowledge gained from the references we start the blokcout process to test our ideas to make sure they work. The next step is to start creating the kits and using the existing kits we will create a complete environment. We finish the course by creating a simple water material and lighting and post processing.Who is This Course For?The course is for those who want to learn fast environment creation techniques.The course is also for artists who want to speed up their workflow in environment art.Who is Not The Ideal Student For This Course?This course is not designed for absolute Blender beginners.What Are The Requirements or Prerequisites For Taking This Course?I expect you to have some prior knowledge in game environment artJoin Me Now:So if you want to learn more techniques to efficient environment creation, then join me now, and take your skills to the next level. Don't forget that investing in yourself will pay for the rest of your life. Hope to see you in the course.
