Blender To Substance Painter To Unreal Engine 4

navigate blender basics: pan with the mouse wheel, right-click to select and move, left-click to place objects. switch modes, add edge loops, extrude, and apply subdivision surface for refinement.

Learn how to add a background image in Blender by downloading a royalty-free image, importing it, and using orthographic view to switch perspectives with the number pad.

delete the cube, add a cylinder, and shape the ax handle into a low poly asset by scaling, moving, and rotating in edit mode, then extrude and add edge loops.

Learn to model a low-poly axe head in Blender by turning a cube into the head using edit mode, edge loops, and vertex merging.

Merge the axe head and handle to form a single object, then create a high-poly version using subdivision surface and edge loops, comparing 11,680 high-poly to 200 low-poly faces.

Generate a color ID map from the low-poly model using a uv map, then paint color IDs on the high-poly object with vertex paint.

Export low-poly and high-poly assets from Blender as FBX using the Unreal Engine 4 exporter, with scale, smoothing, and no animations; prepare to import into Substance Painter in next video.

Learn to import a low-poly asset into Substance Painter, bake color and normal maps for Unreal Engine 4, paint with smart materials, mask selections, and export textures.

Import a Blender high- and low-poly asset into Unreal Engine 4 via Epic Launcher, color ID mapped in Substance Painter, and create a material using base color and normal textures.
