In this video (objectives)…
In this lecture we’ll model the door frame, door and ground plane.
Modelling Rocks & Pavers15:50
In this video (objectives)…
In this lecture we finalise our modelling by creating some small rocks on the ground and some pavers to act as steps at the front of the building.
Marking Seams & Unwrapping7:51
In this video (objectives)…
In this lecture Grant shows us how and why to mark our seams for unwrapping and start the process of creating a texture that we can paint on.
Fix Unwrap Stretching24:40
In this video (objectives)…
During the unwrapping process its common to get stretching. The more we can eliminate stretching the better our final work will be.

Let’s create a texture that we can start to paint on.
Texture Painting Base Colours30:38
In this video (objectives)…
The moment we’ve been waiting for - we start our texture painting by blocking out the base colours.
Painting A Rock29:42
In this video (objectives)…
Next we’ll paint the ground and add variation so that it looks a bit more interesting.
Painting The Ground41:35
Painting Metal Material23:24
In this video (objectives)…
Being able to hand-paint metal materials is very useful. In this lecture we’ll paint the metal band that wraps around the turret.
Painting Wood Material11:34
In this video (objectives)…
We practice our skill of painting wood materials by making our door look like its a solid wooden door.
Painting Brick Material28:00
In this video (objectives)…
Sometimes less is more - in this lecture we’ll paint a couple of brick details to give the impression that the entire structure is made of bricks.
Painting Door Frame9:38
In this video (objectives)…
In this lecture we paint the stones around the doorframe.
Painting Upper Blocks10:43
In this video (objectives)…
On top of the turret we have the castle crenellations (castle bumps) so let’s have them stand out.
Painting Timelapse4:40
In this video (objectives)…
Grant finished up the extra bits and pieces of his creation and we show you this as a timelapse, not so you can follow along, but so you have and idea of what he has worked on.
Blending Between Objects20:02
In this video (objectives)…
We’ve been painting individual items on our model, the next step is to blend them nicely together by painting in the join areas.
Creating The Final Look13:34
In this video (objectives)…
Finally we tidy up our scene and render out our final image. Be sure to share your creation in the discussions!
