Modeling
This course will teach you how to bring to life a game-ready AAA video game prop, ready for you to render as part of your portfolio.
Our 3D modelling focus will be on building a simple wooden structure for our market stall, followed by simulating cloth and adding realism to it. We will also be making sure that our vegetable crates look real by learning how to best place multiple copies of the same object in them.
Texturing and Materials
All in all, ‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ will provide you with intensive learning all in one place, giving you access to 2 references, 1 HDRI map, 1 HDRI portfolio gradient map, 1 human reference, 30 Blender textures, and 13 Unreal Engine 5 textures at 4 k resolution. This course will also teach you the basics of making your own materials and shaders using these textures in both Blender and Unreal Engine 5 (UE5).
‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ will teach you all about gamma, hue, and saturation in Blender Cycles.
Simulation
This course will show you how to simulate long pieces of cloth on top of a structure in a realistic way.
Our main tool will be the Blender cloth simulator, alongside using the array modifier to create the tassels. Also, using proportional editing, we will be fine-tuning delicate cloth movements.
Lighting & Rendering
By joining ‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’, you will learn about specific types of in-built Blender lighting functionalities that will enhance the happy and magical feeling of your medieval market stall.
We will also be creating a portfolio render for any multimedia site you wish to upload your completed model to.
‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ is a complete guide into using Cycles for lighting, rendering, shadow.
Game Engine Incorporation Unreal Engine 5
We will be taking a deep dive into Epic’s all-new Unreal Engine 5. Do not worry if you have not managed to download it and are still working with UE4 because everything you will learn in this section can be used in both.
Through ‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ you will be learning the basics of bringing your games asset to life, rendered in real-time.
We will look at how to import and use textures created specifically for Unreal Engine and use them to create the materials for our medieval market stall. You will also find out how to create a UE5 system to set up the roughness of different materials.
One of the main things about this course is that we will also be creating our own portfolio gradient skybox!
Course Resources & Freebies
The ‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ course resource pack includes 2 references, 1 HDRI map, 1 HDRI portfolio gradient map, 1 human reference, 30 Blender textures, and 13 Unreal Engine 5 textures at 4 k resolution.
The best course navigation tool ‘Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Props Medieval Market Stall’ will be included. The course handbook will give the control back to you and you will be able to fully streamline your learning process to your needs and wants seamlessly.
Join this course and come be part of a 3D modeling journey of over 6 hours of learning that will see you go away with a game-ready AAA medieval game asset full of life.

Professional Background
Neil Bettison is a professional 3D artist with 9 years of modelling experience, including assets, characters, and environments. Neil initially got started with 3D modelling because of his passion for gaming. Some of his first models included creating assets for City Skylines workshop.
After attending the University for the Creative Arts (UCA) for a BA(Hons) Computer Games Arts degree, Neil began freelancing.
As a freelancer, Neil expanded his portfolio through work on historical assets and environment, working to sell these models alongside custom work requests. He is successful on social media and he quickly became a success on YouTube since launching his 3D Tudor channel in 2019. Neil's YouTube channel has become a go-to for all Blender students and hobbyists alike. Following his success on YouTube, Neil went on to create Blender courses on Udemy, aiming to synchronise them with his free YouTube content so that students can get the most out of learning.
Neil's 3D models are made using a combination of Blender, Maya, and ZBrush - depending on their specifications. Neil uses Blender for particle effects and complex asset animation. Neil can use two popular game engines, Unreal Engine 4 (UE4) and Unity, with many years of experience in using both. He is proficient in Photoshop and uses this tool for his textures and the original concept art he produces as part of his 3D model research workflow. Neil uses Substance Painter but also makes his own materials and textures using Substance Designer. Neil prefers using Topogun for retopology, specialising in optimising retopology for AAA assets.
Neil strives to continuously expand his library of courses over time, aiming to introduce learners to more software and tips and tricks over time. Together, the journey is just beginning!
