About Course and Myself1:15
Workflow Overview2:42
Explore integrating AI tools into the game design workflow, from idea generation with ChatGPT to 3D design in Blender and Unity, including Midjourney and Leonardo AI concept images and textures.

Installing Blender and First Look2:22
Install Blender, the free 3d design tool, and explore its interface. Learn the 3d viewport, object hierarchy, and properties, with an introduction to modeling, uv editing, shading, and rendering.
Design with ChatGPT31:03
Use ChatGPT to generate Blender scripts and prompts, then build a 3d game scene with a platform, walls, and flying blocks in Blender, applying consistent materials and iterative prompts.
Finalizing 3D Scene on Blender21:18
Finalize the 3d scene in Blender by adding an npc mushroom, coins, and a tree, shaping with cylinders and spheres, applying bevels and materials, and linking objects for easy edits.

Installing Unity Game Engine and Create Project11:14
Install Unity Hub and the latest LTS Unity Editor 2022.3.2f1, create a new 3d Mario game project using the URP sample, and import the third person character controller.
Asset Export and Import15:25
Export assets from Blender as FBX with correct scale and rotation using apply transform, then import into Unity by placing models and textures in folders under MarioGameEnvironment and plan skybox.
Skybox Generation with Blockadelabs AI16:00
Generate 360-degree skyboxes with Blockadelabs AI using create new and remix modes, prompts, and negative prompts. Explore styles like realistic, manga, cartoon, and fantasy lands, and download for Unity.
Import Skybox to Unity5:00
Adding Animation to NPC15:26
Finalizing Game Level27:07
Finalize and polish the Unity game level by rearranging scene elements, adding colliders, and refining NPC animation; create the RestartGame script to enable respawn and test gameplay.
Polishing Scene -Lighting/ PostProcess13:43
Polish your Unity scene with directional lighting and post-processing, bake lightmaps, use a skybox, and apply effects like vignette, film grain, and LUTs to create a cohesive, polished game level.

Description

Welcome to IRONHEAD Games' groundbreaking course, "3D Design with ChatGPT, Midjourney, Blender, and Unity!"

This pioneering journey dives deep into the integration of AI and 3D design, meeting the growing demand for AI-assisted 3D design!

In recent years, AI and 3D Design have been weaving a dynamic interplay, leading to thrilling innovations across game design, animation, and VR/AR realms. Spectacular creations such as AI Dungeon and Blender's short film "Spring" mark just the beginning of an exhilarating creative voyage.

We're thrilled to continuously experiment with innovative tools such as ChatGPT, Midjourney, Blender, Leonardo AI, Unity and BlockadeLabs. These highly valuable resources have been instrumental in our accomplishments thus far, and we're eager to see where they take us next. There's no limit to what we can achieve together!

In the first part of our course, we will unlock the possibilities of ChatGPT and Midjourney, showing you how these AI technologies can revolutionize your 3D design workflow by generating narratives and concept images.

The second part of our course zooms in on Blender, a favored 3D modeling software in the industry. We'll guide you in harnessing the synergies between Blender and ChatGPT to enhance your 3D design stage.

In the third part, we will explore Leonardo AI, an innovative text-to-image generative AI tool. Here, you will learn how to add a new layer of realism to your 3D models by using AI-generated textures.

Lastly, we will tie everything together in the fourth part using Unity. Here, you will learn to integrate and animate your 3D models, harnessing the power of Unity's rendering engine, often with the aid of ChatGPT, to breathe life into your designs.

This course is meticulously designed to take you from the fundamentals of AI and 3D modeling to advanced techniques, building your skills step-by-step. Upon course completion, you will have a fully functional 3D project that leverages AI and 3D modeling, laying a solid foundation for your own dynamic and immersive 3D creations.

**Please note, this course is tailored for all learners - from novice to advanced, with no prior knowledge of AI, 3D modeling, or game development required.

IRONHEAD Games is a distinguished game development course provider on Udemy, already catering to over 37,000 students worldwide with our array of successful courses!
