Learn Stylized Game Art Creation : Blender and Painter

Add and organize reference images into a collection, adjust opacity to reduce jagged lines, and reset rotations and locations before using move, rotate, and scale transforms with axis constraints.

Learn hammer modeling in Blender by creating cylinders, shaping vertices in edit mode, applying scale and bevels, and using extrusion and duplication to build cylindrical and blocky parts.

Master common Blender modeling tools: duplicate with 50, constrain to x–y, join with ctrl j, separate by selection with p, hide, and apply transforms with ctrl a.

Learn to sculpt a stylized rock in Blender by applying booleans for larger cuts and bevels for variation. Refine the form with voxel-based sculpting and practical modifiers.

Sculpt the wood handle with brush dynamics, adjusting size and strength to create patterns. Unwrap UVs, optimize low-poly geometry for game engines, and bake textures in Substance Painter.

Learn UV unwrapping in Blender using a UV checker, mark seams on flat and cylindrical parts, check stretching in the UV editor, and pack before exporting.

Create a rock material from scratch by layering color variations, black masks, and textures. Use grayscale maps, blur slope filters, and symmetry to achieve a stylized, painterly rock.

Add a post process adjustment layer with a pastel pink tint. Apply a stylized big lighting filter, adjust diffuse and specular, and tweak color, warmth, or coolness for the look.

Export texture maps from Substance Painter, import the low-poly model into Blender, set up a principled shader linking color, normal, metal, roughness, and emission maps for presentation.

Export selected Blender objects as FBX to Unreal Engine, then use Substance Painter to export Unreal textures with occlusion, roughness, and metallic maps for the material.
