Game Asset Creation: Modeling & Texture Painting in Blender

Explore the Blender interface and modeling workflows as you create wooden and iron assets like a sword and treasure box, using cubes, a 3D cursor, shading modes, and keyboard shortcuts.

Learn to model a treasure box in blender, starting with a cylinder and applying loop cuts, knife tool, extrude, bevels, and a mirror modifier, guided by proportional editing and merging.

Explore modeling treasure bag details in Blender using extrude, bevel, loop cuts, and mirror modifier. Apply snapping, origin adjustments, and projection for accurate unwrapping.

Continue modeling treasure details in Blender, focusing on the handle, wireframe face selection, and applying scale, bevel, and a mirror modifier before moving to a new collection for gold work.

Resize the iron sword, set the transform pivot to the bounding box center, and arrange wooden assets; then unwrap UVs and begin hand painting textures.

Unwrap the model to a single UV map, switch to texture paint, create a base color texture, and assign it to the wood material on all parts.

Paint cracks and dents in Blender with a small brush, dark cavities, and varied falloff, then switch views and use mirror to refine highlights and shadows.

Practice hand painting cracks and dents in Blender to texture game assets, including brush control, axis orientation, highlights, and edge details for a realistic sword texture.

Learn to unwrap a sword in Blender using the UV editor, mark seams, unwrap, and pack islands with margins while managing the mirror modifier for clean texture painting.

Master hand painting highlights on a blade in Blender by adjusting brush strength, using white for pop, mirroring, painting edges and cracks, and rotating the model for efficient texture paint.

Paint around the edges in Blender by using a shared image texture, painting with a larger radius on mirrored axes to darken seam edges where parts attach.

Learn texture painting in Blender by hand painting edges, rotating the object 90 degrees on the Y axis, and refining cracks, dents, and highlights with color sampling.

Learn UV unwrapping of a treasure box, gold, and rocks in blender, including seams, islands, and margin adjustments. Apply mirror modifiers, merge by distance, and prepare textures for hand painting.

Begin texture paint by loading a reference image and building a treasure box color palette. Sample and assign colors, enable cavity and shadow, then save for hand painting.

Paint a treasure box in Blender by updating the UV map, creating a base color texture, using paint masks to separate parts, and assigning textures across objects.

Learn to hand paint the upper part of a treasure box in Blender by adding dents, cracks, and highlights with texture paint, including mirroring on the z axis.

Paint highlights on the treasure box by painting cavities from right to left, using orthographic view and adjusting color brushes to emphasize texture.

Paint the gold metal texture on the handles with texture paint, adjust brush color and blend mode, turn off the mirror modifier for accurate side-by-side highlights in orthographic view.

Use Blender's texture paint workflow to color and detail a treasure box wood surface by referencing palettes, sampling colors, painting with brushes, enabling mirrors, and adding highlights for depth.

Learn to hand paint game land and gold textures in Blender using texture painting, base color and alpha setup, brush masks, strength control, and highlights to add depth.

Learn to hand-paint gold textures in blender, applying ambient occlusion, careful color choices, highlights, and subtle cracks to create realistic treasure box surfaces.

Discover practical lighting techniques in Blender using environment textures and emission lights, then set up a camera, animate with keyframes, and render an alpha sequence.

Get familiar with blender by building a bucket, learning navigation, hotkeys, and basic operations like add, move, rotate, and scale, plus viewport overlays and render basics.

Learn to use edit mode in Blender to shape a cylinder, switch modes with tab, select vertices and faces with number keys, and transform with g, r, s.

Create random wood planks with holes in Blender using the Loop Tools add-on, applying modifiers, adjusting geometry with G, L, and I, and beveling for a smooth finish.

Model a bezier curve as a handle, convert it to a mesh, and apply bevels and subdivisions. Set the 3d cursor as the origin for accurate rotation and correct normals.

Learn to place bolts on a surface in Blender using the bolt factory add-on, enable snap mode with face alignment, and position, scale, and duplicate bolts precisely.

Explore shading and UV unwrapping in Blender, using HDR lighting, texture painting, and node workflows to apply iron and wood textures with metallic, roughness, normals, and bump maps.

Explore image reference to begin low poly modeling in Blender 4, learn to pack the references with control P, and practice shortcuts while preparing your project files.

Explore the Blender tool bars and selection controls, learn to use G, R, S with axis constraints, toggle viewport overlays, work with origins, the 3D cursor, and basic object creation.

Explore transform pivot point tools in blender, using the bounding box and 3D cursor to rotate and scale, and learn how individual origin affects transforms.

Explore the pie menu to rotate a sphere around another, moving the 3d cursor and setting the origin to the cursor for accurate, controllable animation.
