Project Grenade-Game ready asset!

Master the extrude tool in Zmodeler, using edge loops, smart attraction, and hotkeys (alt, shift, control) to sculpt precise game-ready grenade geometry.

Transform Ben Morrow's Elysium concept art into a game-ready grenade asset by mastering polygonal modeling, symmetry, extrusion, and clean topology with ZModeler.

Model a grenade by adding edge loops, bridging gaps, and extruding to form a solid shell. Ensure clean subdivision by avoiding rogue polygons and maintaining proper topology.

Model the grenade part by rounding edges, using retopology for the upper piece, and applying live boolean cuts with a cylinder while flipping normals outward for a clean, double-sided read.

Build a grenade part by retopologizing, enable symmetry, refine topology, and apply adoptive skin with precise thickness to deliver a game-ready asset.

Model the grenade’s upper part by adding an edge loop, extruding and transforming it, keep the geometry centered, then refine with bevels and clean, squared polygons.

Continue modeling the grenade, refine shapes, duplicate and center parts, extrude, and carve holes to shape clean topology.

Finish the grenade model by adding a sleek low-poly pin and refining the mesh with edge loops, extrude, bevels, and a spiral for a game-ready asset.

Refine grenade topology using poly paint to sketch clean islands, separate parts, and prepare for smooth subdivision and bevels while avoiding bad topology.

Learn to center and align grenade geometry, clean up topology, close holes with edge loops and bridges, and refine with masking and poly groups, preparing for mirroring and beveling.

Advance the grenade model by building four-point polygons, enabling symmetry on X and Z axes, and applying topology tools like adoptive skin to fix issues and refine the mesh.

This lecture teaches fixing welding gaps, aligning polygons, and using poly groups and creasing to prepare a grenade model for high-poly sculpting and texturing in substance.

Model the grenade by organizing geometry with poly groups, creating subdivision levels, applying creases, and turning this into a high poly version.

Combine grenade parts into one model, preserve the inner glowing material as a separate layer, unwrap UV maps, then create high and low poly versions and decimate for substance texturing.

Learn the basics of Substance Painter, from starting a new project and selecting resolution to navigating the interface, with non-destructive workflows, brush settings, layers, channels, and mesh maps.

Explore Substance Painter basics, from painting textures and applying smart materials to using brushes, projections, stencils, and environment maps for game-ready assets.

Start a Substance Painter project, set up low and high poly assets, bake mesh maps, and explore texture maps such as normal, ambient occlusion, curvature, position, and thickness.

Build a game-ready grenade texture in Substance Painter by layering base color and color variation, using nondestructive edits, then apply grunge dirt and metallic and roughness maps.

Duplicate the base layer, mask and color selected areas red with polygon field, then refine roughness with a dedicated layer and field mask while importing decals as textures with stencils.

Master emissive techniques in Substance Painter to create a glowing grenade asset. Set emissive intensity, apply blue glow with masks, and layer dirt and dripping rust for realistic edge lighting.

Learn to add variation to a mostly single-color grenade by splitting metal and color layers, masking with black fills, and adjusting dirt and blue scratches in substance painter.

Fine-tune the dirt level, apply a paint layer for a liquid-like grime, and use 3d simplex noise in the mask to add texture for a clean grenade render.

Export textures for various engines using output templates, then composite renders in Photoshop with non-destructive adjustment layers to produce a final hero shot.

Develop a super low poly grenade by retopologizing and separating parts, bake detail from a high-poly model in substance painter, and maintain clean topology with symmetry, bridging, and welds.

Build a game-ready, ultra-low-poly grenade by editing edges, applying symmetry, merging and welding vertices, and reducing polygons before transferring the model to substance for texture work.
