Texturing Models for Videogames in 2020|Retop, UVs & Baking

Finish the hand by refining geometry across fingers and wrist, adding triangles and subdividing loops to support game-ready texturing.

Align vertex loops to match the dress and sleeves, then join the arms to the body, refining topology with edge loop adjustments to improve the tunic’s silhouette.

Finish the scarf by extruding and shaping geometry, using shrinkwrap and subdivision surface modifiers, then collapse loops and optimize topology before joining the scarf to the body.

Beginning the headpiece, this lesson guides retopology for a game hat by building low-poly geometry with planes, snapping vertices along the face, and extruding while avoiding unnecessary slots.

Finish the headpiece by closing the flat surface, join all pieces into a single mesh, and prepare accessories in the next video before final assembly.

Learn to fix shading on the bottom of the cane by using smoothing groups, marking sharp edges, and adjusting normals, then refine topology with extra geometry, loops, and extrusion.

Create cane accessories by modeling leaf-like pendants using planes, shrinkwrap, bridging, and extruding stems, then refine with normals, grid fill, and extra objects to add rounded details.

Merge the body with accessories (shoulder pads, feathers) into a single Blender mesh, keep hands separate for mirrored symmetry, and optimize geometry by collapsing loops to meet a 15,000-triangle budget.

Merge the horns with the headpiece, align geometry, and simplify by collapsing edge loops and deleting unnecessary vertices to reduce triangles toward the 15,000 target.

Join the headpiece to the body by merging vertices and refining topology. Create and adjust geometry with cuts, triangles, and subdivisions to ensure a seamless, well-formed connection.
