Paint a mushroom texture by applying a base color and larger details, then refine with smaller details, using a drawing tablet to vary brush strength and masking with symmetry.
Create trunk and branch materials, assign textures, and adjust the UV map to orient branch textures. Use quick selection, emission shaders, and island-mode UV edits to optimize unwrapping.
In Blender, create a textured tree by adjusting branch materials with transparent and mix shaders, preview shading, then duplicate to build LOD versions and export as FBX for Unity.
Unwrap the house into a uv map by splitting into a quarter and using a mirror modifier, sharing islands for the door to speed painting and improve texture quality.
Import the mushroom from the assets folder into Unity, adjust the Elodie group for LOD versions, create a prefab, and apply baked light maps with a dedicated mushroom material.
Import the house as a prefab, apply a house material with its texture, add a box collider, set static, enable light map generation, and place the prefab in game world.

Learn how to create game assets in Blender that you can use to build your very own 3D game world in Unity! In the course, you get to make four low poly assets from start to finish, which are a mushroom, a rock, a tree, and a house.
The game asset creation workflow consists of the following steps:
3D modeling the shape of an asset
unwrapping the three-dimensional shape into a two-dimensional UV map
painting a texture on the surface of the 3D model
creating level of detail (LOD) versions of the model to optimize it for a game
At the end of the course, all assets will be taken to the Unity game engine, where they are made game-ready by adding the necessary components for them and saving them as prefabs. With these prefabs, you can start building your game world. The game assets made in the course will also work on other game engines, such as the Unreal Engine.
This course is best suited for those who already have at least a little bit of experience with Blender. However, if you are a beginner who is really motivated to learn, this course is great for you as well.
