Course Description

Are you thinking about a 3D artist career in the video game industry? This tutorial will help you understand and apply all aspects of creating high quality game art. Learn 3Ds Max with the Basics & Beyond Chapter and how to model and unwrap efficiently in the following hours featuring the AKM. Create textures as close to photo realism as possible with Substance Painter and make the portfolio shine by creating renders with Marmoset Toolbag 2. At the end we are going to post process those renders in Photoshop to get that extra edge out of it. This Course has it all.

Software used: 3Ds Max 2016, Photoshop, Substance Painter and Marmoset Toolbag 2.

Important: the modeling part of the tutorial makes heavy use of the "chamfer" modifier which is only available in 3Ds Max 2015 and 2016. If you have an older version of 3Ds Max you can instead google for a third party modifier called "quad chamfer".

some of the keybins / hotkeys in his file don't work

By Jason Abete on 9/7/2021

Before using the keyboard short cuts he should show where the buttons are on screen and even use those buttons from time to time just to reinforce where they are and explain what they do. He should also explain why he does some of the things he does because there are multiple ways of doing things.

Really like it. It's amazing how Tim doesn't take any breath, he is unstoppeble and precise in terms of words and technics.

By Andre Bertozzo on 7/19/2019

Recomendo muito este curso, ele aborda tudo que um intermediário em modelagem precisa saber, ou até mesmo um iniciante, são lições bem atualizadas para o mercado de modelagem para jogos. compre e você não irá se arrepender! I highly recommend this course, it covers everything that a 3D artist needs to know, or even a beginner, these tutorials are up-to-date lessons for the 3d gaming market. buy it and you will not regret it!

Really great in explain skills or reasons.

By Robert Hotton on 4/11/2016

Great course! I found it quite challenging, but I feel like I've learnt a lot. Tim really goes into incredible detail with both the model and the texturing phases, but be warned... he's clearly a very talented modeller, but he moves along at lightning speed!
