Course Description
In this training we will discover the process of creating science fiction assets. We will take as example the creation of a rifle for video game.
This training will allow you to discover a complete workflow and discover features of both software.
This training is divided into 5 chapters that will follow the process of creating the basic forms to texturing and importing into a game engine.
In the first chapter we will watch in depth the specific modeling tools that we will use in Blender, once these notions have been acquired, we will be able to proceed to the modeling of the rifle in chapter two. In chapter 3 we will add details into the model. Chapter 4 will be in Substance painter for texturing, and then we will come back to Blender in Chapter 5 to render the project on both rendering engines Cycles and Eevee. We will also discover how to make a complete set to experiment new forms and We will import our final model on Sketchfab and Unity.
As a bonus in this training you will also find two complete models that have been produced with the same creative techniques, a complete droid and a complete mecha, these models are rigged and textured ready to be used in your projects. I do not put any restrictions into it.
The source files are included in the training and allow you to understand the entire workflowfrom the beginning to the end.

So far I am having a lot of fun with this course and I am learning new and very informative things about creating 3d models more efficiently not only in how fast and intuitively I can make them but also in keeping the polygon count low. The way that this is taught here makes modeling a lot more fun and interactive although this course is pretty much for beginners I am glad I have some previous knowledge in 3d modeling as I've had to do quite a bit of cleanup instructor did not have on his models. Some of the shortcuts he also calls by slightly different names like Cntrl+I which is invert (he says cntrl+Y or Alt+m which is actually just m. Regardless of this I'm really liking the course and having lots of fun modeling along with the instructor!

There are a few words that are difficult to understand due to the accent. For example, the letter R sounds like he's saying air. Cannot select 1080p for video playback. You have to put it on auto and hope it plays at 1080p. This is a Udemy issue. The low poly version of the rifle has too many polygons for the game I'm making. I would prefer guidance to make it lower.

First I just have to say Julien has been one of the quickest teachers on Udemy to respond to questions so far from any course I have done (about 20ish to date). Makes for a great experience. Also, he is very knowledgable and I thoroughly enjoyed the course. I have done a couple of Udemy Blender courses and follow a few YouTubers and found this one of the top instructions so far, going into a lot of detail. I can't remember what level this was targeted at, but would probably say it might be a bit much for absolute beginners. Think if you have some understanding of Blender already you will get the most out of this. Would happily do further training with Julien.

This course is one of the best I ever did about blender, is fast and packed with really quality content. I was going to do just because the substance painter part, since is quite hard for sending from blender without any issue. But this course was beyond the Technics of hard modelling surface are amazing, the render part was really good, and the pack of additional materials in the end just, show me how Julien is quite aware that using the same methods of modelling the rifle, you can make a lot of other cool stuff. I wish i could buy this course again.

Taking this course has improved my 3d modelling skills substantially. It has also increased the speed of my modelling using and is saving me so much time. The course is also structured so that you don't have to follow the instructor exactly to progress. I really enjoy this as I feel like I am learning and applying techniques rather than going step-by-step and just copying the videos. I'm only halfway through section 2 but I feel like I have learn enough to rate this five stars already.

Literally one of the best Blender courses I have taken in a while. The instructor is first rate. If you have the patience and the drive to learn you'll be successful with this course. A beginner with patience can easily get through this course if they take their time. An intermediate will definitely enjoy the pace that is set and all of the topics covered. The course is very comprehensive but engaging every step of the way. Highly recommended for for those who want to learn hard surface modeling for animation and games.
By Alexandru Florea on 2/17/2020
This training is amazing just like The Complete Guide. I love hard surfaces but never known how to approach it, now is clear. It is great also because we get more than an introduction to Substance Painter. And what is even better Julien is answering the questions, not like other courses that I am unable to finish because the teacher doesn't answer. Thank you Julien for making my journey into blender way easier and be sure that if you would make other hard surface modeling courses I would be one of your students.

Курс рекомендую. Автор хорошо объясняет и показывает. Моего английского хватило, но в принципе он вам здесь не пригодится. Что касается материала курса, то метод очень интересный, я такого раньше не видел. Можно создавать, по такому же методу, все что угодно в подобном стиле и не только. Единственный минус, что автор решил сократить время и сделал не ручную развертку, из-за чего получаем модель с косяками. Но он сразу говорит, что нужно делать настоящую развертку как он показывал.

I'm actually impressed with the magic created by free add ons. The way Julien teaches feels like sitting with friends at home. His style of speaking can throw you off a little but look at the screen key captures and enable the captions and you should be good to go. Coming back to the course, making sci fi rifles could not be more easy then seen in this course. I never felt like dropping the course. The concepts behind this course can help you create more original designs. Julien also provides you with his own set 100s of concepts to choose from in blender file. I'll reccomend this to anyone new to Hard surface modeling and with basic knowledge of blender 2.8.

Great course, as soon as I saw this course in French, I could not wait until he released an English version. I think the course is worth it, you will be able to create a nice looking type gun. And the fast carve is certainly a neat way of modeling.
