I started on my creative journey about 40 years ago as a musician. Through the decades, I have picked up a wide variety of skills, with over 20 years as an accomplished website developer, programmer, graphics artist, photographer, journalist, published author, video game developer, 3D modeler and animator!
I have done lots of work for a wide variety of business over the years. In the last decade, I have taken to Unity for game development with six games published on Steam so far. I'm very excited to be a full time game developer, and equally pleased to pass down some of my knowledge to you!
My friends describe me as a highly driven individual with a wide range of skills, capable of doing anything. I describe myself as curious, intuitive and above all.. honest.

Sim. curso muito bom e muito completo. Apenas é um pouco tediosoas vezes em alguns videos mais longos.
By Rey B on 10/26/2025
This Udemy course was created for game development beginners who need to understand how to use both Blender and Unity. Going through this tutorial before other Unity tutorials is recommended because it answers a lot of questions about how to make assets in Blender and import them into Unity. I hope the author creates more courses with intermediate to advanced techniques, such as rigging models, animating them, and exporting them to Unity.
