Combat Knife 3D Game Asset in Blender and Substance Painter (Udemy.com)

I got this a long time ago, and just finally watched it. It is a bit dated, as it uses older versions of software. For example, it is exporting to Unity 5, which is now many years ago. But the info is good and the workflow is pretty much the same, even though the UI of the software now looks a bit different. All in all a good course

Pretty cool and short tutorial. Especially for a free one. A fine introduction to how to create a game-ready asset in Blender & Substance Painter. I followed the course along in Blender 3. It didn't cause any trouble. The baking was a bit trickier, and I couldn't get the same result on the first try as in the video (I got yellow-colored maps. (Face normals were okay, though.). These values worked fine for me in Blender 3. Extrusion: 0.1 Max Ray Distance: 0.3 (Everything else was the same.) Thanks for sharing it for free! :)

Little outdated according to current Blender versioning + it is little boring, but besides that you can still make a cool knife using this tutorial and I believe it is for free

Chris' tutorials are flawless. He's a natural teacher, the clarity with which he presents information is unrivaled and as a result what you learn stays with you. I already took his and Lee's Blender Encyclopedia course, then this and already bought a Guitar modeling course. This tutorial also got me excited for Substance Painter's capabilities. Go get whatever has Chris Plush name on it!

I took this course mostly to see how the instructor was as I wanted the Blender Encyclopaedia, as you can see from the 5 stars I got that too :) Very well structured, perhaps a bit fast for total beginner but still you can drop the playback speed. I have been using Blender now for a while but there are some item I never had to model so I have to say this was interesting for myself too! I did not do the Substance part as I now use MASK TOOL which allows pretty much the same (if you are familiar with nodes) all in Blender. Great course and a very good tutor.

Video quality and audio quality are amazing, the explanations were great sometimes a little too fast and you can't get any better than free! but my main issue is that a lot of the tools used are nowhere near the current 2.9, After doing a few more courses I came back to this one and did manage to get a lot further than the first time, the whole UV unwrapping section was a pain and still have little understanding in it, but substance painter seems to work the same as it does now meaning I did get a finished product for my knife! thanks for the course. Please do more high poly substance painted artwork for my portfolio.

Teaches all the basics of creating a game asset. I'd say you should have some previous knowledge of navigating what the current Blender version happens to be before you watch this, will make it easier to follow along because you'll already know where things are; they're sometimes different in this older UI. (In case anyone else also encounters this problem with normal map baking in Blender: low poly mesh had to be a bit bigger than the high poly underneath/inside it when both are enabled in the viewport; make sure the two meshes aren't going through each other visibly or it'll show up on the baked image. It took me several tries to get this right and the map looking correct.) I did wish something other than Substance was used for texturing since it's not the most available program, but it does create great looking results, so if you know that you'll be using it, then this course does give you a good basis to get started in it. It would've been even more perfect if it also had a section about importing the asset into a game engine and therefore making it ready to be used, but the course never claimed to do that and everything it did claim to do, it did perfectly! Definitely a valuable course for beginners. I learned a lot of crucial aspects of game asset creation watching this course.

Great course. Things are explained and paced well. The tips and tricks for basic modeling are invaluable in this course. It isn't just basic hotkeys. He teaches some shortcuts that other courses/videos have never taught me. With what I learned, my modeling has already gotten faster! It's almost like a master class. Not everything is explained thoroughly, which is a good thing, so you actually have to use some techniques to get a perfect understanding.

Great course! I'm an intermediate level user of blender and have already learned quite a few new things in the modeling section alone! I just got through the normal map section and it's something I don't feel I ever learned correctly and apparently there's been a few things covered in this course I didn't learn elsewhere that cleared a lot of things up. This course is invaluable to anyone who's interested in making low poly assets for games using blender as this course will give you the specific information to make it as painless as possible.

This is probably my favorite game art course I've ever taken. Everything else revolving substance painter and blender only cover parts of the pipeline, and take longer, while this one organizes it into one great package. From modeling to re topology to baking to texturing, this one is a great foundation. I even wrote a document reiterating the information i learned in this course, it's THAT important for game asset development. This course is a fantastic building block to creating your very own assets in a photo realistic manner.
