Ever considered creating a full 3D environment? The skills taught in this beginner modeling course will get you up to speed in creating a scene that would render quickly for animation or interactively in a game engine running smoothly even on mobile hardware

INSTRUCTOR

Martin Turner has created environments for every games platform from PS4, PC and WiiU through to handhelds such as mobiles and the Nintendo DS to name just a few.

Martin is going to start pretty slow, and since there are many ways to do the same thing, and many places to find the same tool, he’ll be building up that knowledge quite naturally, and in many cases explaining why and when to use one location or method over another.

All we need is a copy of Blender and a basic knowledge of getting around the interface (see resources below) and then Martin will take you through the rest!

Alt E for a more complete extrude menu e.g. along vertex normals

Part 5 – 26:08 Central Column

Ctrl R to cut a loop across a ring of edges.

Page up or middle mouse to add more loops with Ctrl R.

Part 6 – 35:37 Top Objects

Decluttering the scene using M to move objects between Layers, the array modifier, Ctrl P to parent and some tips about changing values on multiple objects at the same time.

Using the Array modifier, how to change values on more than one object at the same time.

Part 7 – 45:09 Ring Section

F6, shrink fatten tool alt S, Using Median snapping instead of closest

Part 8 – 52:37 Machine Arm

Using the 3d cursor as a pivot point.

Bridging Edge Loops. Using Ctrl M to mirror, showing the problem with backface culling, fixing with Ctrl N. Solving problems with overlapping duplicate geometry by merging with Remove doubles

Part 9 – 1:11:08 Machine Arm Attachment.

Applying the transformations. Basic posing. Rotation snapping and just for fun 😉 calculating exactly where to place things with a little arithmetic.

END.
