Learn how to model a low poly hi-tech object using Autodesk 3ds Max. Perform an accurate UV unwrap using the built-in toolset and third-party plugins such as TexTools. Paint a multi-layer texture for advanced shading – today known as PBR material – in UDK, the award-winning Unreal Technology developed by Epic Games.
ABOUT THE COURSE INSTRUCTOR
Mona Taponen, 3D and animation designer from Rovio Entertainment Ltd and Aalto University, Finland, worked on the 3D modeling of the object, starting from the references and planned a proper lowpoly topolgy.
The course is narrated by Luca Deriu from PlaySys, Italy.
Luca has long and international proven experience in lecturing about 3D visualizations and videogame development.
