WHATYOUAREGOINGTODO IN SUBSTANCE PAINTER:

Creating textures for video games is an art form in its own right. Simply pulling assets from an online store, and dropping them into an off the shelf game engine isn't enough in today's competitive industry. You need fundamental art skills, and if you want to stand out from the crowd, you need to create your own art, and present your skills to potential clients / employers.

With 30 years of game development experience in art and design, I will show you how to create your own game ready textures from scratch. You will begin with the basics within Substance Painter, and move onto texturing a stunning 3D game environment presented in Unity. I WILL SUPPLY ALL THE MODELS for the course to remove any anxiety of modelling the assets first so you can focus solely on texture creation. You WILL NOT be using library assets.

DESIGN/ STORY / EMOTION:

Creating video game art is at the heart of this course, but creating visuals is not just about the art, it's also about the ideas and the design that spawn the art. The story you can tell through visual interpretation and the emotion your scene can invoke through textures and lighting, is also key to creating a successful scene. I will show you techniques on how you can convey this in your texture work, lighting and your scene layout.

THE TECHNICALSTUFF:

We'll create PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures in Substance Painter, and drop them into Unity where we'll build the scene using the textures you have created. I will then take you through lighting in Unity and give you thorough understanding of how it works and how to set it up, and show you how to create stunning portfolio shots from within Unity and Substance Painter.

This course is perfect for anybody seriously wishing to pursue a career as a texture / environment artist in the games industry and would like to follow the process of texturing an entire scene with varying materials and techniques.

It's suitable for beginners to Intermediate levels. The more advanced artists may find that you're going over old ground in some areas, but it can still be a worthy refresher course. Over time, the course will get regular updates and keep on trend with industry techniques and standards. New content will also be added in the future.

This IS NOT a modelling or character animation course. These are very specific disciplines within the games industry, and here we are primarily focusing on highly detailed, texture creation for environments.

• If you're interested in becoming a texturing Ninja in the video games industry while using all the latest industry standard tools and techniques, then this course is for you.
