Have you ever wanted to breathe life into your game world through foliage like plants, grass, water lilies and reeds?

• 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation' is very different to any other 3D modeling course out there! Our focus is to create an entire foliage pack completely made in Blender - one of the top open-source and free 3D modeling software out there.

• We will not be using any other software to create all that you see in the thumbnail, except Blender. You will also learn about plant and grass animation, and as an added plus, you will learn about how to integrate foliage into a game engine - Unreal Engine 5.

• This is great because it means you will get to see how we make foliage from scratch and import it into video games. I am sure 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation' will be the one course that you will want to keep handy anytime you need to create variations of foliage.

• Our 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation' top 6:

1.   Creating vegetation from a simple plane and turning it into a 3D foliage (i.e., modeling from 3D plane)

2.   Making use of Blender’s particle system to model foliage including flowers

3.   Learning about optimisation and the importance of low poly modeling to get a best performace out of a dense foliage setup within any scene at the same time as maintaining the stylized visuals of custom painted foliage

4.   Using weight painting techniques to get better control over foliage position

5.   Creating materials for the foliage using UE5 texture customisation and the wind system

6.   Learning how to paint water foliage into a scene and how to get more depth out of its volume, painting plants on top of water, inside the water, and underwater

Now, there are courses out there that can show you how to create grass that reacts to wind, but there is nothing that covers the entire process from flowers and plants to grass, and even water lilies and reeds. 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation' is intended to be the complete guide to creating foliage in Blender.

• Blender: 3D Modeling

'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation’ will see you creating 12 different types of foliage with over 30 variations. We start our journey from a simple cube and we through all the techniques you will need to create flowers and stems. This will include low poly modelling techniques as well as more advanced Blender functions using the Bezier curve functions.

As we progress through 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation', we will be increasing the difficulty of the foliage we are creating. You will also be learning about the most fundamental 3D modelling skills, including how to properly UV plants ready for adding materials to them.

You will be learning about Blender's powerful texture painting workflow. I will be supplying some of my very own custom alpha brushes which you can use in your 3D models and scenes. The texture painting part of 'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation' is huge and has a lot of depth to cover, showing you everything available in Blender. This includes custom brushes, cavity masking, and different map types.

'Blender to Unreal Engine 3D Plants and Vegetation’ will introduce you to particle system setups. This will show you how to populate an area with plants and grass in a natural way, with complete control over placement and smaller variations.
