Mach 5 Game Asset Creation

"All we need is zbrush and substance" *sees self out in blender*

[@emeraldeelentertainment8988]

You can apply this technique to Blender too. I've done so before. :)

[@zero-gj4ql]

Theres free trials, and imo id rather learn the industry standard softwares so i can have a chance of working in the industry

[@ParkingLotStudioGames]

Hell nah mate indie work is much better, corpos gonna suck the creativity out of you for miserable wages and inhuman work conditions

[@PAINTEDBYNURGLE]

@@ParkingLotStudioGames Indie doesnt mean you dont use the industry standards

[@mmkh_art]

Great tutorial! Using Decimation Master, assigning polygroups to the separate areas and using UV Master are things that would speed up my workflow considerably when doing prop modelling! Thank you :)

[@wei55_]

Great workflow, perfect for props. I’ll give this a try, thanks for sharing.

[@pawpotsRS]

IMO this is best to do when doing some organic thing like trees, rocks or same appreciated and very well explained. you get my SUB!

[@harrysanders818]

This is ridiculously and insanely cool! :) Thanks for sharing. I cant wait to try this out. Fantastic.

[@philmehrart]

Hey Dan, good stuff. Was a bit dubious at first and most likely wouldn't use this method for a final game res mesh, but for prototyping seems very effective.

[@mordicai4296]

Awesome video! Straight to the point and super helpful. I just built a new computer, and am waiting on my 22hd to get in. Can't wait to jump in!

[@dennou2012]

Wonderful! More of this please :) many thanks for taking your time to make this video!

[@roey218]

Hi there, Thanks for the great info (: Did you use the default baking settings in substance?

[@myxsys]

Thanks for sharing. Will implement this in my workflow

[@Sheddy29]

This is best video EVER!!!!!!

[@karleclaire]

This is just what I need. Thanks a lot!

[@ahsanahmed2399]

a very great tutorial!! Simple. retopo is quite a difficult thing to do when it comes to animation.

[@moejahi3d3]

Thanks!! So simpel.. so clean. Awesome work.subbed and will def look at your paid tutorials.

[@AM_3DARTIST]

AMAZING THANK YOU VERY MUCH !!!!

[@dszarts]

That was informative....thanks...but what about buildings?

[@staticbeepbeep]

Great tutorials, few of them tho. Not sure if I'm happy or sad.

[@tradeandmagicofficial2563]

The geometry resulting from decimation isn't ideal, meaby for props it can be acceptable but for characters a Maya retopo with correct edge loops for rigging is a must.

[@vengadorsky]

You don't say...

[@danylbekhoucha6180]

The errors with decimation master don't happen with Blender's decimation modifier algorithm. Also you could use Blender's game asset generator it does everything you show here in one click (union, decimation, unfold half, bake, use your material colors, save the maps, setup a lighting): kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3fcaJppnJuoeas

[@philmehrart]

Blender has a decimation master? holy moly

[@tradeandmagicofficial2563]

Blender isn't in the workflow of game industry, so learn it would be a waste of time for now.

[@danylbekhoucha6180]

You don't need to learn it, you can make your game asset in another software, then you open it in Blender and you click Generate asset: kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y3fcaJppnJuoeas

[@slickdude2]

is this still the proper way ? Ive seen some people go zbrush > 3dcoat for re-tropology -> substance ? or is it all preference ? I kinda like using less programs

[@blinkythemouse]

Henry this is a pretty recent ish workflow. Meant for speed more than anything. Retopoing is better functionally. But I like this for simplicity.

[@blinkythemouse]

Oh and I do use substance as well here

[@slickdude2]

Dan John Cox yeah I saw was just wondering why no 3rd program for topology. a lot of people use 3d coat . But as a beginner this seems nice and effective using only 2 . maybe down the road I'll notice the need for 3d coat

[@IGarrettI]

Henry simply time. This method strikes at time, however you sacrifice quality and ability to animate it. If you retopo by hand you get bigger control over uvs and topology, giving you better quality and ability to animate the mesh; however it takes more time. So pick, quality or save time

[@LHewittc]

nice workflow !!!!

[@ogarga666]

amazing tutorial, thanks!

[@CuriousScribbles]

You are a legit boss. Wow

[@ЕвгенийШахмин-ш2л]

You are superior!!! But why you don't use zremesher after decimation

[@blinkythemouse]

haha thanks! Zremesher adds way more geometry than is needed for game development. And since this mesh will not be rigged for animation/deformations theres no reason to have the kind of geo that zremesher makes, plus zremesher tends to break the silhouette more which is usually compensated for by adding displacement maps, but we cant do that for games. Does that explain it?

[@ЕвгенийШахмин-ш2л]

Thank you)). Your course "intro to dota 2 workshop" is awersome!!

[@morphtek]

aand there goes the deal breaker ,but your workflow is pretty similar to any that the pros use ,you just need to instead of using decimation to get low poly use zremesher and then spend like 5 minutes even less to use the reprojection and then another zremesh and maybe even retopo from that zremeshed mesh and you spend 10 minutes more and get much more managable mesh that can be used for rigs and animation with decent polycount

[@blinkythemouse]

Yup, those techniques work as well but my point here was to do the fastest/simplest workflow. Zremesher is great but often creates way more insane loops than I prefer, causing cleanup to actually be a shocking headache and does a really bad job at very very low remesh options on more complex meshes. More importantly it loses the silhouette which means more cleanup. This option doesn't require that. However, I agree, you cannot animate these meshes, and in those situations zremesher would be a better choice.

[@geraltrivia2950]

wow, hope you get many subscriber, this tutorial is great!!!

[@geraltrivia2950]

just one question, what is the mesh that you texture, the low or the high?

[@blinkythemouse]

Thanks for the kind words! I'm only texturing the low here. You can polypaint the high poly but thats about the only way that folks texture a high poly these days for the most part. Usually easier to texture only the low.

[@r1icogaming938]

Great video, do you know how to use Unreal Engine?

[@blinkythemouse]

yup!

[@r1icogaming938]

I'm trying to work in 2 a huge proyect's I have on mind for steam. I'm an Industrial Designer, renderer and arquitect. I'm not familiar with programming and I'm looking for talented programmers. I'm wondering if we could get in touch and work in this proyects, they have a lot of potential.

[@TrendingTopicsTalks]

hay den can you share all things about PBR pipeline A to Z if possible share with the example

[@kdci8300]

why my id mask not same as yours

[@Gusando]

thanks great tip

[@AlbertoRoca3D]

Thanks a lot for sharing! You work ina really practical way!

[@whitevilbg]

So let me get this straight you Dynamesh to object, remove some unneeded details until you feel its Ok and then just Decimate it ? And send it to substance painter and bake maps onto the high poly.

[@blinkythemouse]

Yup! that's exactly the process

[@bluethumbbuttoneek9465]

Eh just press ctrl w to polygroup visible...
