COURSE DESCRIPTION
Creating High Poly Models 100% in Zbrush.
We'll guide you on creating high-poly models entirely within ZBrush, ensuring that you maintain clean topology for future optimizations while achieving detailed and intricate designs.
Low Poly & UV Unwrapping.
You'll learn the process of converting your high-poly models into low-poly versions and creating a clean and optimized UV unwrap inside 3DS Max. This step is essential for efficient modeling and texturing in your projects.
Baking & Texturing.
Once all preparations are complete, we will guide you through the process of baking your high-poly model onto your low-poly model and creating the final stylized textures using Substance Painter. This stage is crucial for achieving the desired visual style and quality in your assets.
Final Portfolio renders.
To conclude, we will demonstrate how to present your asset in the best possible light by setting it up in Marmoset Toolbag. We will also cover dramatic lighting techniques to emphasize the shapes and details of your model, enhancing its overall presentation.

Zbrush, 3ds Max, Substance Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag.
All the modeling and low poly will be done in Zbrush, however, the techniques used are universal and can be replicated in any other 3d modeling package. The textures will be created using Substance Painter and previewed in Marmoset Toolbag 3.
In this course, you will learn everything you need to know to create the final results that you see in the images and trailers. Next to this, the same techniques can be applied to almost any type of environment.
9+ HOURS!
We will start by going over our reference and then we dive right in and create the base of the knife high poly with zmodeler. Then we will detail it, create our low poly and finish everything up in Zbrush. After that, we will continue to 3ds max to create the UV unwrap and smoothing groups.
Then, we will bake in marmoset all the pieces separately to achieve a clean result.
Next, we will proceed to Substance Painter where we will create stylized textures mostly using the output from the bakes.
And lastly, we will do a cool presentation in marmoset for our portfolios using dramatic lighting to accentuate the shapes of our model!
