A 6-Week Course on Using Substance Painter to Create Complex Materials for AAA Game Characters
This course will teach you how to create believable and realistic characters in Substance Painter. Throughout the program, we will explore the process of building complex materials from scratch, texturing characters, and focusing on primary, secondary, and tertiary details. You will learn how to paint realistic skin and create the necessary maps to enhance shader development in Marmoset Toolbag. We'll also cover best practices for technical aspects of texture creation for games, including UV map creation and baking high-poly sculpts onto low-poly models.
By the end of this course, students will have completed multiple texturing projects, progressing to the final stages of look development and presentation. The goal is to equip students with the techniques and fundamentals needed to texture AAA game characters effectively.
