Stylized Texturing For Videogames With Blender

Learn everything you need to create stylized textures and materials with the Blender tools

What you'll learn
The complete stylized texturing workflow for videogames, animation or 3D illustration.
The use of the texture paint mode in Blender and the use of the shader nodes.
A lot of techniques to create the materials for any kind of stylized model.
How to bake the final texture maps to export the materials and use them in any rendering. or videogame engine
How to configure the scene and the lighting to create professional quality renders with Marmoset Toolbag.
How to study references to understand and adapt to be able to create your own materials.
Requirements
It is recommended to have knowledge of the basic functions of Blender, however if you do not have this knowledge I will provide you with the necessary material so that you can get up to date.
In order to take advantage of the full potential of the texture paint mode, it is recommended to take the course with a pen tablet.
You will need an updated version of Blender which you can download for free.
We will use Marmoset Toolbag for bakes and rendering, if you don't have it you can use the free trial version offered by the software.
