The tutorial chapters follow the same format. I start with an explanation and theory on a specific topic. The chapter covers the topic, terminology, why you approach things in a certain way, and the tools/workflows you would use. Each chapter ends with live demos of putting that theory into practice.
It will be framed around personal art, mainly using examples from my work and professional experience where relevant.
Software used will include but not be limited to
- Blender
- Zbrush
- Substance Painter/Designer
- Unreal 5
You will also gain access to Pure Ref files, which include further tutorial breakdowns, links, and documentation for valuable resources. I plan to expand on this as I create more chapters for the tutorial.
Based on the popularity and success of this tutorial, I will continue to make the remaining parts. These will cover all elements of environment art creation.
