To create a 3d character, you will learn the principles of spreading UVs for game characters and optimise the model according to the new generation of game engines and bindings. Then bake the texture in Substance Painter and learn to paint the textures. You will learn about painting textures in Substance Painter and using various materials.
In this section you will master techniques for texturing new fabrics, heads and eyes, and how to set up materials such as fabric, plastic and cloth.
