Substance Painter - Baking & Texturing
1. Mech Modeling - S01E01
23 jul 2017

2. Mech Modeling - S01E02
23 jul 2017
20 minuten
We continue to work on the leg and just as with the foot before already apply our chamfer modifer and turbosmooth to it to get an early impression of how our high poly will look later on. We also make use of a first Boolean operation.
3. Mech Modeling - S01E03
23 jul 2017

We are getting into the crucial phase where we need to make decisions about which parts to share on our texture and which to keep unique.
28. Mech Modeling - S01E28
23 jul 2017
18 minuten
We make use of the packing tools that Max comes with as we pack together our two main material ID's. One for the body of the mech, the other for all the attachments to it.
29. Mech Modeling - S01E29
23 jul 2017
22 minuten
We use textools to apply smoothing groups per UV island which is crucial for our later bake. We also start applying a naming convention to our individual parts so that it will bake out the right way in Substance Painter later on.
30. Mech Modeling - S01E30
23 jul 2017
16 minuten
We carry on with more naming convention and encounter some flipped faces that requires us to make use of reset x form.

33. Mech Modeling - S01E33

We carry on with more high poly details. The more we add now the less work we have adding details in Painter and the better it will look on our normal map later on.
34. Mech Modeling - S01E34

13 minuten
We are done with the 3DS Max part of the tutorial and start exporting our files for Substance Painter where we will bake and texture everything.
1. Mech Texturing - S02E01
23 jul 2017
20 minuten
We take a good look at the fundamentals of Substance Painter and start baking out our maps. We also make use of Substance Share and Substance Source to acquire some extra files that will help us.
2. Mech Texturing - S02E02
23 jul 2017

3. Mech Texturing - S02E03
23 jul 2017
19 minuten
We are adding glow to some parts of the mech as well as making use of procedural textures to get swirly effects on our cables. We also start to add a bit of wear and tear to our mech already.

Over deze serie

Create a battle mech!


Do you think about a career in the video game industry as a 3D Artist and happen to like Battle Mechs? Then this tutorial might be perfect for you. Follow along as this comprehensive 15 hour+ long course as we model, unwrap, bake and texture a battle mech to current video game standards. Every step is documented without fast forwarding. At the end of the free part you have the option to learn even more with the extended edition in which we go over 10 more triple A quality PBR textures.

3Ds Max - Modeling

The modeling part covers the scene setup followed by the low and high-poly modeling in which we make use of advanced actions, modifiers and tools to help us create the battle mech. After the modeling process we will jump straight into the UVW Editor and focus on the importance of an optimized UV-Layout to get the maximum out of our later texture.

Substance Painter - Texturing

In the Substance Painter part we will then bake our normal map as well as other important support maps. Right after that you will learn how to make an ultra realistic texture for our mech. Learn how to create our base layer materials and how to use procedural textures, masks and generators to form up the wear and tear on our mech resulting in a photo realistic appearance. You will also get to know the latest tools that Substance Painter currently has to offer. Add additonal normal map with curvature and AO information and learn how to add text as well as creating an almost infinite amount of different looks and styles by switching out our base layers.

What are the requirements?

It is recommended to follow the course with the same software we use throughout the tutorial:
3Ds Max 2017 (can be 2016 and 2015 too) and Substance Painter 2 or the latest 2017 installement of Substance Painter.

Who is the target audience?

This tutorial is aimed at beginners as well as intermediate.
I try to avoid heavy use of shortcuts as much as I can during the lesson so that you can see which actions I use.

What do I get from this course?

  • 15 hours of fully documented and commented HD video content.
  • Game industry ready knowledge in modeling, unwrapping and texturing.
  • Essential reference images.
  • Final high-poly and low-poly mech for those that just want to follow the texturing part.
