Blender 3D Asset Creation for the Metaverse

By: Vinicius Machado Venâncio

Overview of this book

If you are familiar with modeling, this book will help you discover a practical and efficient workflow designed to accelerate your asset creation process for use in multiple projects, including games and the metaverse. Complete with shortcuts and tips on how to speed up the process, this book guides you in modeling assets and characters with the help of references. You’ll learn how to optimize the modeled asset for maximum rendering performance within game engines and the metaverse. Next, you’ll get to grips with unwrapping the 3D model for texturing and explore multiple texturing techniques to breathe life into your 3D models. Finally, you’ll integrate the 3D model to work seamlessly across a myriad of programs and game engines. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills to efficiently create any type of 3D asset from scratch for use in renders, animations, or immersive gaming experiences.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered how to model an inorganic asset from scratch, as well as learning about most of the main inorganic modeling tools available by default in Blender and where to add the different LODs in an additive way. This is the first part of creating any 3D model and sets the LOD of the next steps, such as texturing.

In the next chapter, we will cover optimizing our model to make it lighter in terms of geometry so that we can render it more easily.
