Introduction 3D modeling is an art form that demands patience, precision, and creativity. To achieve a top-notch 3D model, it's essential to follow various stages, one of the most important being the blocking out process. Discover the value of blocking out, also known as blockmesh or graybox, in the realm of 3D modeling. This technique involves crafting a three-dimensional rough draft of the object or scene to be modeled. By constructing a basic structure using simple geometric shapes and bypassing intricate details or advanced graphic elements, you can focus on the foundational aspects of you ..read more

I share with you my latest work: a 3D game ready model of the legendary Colt Dragoon seen in 1000 western movies! ? ? I used Blender to make both highpoly and lowpoly, Marmoset Toolbag for baking and Substance 3D Painter for texturing. The result is a 3D model optimized for Unity and Unreal Engine, with LOD0 consisting of about 4k triangles and 1 set of PBR textures. ?

The Making of the Hot Dog Cart: Introduction Discover the secrets of my latest 3D Hot Dog Cart model, optimized for both Unity and Unreal game engines. This model was created with a low polygon count in mind and I also added LODs for even better optimization. With 7 unique texture sets, each with its own UV space, the textures are amazing and the resolution is top-notch. The components are separated for easy rigging and animation. The tools I used were: Blender for modeling and unwrapping, with the help of HardOps, BoxCutter, and MeshMachine 3D addons. Marmoset Toolbag was used for baking, and ..read more

Modeling a Banjo with Blende (full process timelapse) Hello friends of Artstaion. Today I am sharing with you my entire timelapse workflow of creating a game asset with Blender, marmoset Toolbag and Substance 3D Painter. ✔️ I start the high poly modeling and create the 3D lowpoly model of the Banjo with Blender.  ✔️ Then the unwrapping phase with and then the baking of the normal map, ambient occlusion and curvature with Marmoset.  ✔️Finally how to texturing with Substance Painter the Banjo, this ancient musical instrument of African origin.  ? This process is what I usually u ..read more

? Create a Realistic Wine Glass with Blender! Hi ArtStation dudes! I'm Francesco Saviano from 3D Skill Up. Today we're going to see how to create a realistic wine glass with Blender. Almost everything around us in real life can be traced back to simpler, more primitive shapes like cubes, cylinders, spheres, etc. With this principle in mind we can begin to model starting from simple shapes and then arrive at increasingly complex and detailed forms. This phase is known as blockout. ?️Let's start with a reference Although in this case a glass is a very simple shape, it is always a good idea to ..read more
