CURRICULUM We’ve split this masterclass into 8 weeks to give you a nice structure to follow. You’re more than welcome to go through it at a completely different pace – do whatever feels comfortable for you. Please note – this isn’t a live course and no feedback is available.

Week 1 – Reference & Blocking Body We’ll analyse the reference and then build a large part of the low poly body. Learn multiple modeling techniques like box modeling, using spline and modifiers.

Week 2- Blocking the Body We’ll continue to refine the low poly body of the rifle. We focus on the scale and position of the pieces of the rifle.

Week 3 – High Poly Body Turning the low poly body into a high poly 3d model. Learn useful hard surface techniques using 3ds Max and ZBrush turning our low poly into a high poly in minutes.

Week 4 – Hand Grip and Additional Pieces Finish off all the rifle modeling, both the high and low poly models. Learn a couple of new techniques, like plane modeling for particularly difficult pieces.

Week 5 – Baking & UVs We start the UV mapping and baking. Learn how to UV unwrap, work with texel density, optimal packing techniques and how to prepare the model for baking. Finally, we’ll bake our model in Marmoset Toolbag 4.

Week 6 – Texturing Learn a lot of different techniques for texture painting using Substance Painter, like setting up our base materials, using smart masks, projection painting, adding dirt and grime and much more.

Week 7 – Scene Setup & Polish We’ll set up our final render scene in Marmoset Toolbag 4 along with general polishing of the textures. Learn how to make the rifle stand out using powerful presentation techniques.

Week 8 – Making the Attachments (bonus) Learn how to apply all the techniques we’ve covered in the masterclass so far to create separate gun attachments, like a scope, handgrip, and laser sight.
