Objective

- You learn the fundamentals of ZBrush's sculpting tools to create detailed 3D models.
- You learn how to apply realistic textures with Substance Painter.
- You develop the ability to paint directly onto 3D models in ZBrush.
- You learn how to process photo scanned 3D models.
- You integrate textured models into game engines and demonstrate a professional 3D asset creation workflow.

Content

- How do you navigate and customize the interfaces of ZBrush and Substance Painter for an efficient sculpting and texturing workflow?
- How can you create and refine complex 3D geometries using ZBrush's advanced sculpting techniques and tools?
- How do you apply detailed textures and material effects in Substance Painter to bring your 3D models to life?
- How to integrate and render your sculpted and textured models in game engine for real-time use?

Learning route based on a working week
You will attend teaching and guidance sessions as specified in the schedule. Your study routine is determined by the scheduled group sessions and by the self-study assignments.

Learning route that accelerates the studies
If you have acquired prior learning in the subject (fully/partially), contact the teacher in charge prior the course to discuss whether you have the competence required and what are the methods of demonstrating that competence. If you are unable to attend all the classes due to other courses, you are required to complete the learning assignments independently.

Work-based learning route
You need to contact the course teacher prior the course to agree on development assignments that you will perform at your work place. You are required to prove your learning both in theory and practice by giving a presentation at Game Design show and tell day.

TKI ja työelämäyhteistyö

The focus of the course is on learning the tools. If suitable topics are found, RDI co-operation is possible.
