"Create Your Own Game CharactersLearning to create your own game characters opens the door for you to create the incredible video games you've always dreamed of. Blender is free to download and use for any purpose and has proven itself to be a powerful tool for independent and commercial projects all over the world.Content and OverviewIn this Intermediate Blender course you’ll create a game character from the first polygon to the final controllable character in the Unity game engine. Throughout the course you’ll learn about the Blender modeling, texturing, rigging, and animation tools. You’ll learn the techniques and strategies needed to tackle a complex project such as this, so you can bring your own characters to life.In the first section we will create a character using the sculpting tools in Blender. We will model a base mesh using box modeling techniques, and then we will use the Multiresolution modifier in Blender to create high-resolution detail on the character. We will then use the Blender retopology tools, the Grease Pencil and the BSurfaces tools, to create a low resolution version of our high-resolution sculpt. And we will bake Normal and Ambient Occlusion maps in Blender, from the hi-res sculpt to the low-poly mesh. We will look at some of the unique issues regarding UV mapping a character in Blender. We will use the UV mapping tools in Blender to create an organized UV map that can be exported to external paint programs like Photoshop or GIMP for texturing.
