Model and Texture a Cannon with Maya and Substance Painter

Model and Texture a Cannon with Maya and Substance Painter

In this course we will create a realistic looking ship cannon that is textured and game-ready. For this we will use Maya, ZBrush, UV Layout and Substance Painter. To start things off, we will build a basemesh in Maya to use it later in ZBrush. In ZBrush we will cover how to create some nice and convincing metal and wood surfaces. After that, we will learn how to generate in ColorID map in ZBrush. With the high poly model and the generated maps, we now can modify our basemesh to use it as Lowpoly. After we have created the low poly object, we will use UVLayout to generate UV's for it. After that, we will bake the low poly in Substance Painter and generate color and textures. The last part will cover rendering in Iray to create some portfolio shots.
