Game Character Creation with Blender and Unity - Chris Totten

Книга "Создание игровых персонажей с помощью Blender и Unity" – это полное руководство по созданию реалистичных игровых персонажей с помощью двух мощных инструментов. Для создания игровых персонажей необходимо объединение нескольких навыков. В этой книге авторы научат создавать реалистичные игровые объекты с помощью открытого 3D-приложения Blender и бесплатного игрового движка Unity. Книга представляет пошаговый подход к моделированию, текстурированию и анимации персонажей с помощью популярного программного обеспечения Blender, с акцентом на моделирование с низким количеством полигонов и умению использовать скульптуру и текстуры. Также демонстрируется, как привести персонажей в игровой движок Unity. Создание игр является популярным и продуктивным занятием как для любителей, так и для профессиональных разработчиков; данное руководство объединяет два эффективных инструмента, которые упрощают и улучшают процесс создания игр. Художники, которые знакомы с Blender или другими 3D-приложениями, но не имеют опыта работы с рабочим процессом создания игр, найдут в этой книге важные знания, которых у них не хватает. Руководство предоставляет полное пошаговое руководство по созданию игрового персонажа, включая моделирование, UV-развертку, создание скульптуры, текстурирование, риггинг, анимацию и экспорт. Книга акцентирует внимание на моделировании с низким количеством полигонов для игровых движков и показывает, как привести готового персонажа в игровой движок Unity. Независимо от того, интересуетесь ли вы новым хобби или стремитесь войти в профессиональную область разработки игр, данное руководство предлагает ценные рекомендации, чтобы повысить ваши навыки.

Книга знакомит читателя с процессом создания персонажей для компьютерных игр с помощью программного обеспечения Blender и Unity. Автор подробно рассказывает об этапах работы, которые включают в себя моделирование, скульптинг, текстуру и риггинг, а также демонстрирует, как перенести модель персонажа в игровой движок Unity. Книга будет полезна как новичкам, так и профессионалам в области разработки игр.

Game Character Creation With Blender And Unity is a complete guide for creating usable and realistic gaming characters using two popular tools: Open Source 3d design software Blender and Free Video Game Engine Unity. Chris Totten teaches those interested or trying to learn about how to build better game characters, or upgrade ones they already have. He explains how each process is done, including the "why and how" behind each one. Artists starting in the 3d industry or students just learning Blender can find a lot of valuable, useful information here. Utility in Studio games is not just being that it drastically increases your character from idea to render-safe model. It also teaches high level rendering practices in general for anyone looking to apply these lessons. In addition it walks through a pretty thorough process in a step by step method, where you can see each step carry over nicely to another application if needed. I personally find things like baking, and choosing quality textures to be excellent ideas to add to my toolkit as I close the gap to working more professionally. Not for the faint of heart if someone is just picking up Blender, there is some reading and math used, however once you get the hang of the basics that gets much easier. The book dives into stages such as modeling, subdividing and cleaning up polys, Materia painting/Texturing and final UV unwrap. It then moves into Rigging which is something totally new to me, so I found that especially interesting and initially quite hard to wrap my head around. Regardless the advice is clear to follow and you do have plenty of handy tips and tricks to try out during development. Once you start to sketch clever variations and bring ever more diverse concepts to life through texturing than it becomes very interesting to see what is possible within those constraints. From a pure design perspective, I felt this was a really well rounded course which didn't put too much texture on a single aspect and dive deeper into one area to push you over the edge. Being able to get all those aspects covered allows you to really screen the strengths and weaknesses in your ideas based on graphically appealing outcomes as well as animated ability. If you are developing a portfolio piece for your own experience, or a future client, seeing a design presentation that can flow from starting idea, through discussion and critique to final prototypes gives you a ton of confidence to tackle the job you are offered. Though I didn't complete this project on my own I would have benefited more and learned more had I had access to the full 20-month course. In this way the result pipeline isn't something you can just pick up on your own as completely. Here I think the extra input would have been beneficial, especially as Unity has it's own caveats and issues you have to workout once in there too which then affecting the final outcome.

A complete guide to creating usable, realistic game characters with two powerful tools Creating viable game characters requires a combination of skills. This book teaches game creators how to create usable, realistic game assets using the power of an open-source 3D application and a free game engine. It presents a step-by-step approach to modeling, texturing, and animating a character using the popular Blender software, with emphasis on low polygon modeling and an eye for using sculpting and textures, and demonstrates how to bring the character into the Unity game engine. Game creation is a popular and productive pursuit for both hobbyists and serious developers; this guide brings together two effective tools to simplify and enhance the process Artists who are familiar with Blender or other 3D software but who lack experience with game development workflow will find this book fills important gaps in their knowledge Provides a complete tutorial on developing a game character, including modeling, UV unwrapping, sculpting, baking displacements, texturing, rigging, animation, and export Emphasizes low polygon modeling for game engines and shows how to bring the finished character into the Unity game engine Whether you're interested in a new hobby or eager to enter the field of professional game development, this book offers valuable guidance to increase your skills.
