What you'll learn

Being able to model detailed architecture with realistic textures really enhances the quality of your games. Throughout this course, Modeling and Texturing a Next-gen Building for Games in 3ds Max, you'll cover the modeling and texturing of a next-gen building in 3ds Max and Quixel. You'll start by using a reference photo to create a texture sheet and learning how to use the grid to make the modular pieces. You'll then go into modeling and making your physically-based shaders, as well as create the normal maps with Quixel's NDO. Finally, you'll light and preview your model and textures in Marmoset Toolbag. By the end of this course, you'll know how to use the modeling and texturing tools in 3ds Max so that you can create fantastic architecture for the world of any game. Software required: 3ds Max 2012, Photoshop CC 2015, Quixel SUITE 1.8, Marmoset Toolbag 2.
