Beginning 3D Game Assets Development Pipeline
Apress (Verlag)
978-1-4842-7195-7 (ISBN)
The book begins with an overall look at the production of game development and the different roles in creating assets. Then, starting with Maya, you learn how to start with a concept and take it through the entire production pipeline: base mesh, UV mapping, high poly, texturing, rigging, and animation. You will be working on one asset project throughout the entire book to understand how one phase leads to the next one. Lastly, you will cover asset placement and integration into Unity.
What You Will Learn
Build a thorough knowledge of the 3D game asset production workflow
Understand how each phase leads up to the next one
Know how 3D assets are implemented into Unity
Texture, rig, and animate the 3D model
Export and import the 3D asset or model
Understand the iterative design process
Who This Book Is For
3D artists, from beginners to specialists, who are interested in learning the 3D production pipeline of game assets as a whole
