This class will go over how to use Substance Painter as a tool for texturing game characters. We’ll go over good practices on how to UV a character, bake required maps inside the substance, and set up a scene.

We will also go over how to make textured props, cloths, skin for a character’s face and body (all required mesh provided).

By the end of this class, students will have their textured assets presented inside their engine of choice.
