Hard Surface Texturing for Games

Learn all the tips and tricks professionals use when they create hard surface textures for games. In this course, we will be focusing on texturing a hovercraft by telling a story with our work. Textures should be able to tell the player the age of an object, what environment it inhabits, and what world it is from. We will also learn how to make the best bakes possible using ID maps, creating Smart Materials, using Emissive channels, etc.
