Originally I wanted to cover UV mapping and baking in this video as well but I quickly realized that low polygon modeling deserves its own volume!
In these videos Ill go over how to make optimized meshes that will work well for UV lay out deformation and normal map bakes. Although specific software usage is not discussed the foundation skills detailed here can be applied anywhere.
Also included is a free generic female model complete with UVs in .obj format. The model is ~3.5k triangles and demonstrates many of the ideas discussed. Prerequisites:
General knowledge of polygon modeling. Having a high resolution source mesh ready to retopologize would also be useful.

One comment on “CGCircuit Lesson – 3D Character Art for Games III”
I’d hope some at least some folks would at least buy the series afterwards. People claim that they do but that’s way too often bullshit and we all know it. I mean, these are like $7 USD each and Hai purposely tried to keep them affordable for folks–folks like us. Their profit are incentive that goes towards encouraging him to take time to make more future videos. Just as a fan of Hai, support the guy, if you can.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
