EVERYTHING You Need To Get Started Texturing Large Game Assets

I will introduce you to the idea of modeling to existing textures, ways we can adjust our UVs to span large surfaces, normal map blending, z up shaders, vertex painting, UE5 material layers and UV masks, decals, and some master materials that combine many aspects of each.
By the end of the tutorial, you should have a good idea of which shader type to use for specific assets, and have a good idea of which terms to look further into for your specific projects. While this video uses Unreal Engine and Blender, these techniques apply to all programs used for game art (Maya, Max, Unity, etc). Thanks all for watching ^__^

I'm not sure beginners watching this will realize how insanely valuable this video is. This is a fucking gold mine of information that I know from experience is definitely not being taught in art schools. Great stuff dude!
-
Holy moly - this should serve as the prime example of how tutorials should be made. Context, various methods, files provided, links to learn more on other things.
-
Had to reupload this since the first version was set at 360p for over 5 hours. That first version got a lot of love so thanks for that, hope this video can be of some use to newer artists ^__^
-
Telling the story of increasing complexity by solving one problem leading into the next makes this some of the best env art tuition on youtube, thank you for your generosity putting these together ❤
-
I've learned so much on youtube and this is like the holy grail of overview content. About to binge your whole channel, thank you.
-
I'm just starting my personal project using Unreal Engine, and I can't tell you how helpful your videos are. Thank you for your hard work. really thanks.
-
Please more of this! Wow... I've been doing enviorment work for a few months now and no other video has given me near this much important info!
-
Holy shit, this is the kind of info I've wanted longer than I can even remember. Thank you so much!! Seriously. I can't express enough how useful this is. I've always felt like this stuff is locked behind a top secret game dev vault, and I usually just kind of fumble through doing things without ever getting quite what I want out of materials until I get frustrated enough to quit trying only to try again and fail again later on. So again, thank you.
-
Dylan this is absolute gold - thank you so much. All these methods explained succinctly and expertly. Thanks a million mate - the work that goes into this and all your other vids/tutorials is very much appreciated! 🙂

Once more, a big thank you Dylan! This is so valuable. I'm definitely going to pick it up on your store so I can study the shaders.

What you, sir, are doing here is just PURE GOLD. I mean, this is SO useful and so well explained, this will save sooo much time for junior modelers and broaden their eyes on the game pipelines. Thank you so much for such good content.
