Prop Art Mentorship
With Hannah Watts | Senior Prop Artist
Currently on Break - Check Back Soon!
Mentorship Info
This month long mentorship will take artists along the process of realistic prop creation for AAA games and applications, with a particular focus on believable texturing.
The artist can enter the mentorship with an idea already in mind, or the Mentor can guide the artist in picking an interesting subject and collating reference to get started. After creating blockouts, they will proceed on to modelling out the prop with the Mentor helping to highlight efficient modelling techniques and good practices. The texturing section of the mentorship will cover how to further analyse your reference, and techniques to recreate surfaces and varying degrees of wear.
The final outcome for the end of the mentorship is a complete, game-ready prop that can be dropped into your game engine or choice, or other real-time renderers. Using any of the Marmoset Toolbag suites, the artist will then be coached in presenting their final asset in a flattering and eye catching manner for their portfolio.
