*We customize the course outline and content to your specific needs and relevant use cases.
Module 1: Getting started with Blender for game production
- Understanding Blender’s interface, workspaces, navigation, and viewport controls
- Setting up projects, units, scale, collections, and naming conventions
- Using object mode and edit mode effectively
- Organizing scenes and assets for a game production workflow
Module 2: Modeling fundamentals for game assets
- Working with vertices, edges, faces, and core transform tools
- Using extrude, inset, bevel, loop cut, and merge with confidence
- Building simple props from reference using blockout techniques
- Developing clean habits for non destructive and readable modeling
Module 3: Topology and asset structure
- Understanding clean topology for readability, editing, and optimization
- Distinguishing triangles, quads, and n gons in practical game asset work
- Managing shading, normals, smoothing, and supporting edges
- Identifying common topology problems and how to fix them
Module 4: Hard surface and modular asset thinking
- Modeling hard surface props and architectural elements for games
- Reusing repeated forms and working with symmetry and modifiers
- Building modular pieces that fit level design and environment workflows
- Keeping models efficient while preserving visual clarity
Module 5: UV mapping for game assets
- Understanding seams, islands, texel density, and layout logic
- Unwrapping assets so textures behave predictably
- Organizing UV space for single assets and reusable sets
- Avoiding stretching, wasted space, and hard to maintain layouts
Module 6: Materials and visual setup
- Creating simple materials to support look development and review
- Understanding the difference between viewport look and game engine materials
- Assigning material slots and structuring assets for export

Module 7: High poly to low poly thinking
- Distinguishing hero assets, reusable props, and background assets
- Planning detail in a way that supports baking and real time constraints
- Preparing models for normal map baking and surface detail transfer
