Art for Games Specialization

In this beginner focused specialization we will show you the essentials of 2d and 3d game art production as well as concept art for games and current gen game art workflow.

By the end of the Specialization, you will have a thorough knowledge of the creation of high-quality game art assets. Through these courses, you will be using Maya, Unity, Photoshop, Sketchup, ZBrush, Marmoset Toolbag, and Substance Painter.
WHAT YOU WILL LEARN
- Model accurate block-in, mid poly meshes
- Create high poly models with a real world level of accuracy
- Create game-ready low poly meshes for a real-time environment
