Hi,

My new Blender course is now available on Gumroad!

Create and Animate a Vehicle with Blender and Substance Painter

In this course you'll learn how to model, texture, rig, and animate a vehicle; and then you'll light and render the scene, and export it to a video file. This course covers every step of the process, from the first polygon to the final render.

We’ll start by blocking in the basic shapes to get a sense of the size and proportion of the various pieces, and how they should fit together. As we refine the model, you’ll learn about Blender’s modeling tools and modifiers, how to stay organized during a large project, and how to plan ahead for rigging and animating the vehicle.

You’ll also learn how to prepare a model in Blender for texturing in Adobe Substance Painter. We’ll go over how to use materials to organize your texture sets, how to bake maps in Substance Painter, and how to use masks and generators to add dirt and wear to your models. We’ll then go over how to configure and export texture maps from Substance Painter and how to apply them to your model in Blender.

Then you'll be ready to start animating your vehicle. We'll first rig the truck with the free Blender add-on, Rigacar. You will then configure the suspension, and animate it across a rugged terrain. Once the animation is complete, you’ll learn how to render out an image sequence of the scene, as well as a final .mp4 video file.

This course will take you from start to finish, creating an animated scene of a vehicle in an environment. The tools and skills you’ll learn in this course will allow you to take that next step and create your own amazing animated scenes.
