SC2 Modeling and Texturing pipeline (about 6hrs video)

ahtiandr

Hi all!

I have been modding starcraft 2 recently and I have decided to make "small" :poly121:video tutorial where I show my process of doing one lowpoly asset from scratch. About 6 hours of video. I am discussing :

Base mesh modeling
Highpoly sculpting
Retopology
Smoothing groups
Unwrapping
Three examples of baking
Texturing

This is not a step by step tutorial and stuff like navigation is not covered here. Just showing of my process I hope it will be a bit useful for somebody.

Thanks for putting these vids up mam!

Is it possible to enable Replay speed on these videos ?

Awesome, I've been meaning to try getting assets into SC2, but it took too long for the tools to come out.

I am not sure what you mean ? I have rendered them so that there will be 100% parts at the beginning and then it will go up to 200% speed when I will be doing repetative things.

Perhaps s/he was talking about Youtube's feature for speed control. Some videos let you click the gear icon for this.

Ok I figured it out.

You just need to go here and enable the html5 player and then you can change the speed of the video
