Welcome to the Tracker Knife Tutorial Series.

Click the image above for the preview video.

I'd like share with you some tutorials I've been making to answer a few questions people have been asking about modeling, texturing and baking.

It's a production focused series of tutorials exploring my workflow and pipeline involved in creating a weapon asset for a modern game engine.
Hope it helps some of you.

I have described my process split over multiple videos including -

Part 1 :
// Modeling the High poly asset: smoothing & topology tricks to ensure accuracy and eliminate pinching
