Orbit: Game Art – Intro to Blender 3D Modeling and Texturing

This month’s Game Art Orbit will feature a demonstration of the basics of working with Blender 3D. This lesson will cover how to craft a simple object, a dumbbell, and a mildly complex object, an ancient watchtower. We will focus on how to create models, texture them, and edit shaders.

Our guest instructor for this lesson is Christian Romero. Christian is a Game Art student who graduated from Drexel University in 2018, and will be continuing his studies with a Master of Fine Arts at the University of Connecticut in August 2022. Christian is also currently working as a part-time contractor with the YouTube channel Kings & Generals, where he recently released his first video. He is passionate about low-poly art, history, and getting to know new people.
