Key benefits

  • Enjoy the foliage modelling to game environment transition from Blender to Unreal Engine 5
  • Maximizing the potential of your references to develop strong game asset concepts using Pureref
  • Explore different transparency materials for setting up cut-out decals, partially transparent decals with PBR values, and two side-faced textures

Description

Have you ever wanted to breathe life into your game world through foliage such as plants, grass, water lilies, and reeds? Then this course is for you. In this course, you will learn how to create vegetation from a simple plane and turn it into 3D foliage. Then you will learn how to make use of Blender’s particle system to model foliage including flowers. You will also learn about optimization and the importance of low poly modeling to get the best performance out of a dense foliage setup within any scene at the same time as maintaining the stylized visuals of custom-painted foliage. You will learn how to use weight painting techniques to get better control over foliage position. Then create materials for the foliage using UE5 texture customization and the wind system. Next, you will learn how to paint water foliage into a scene and how to get more depth out of its volume, painting plants on top of the water, inside the water, and underwater. Once all assets are ready in Blender, you will learn how to export them and import them into Unreal Engine. The Unreal Engine 5 (UE5) part of the course includes a full environment scene composition guide to enhance our environment without cluttering up the terrain. By the end of this course, we will be able to create foliage in Blender from scratch easily. All the resources for this course are available at: https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Blender-to-Unreal-Engine---3D-Plants-and-Vegetation

Who is this book for?

This course is designed for beginner 3D modelers who are eager to learn how to build 3D foliage such as plants, lily pads, underwater plants, reeds, shrubs, grass, and much more, or for mid-level 3D modelers who want to take their modeling to a new level and improve their workflow with tips and tricks. Game designers who would like to design a set of over 12 different types of foliage and 30 variations for a myriad of game environments for games in Unreal Engine 5 or Fantasy, and open-world game environments fans who want to walk through and experience a realistic environment, can also benefit from this course.

What you will learn

  • Use Blender 3 and understand its new interface and shortcuts
  • Import and set up custom alpha brushes for texture painting
  • Use Blender's particle system to model foliage including flowers
  • Use weight painting techniques to get better control over foliage position
  • Create clusters of foliage to get the best results in an environment
  • Set up a foliage asset pack that can be easily imported onto any UE5 project

This and half through the previous video just seems to go into a ramble about colour values and random things and setting tweaks glare which doesn't add any value
