Streetfighter 2 was one of the greatest fighting games of the arcade gaming era. In this video it explores how the game came about and the innovative techniques they used to create outstanding artwork.
I am currently designing a course showing you how to make your own fighting game similar to Streetfighter.
I will post more updates when it is near completion
Professional game asset creation for Unity using Blender and Substance Painter
Cyberpunk is a vibrant, exciting and neon drenched game environment appearing in more and more video games.
In this series I am going to show you a professional production process for creating both low poly and high poly modular game assets for creating a cyberpunk city for use in the Unity High Definition Render Pipeline (HDRP)
We will be modelling in Blender 2.82, where I will be showing you lots of cool techniques, shortcuts and best practices. We will be UV unwrapping the models to ensure we get high quality professional results.
We then jump over to Substance Painter 2019, one of the leading procedural texturing applications used in the game design industry today. I will be showing you how to create 4K multi layered materials that have that wow factor and the realism that is expected in today’s game industry. We will also be covering opacity layers and emission channels for the neon glows.
Finally we take our optimised low poly 3D models with High Definition texture maps into Unity and set up and render a realistic scene using the HDRP settings in Unity which have some of the most realistic and impressive lighting and rendering capabilities in any game engine at the moment.
By the end of this course you will be very confident with making and texturing your own game objects. You will have an impressive piece you can include in your game design portfolios.
So why not enrol today and I look forward to seeing you in my course.
Covered in the course:
I created this scene in Daz Studio, rendered out the image and turned it into a comic style piece using Photoshop
So, who do you think would win this fight?
A major feature in ZBrush 2019 is the incredible NPR shaders. Below are a couple of example videos of how to use this in Z brush
The results are impressive. Just when you thought Z brush couldn’t get any better, they create this!

I created this quick scene in Daz Studio. It took a whopping 15 minutes to render.
I wonder which creature might win in a fight like this?
I am going to turn the image into a comic book image in the next few days. Keep posted for more updates.
I created this interesting looking Victorian style character in Adobe Fuse and then rendered him out in Unity using MK Toon Free, which produces interesting cartoon style effects.
In Photoshop I added a few LUTs and image adjustments to get this.
Now all I have to do is come up for a name for him 🙂
Inspired by the old Conan comics, I decided to create this image.
I set up the characters in Daz Studio:
I rendered out the scene using Iray and a shader called Sketchy which gives some nice ink style outlines. Then I took it into Photoshop for some re-colouring and image post effects.
Not a bad image, took me a few hours to create.
A quick experiment with the female character for my comic. I wanted to see how she would look in full color and this is the result.
There are several passes of inks, shading and color layers.
This would be part of a full page spread, so, is one panel among many. The character is the brightest part of the image so as to direct the viewer’s eyes to her initially, before following her eye line down to the gun on the table.
The dialogue which would be added later would explain what she is contemplating. This would be an important plot twist, as such this is an important image in the story.
This is Amanda, the female lead character in a comic I have planned, featuring the werewolf from an earlier post.
I have decided to go with a black and white style as I quite like the level of detail on the character.
The 3D model is from Daz studio. I used Unity to light and render the model. Then I used Photoshop to create the final drawing.
If you like the style, you can discover how it’s done in my Udemy course listed below: “Create comics without drawing”

Description:
Have you ever wanted to create comics, but find it difficult to draw them? Now I am going to show you how you can make professional looking comic books without drawing.
I will show you step by step how to take 3D models from Unity and create comic book artwork in Photoshop.
All the software needed for this project is free and I will show you a lot of great assets and resources that you will find invaluable when creating comics.
There are a series of tasks along the way where you will develop and fine tune the techniques so that they become second nature and you will be creating your own comic books in a matter of weeks.
