3D Class Week 08 Working in a Game Engine With Final Prop
Finally this week we had to put our model into Unreal. I'm thinking that 3D might be what I'm weakest at, but at least it was a learning experience.

This week we had to bake maps into our model and paint it in substance painter. My Low Res Game Model: The High Res one that was going to be baked onto it: My process in Substance Painter: And my final product: I struggled a lot with fixing UV's that didn't work but overall I think it came out okay.

I changed the UV map to mimic the Unreal Cube UV Map as closely as possible. Left to Right: Default Unreal UV, Default Maya UV, Final Maya UV. My material instance set up: And finally my finished product!
