This is the main page of the Beyond Skyrim Arcane University 3D Art tutorials.

Expectation

A 3D artist can create shapes based on Concept Art, writing and discussions as well as experiences gathered in the team regarding Animation and Implementation. This plays a vital role in creating new game art assets.

General Workflow

Generally, the artwork is taken and then, a Blockout modeling starts. For the high-poly work flow, a high-poly Sculpting is being done. The height information is being merged into the asset-specific normal map (Baking). On Mesh Export to NIF, the asset obtains its physical properties such as Mesh Collisions and being rigged/skinned to bones during Animation. It is important to understand the Nif-specific rendering properties, shaders and texture set structure.
