Program overview

Game-Ready Prop Workflow focuses on teaching you the full pipeline of creating optimized props for real-time environments. From initial concept and high-poly sculpting to efficient low-poly modeling, UV unwrapping, texture creation, and export for game engines, you’ll learn industry-standard techniques to ensure your assets look great while performing well in games. You’ll apply tools like Maya, ZBrush, Substance Painter, and Marmoset Toolbag to develop assets that are both visually compelling and technically optimized, understanding how design decisions affect performance. Expert mentorship and hands-on projects help you refine each step of the pipeline, culminating in props that are ready for use in real-time scenes or commercial projects.
