"Pothead makes for a great learning project because he is made up of mostly simple shapes - but with a few complex pieces thrown in."
Hand painted textures are perfect for matching the concept's rusty metal appearance into a 3d shader, so we will paint our own in Blender, but we'll also enlist the help of some procedural textures for the smaller, sharper, and more random details.
At the end, we'll bake everything to one texture set - so Pothead can render quickly in Eevee and be exported to any other application.
In 40 lessons and more than 17 hours of runtime, this is a fantastic project that covers a lot of ground...and skills that you will benefit from in countless future projects of your own.
