Learn to create low-poly sets with Blender and Unity

A video game allows you to build worlds that give players the opportunity to live unique experiences. From the big picture down to the smallest details, it all adds up to creating different sensations. Art director and 3D modeling specialist Daniel Gutiérrez has extensive experience designing sets for independent video games, which you can enjoy on platforms such as Xbox, PlayStation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

In this online course, Daniel teaches you how to design, 3D model, and texture a low-poly set in Blender and then integrate it into Unity, a world-famous video game development platform.

If you’ve taken his first Domestika course, Low Poly Character Modeling for Video Games, you already know how to create low-poly characters. Now it's time to bring those characters to life by creating a universe for them to inhabit.
