About the videos
I am excited to bring you, after working more than 1 year working in a air fighting WWII game, a series of video tutorials showing all the process from zero to final, all the steps to make the famous flying boat, the Yermolayev Yer-2. I assure you that by the end of this videos will be able to do this aircraft using Blender and Adobe Painter (Substance Painter). The objective here is to learn how to model and optimized asset/model for in game or cinematic purpose, Im gonna show you topology and strait modeling techniques to achieve high quality optimized models industry standard, please check rendered attached images.

A feel thoughts about this tutorial

- The aircraft modeled here are based on historical photos, blueprints references and famous air fighting games.
- The use of 1 Uv set is due to mobile games, devices and engine limitations. That is why we focus on the most visible parts from Player perspective.
- The technique I bring here is a straight modeling technique with no highpoly mesh process needed, mixing Blender and Substance tips. Techniques I use daily to deliver assets for the air fighting game I work for.

Softwares Used

Blender & Adobe Substance Painter

Artist Level Needed

Intermediate to advanced. But basicly I am using G for move/grab, E for Extrude, K for knife cut, R for Rotation, etc, very basic stuff, so I would say Basic artists could give it a try!

Conclusion

After watching all the videos you will be able to do an optimized aircraft using only Blender (with no extra paid addons) and Adobe Painter.

** hotkeys on screen for most of this tutorial. Hotkeys are basic like E for extrude, K for cut operations, G for move, etc.
