You are the Bob Ross of Blender to me. Thank you for your content. Amazing production quality and great teaching!
Mr Abbitt, thank you! This playlist was very informative and enjoying, I've learned and understood many different things such as retopo, baking, nodes etc. I'll definitely watch last couple of videos again to understand the whole baking process more deeply... ❤️ God bless you!
Im loving this series also would it include porting this with all its textures into unity or any game engine
possibly
Unreal please:)
Awesome model! love it!
I found you better than blender guru your courses are great i request you to make a new tutorial about game ready chracter asset because your prev course is of blender 2.7 please😪 love you
That's my course that I sell🙂
Grant, these Game Ready Axe videos are insane! Your videos are very useful. I'm so excited about it!
Hi grant ! I've been following this amazing series and arrived at the end im now trying my best to contintue on my own but i'm really stuck on how do i get rid of the low roughness for the axe holder and straps since all is on one material and share the same roughness as the axe head. Can you give me a tip on how to change the roughness for the holder ans straps only
You need a metallic map as well as roughness
Thanks for a great tutorial, been watching many videos from many people and felt like i was in a perpetual vortex of confusion, but this one series with some of the small hints, tips and outlining some of the errors you may come across has put a lot of what i'm trying to do in a bit more focus!! Looking forward to the next installment...in the mean time, i have some practicing to get on with :) :)
Really cool course! I'm kinda ashamed that when I started watching it I thought it is intermediate level. After I watched it whole I see that this is very cool begginer course. That made me realize that I'm not as well rounded 3D artist as I thought I am. Anyway, it was really precious to see the whole workflow!
I watched all this series like I was binging a TV show
I'm glad you made this series.
Grant, please tell me how in this case to make the head of the axe glossy, and the rest of the parts rough? After all, when we reduce the roughness value, the axe head does not look like metal.
Enjoying it?
I love it. 💗
Thank you so much for this series Grant. I couldn't find a series as educational and detailed as this until you made it.
Many thanks for such an amazing tutorial! But it's just ended unfinished... The next video in the playlist is about low poly trees. But there are still many themes uncovered. How to create a roughness map for example.
Yes the views got so low that I could not justify continuing. I think it's fairly straight forward from here though and there is enough for most people to finish
@@grabbitt It's a shame that this tutorial is so underrated... It's really good and helped me so much. Thank you for your work anyway! :)
So good, thank you very much!
Amazing and thank you love your videos it's been extremely helpful to me. I had a question, if I wanted to give a different material to those runes that have been sculpted what would be the easiest way to select them in order to apply the material?
masking is the best way
wow i never thinking how hard to painting something in 3d
Will this be continued or is it the actual last video of the playlist?
Edit: Nvm, I found the answer in a comment. Too bad :( But I enjoyed my journey up to this point!
thank you! this playlist awesome very clear teaching method.
Thank you so much sir
Wow! what a great series. A friend recommended this to me and I am so glad they did. Going right from the basics to an amazing model. Just wondering if it would be possible for you to make a video on how to export it into unity, as the other one you have made on this only has a single texture, and doesn't include the normal map, cavity map, ambient occlusion or the metallic map. Thanks again
i'm getting more and more and more confused in blender, especially UV unwrap and texture paint, i don't master others, but that two things confused me soo damn much
When we understood it became very simple, but I remember that I was also very confused about these things when I was a beginner... but I can't even remember what I found complicated anymore.
If you have a specific question I can try to answer it.
👽👍
New video = new Like. Thanks for your work!
Grant! did you end this awesome series? 22/22?
Yes I think there was enough info for people to finish
Dude, I just wanted to do an easy low poly axe. 14 hours later I have an awesome (by my standards) looking texture baked high quality axe. Time well spent I guess. Thanks for this guide, much appreciated.
Hey
Thanks for the great tutorial so far! How would you mix in all the nodes for everything else (handle and strap). Would you make a completely different image texture and use a image node/mix shader? I was planning on making my strap blue and didn't know how to mix it in with the brown handle
Yes
@@grabbitt what setting should I use when mixing? (Multiply, darken, lighten, etc.) Or can I instead paint the strap blue using the existing image map that I used to paint the metal?
Hello, I'm following the first video about this mesh tutorial, but I'm having problems since the very start. When I save the image, it saves it as WEBP file, and not PNG, and if I try to change the format, when I do Shift + A and click reference, I can find the file but it appears purple. Someone help me please, I'd like to put this in my portfolio lol

Man...#5
and these lessons finished or axe work not done?)))
i have a video time-lapse of me painting which i will probably upload to finish
Thank you for such a detailed and exciting lessons! It’s been really challenging and really helpful for me as a beginner. 👏🏻✨
You have a talent for explaining difficult things!
- I have a question about the material properties. Sorry if I didn’t notice same question in the comments.
In this nodes structure we made maps for the whole low poly mesh and main material properties are the same. I need to apply different adjustments for blade, handle and leather (roughness, specular and metallic), as they share blades properties at the moment and everything looks too shiny or oily. I know how to apply different materials to basic mesh, but we already baked high poly, so if I apply new material to low poly faces, it looses all high poly information.
There should be some easy solution for it for sure, but I can’t get it yet. 😅
- The handle and leather are hand-painted, aren’t they?
You create a roughness and metallic map
Hi Grant I've loved this series so far. Are you planning on getting back to it soon? I'm curious to see this one come to an end and see/hear about exporting it correctly with the textures. Thanks for creating this!
I had finished this series. As the views were getting so low it was tough for me to justify doing any more parts
@@grabbitt That's too bad, I was looking forward to seeing how you did the leather! I'm texturing/modeling a mace and I like what you did with the textures. Thanks for the first 22 parts, they really helped a lot!
Should the AO map be set to non-color??
Yes
@@grabbitt thanks! Great tutorial btw
How can I add emission to runes? Should I just make an emission map and paint it? looks kinda odd
thats exactly what you do :)
@@grabbitt Thanks for a quick response. My second question (if u dont mind) is did you use same workflow for texturing rest of the axe (stencils)?
This is a top tier course THANKS A-LOT!
E
Hello, first of all just to thank you for the great tutorial. My question is. How long it takes to render this kind of animation(turntable/360)? On my pc(GPU rtx3080) it takes about 25 minutes. I wonder if that is avarage for that GPU or??
Should render super quick depending on the settings
I can't see the colour of my object in viewport shading, how to fix it ?
material preview mode and hook up the nodes
After doing texture paint,when i save my blender file it overwrites my original texture(that i used as a brush), so how to save the painted texture wherever we want ??
like you have all those at 9:36
Press the little shield next to the texture
thanks
Not gonna lie I'm really disapointed that this amazing series is left unfinished. I understand you though, it's too much effort for not so many views. Again, thank you for all you tought me for free! I've learned a great deal of stuff and sooner or later I'm going to buy your character course!
Now a question about the axe... For finishing the straps and wooden body of the axe should I just follow the steps of this last video or is it a bit different than that?
No it's the same as the past video
@@grabbitt I managed to finish it. I'm really happy with the final result even though for the roughness i used new materials for the straps and wood and just assigned it to them. I bet there's a better way but that's all I could think of 😅
I finally made it to the end and I must say I'm really disappointed by this series. The amount of shortcomings to likes and positive comments ratio is really overwhelming. I don't know if you are deleteing negative comments or what because I'm sure I'm not the only one who sees it. Like It's really annoying that sometimes you show a wrong method to do something for example sculpting the runes but then reverting everything and using masks in the next video. Also worth to mention that you didn't put a low poly model for those who didn't save it because u forgot to mention it of course or not putting textures in the description as you said(I stumbled this across many of your tutorial series, so it's not the first time). You didn't even finish this series but in almost every video you pursue people to donate you or buy your paid courses, shame. As I said, I'm really disappointed and surely will never use any of your tutorial again.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Bro the guy is literally offering TOP TIER content for FREE, keep your disappointments to yourself. This course should be a paid course, I learned sooo much! Thanks alot @Grant Abbit
There isn't anything for everyone, but there was so much info packed into this series. I know the series ended prematurely but you're watching this free of cost. If you did follow the series all the way here, don't tell me you wasted all your time doing this? Very few people do the _entire_ game asset workflow for free online, surely you must've learned something that's worth more than "whatever you paid for to watch this series?" Or else you already know your stuff and should not be complaining either way.
Kinda agree with you, but I remember this was really annoying tutorial to follow. Especially this part with runes when he sculpted them by hand just to revert a save in the next video which obviously he didn't put in the description so I had to remake whole axe head for this, great tutorial xD! But now I'm already way beyond that, thankfully he effectively discouraged me to continue learing stylised 3d graphic. I recall I gave up trying to make wood texture for this one. I wouldn't say i wasted my time doing this but I later found much better tutorials for free and learned that blender is just a tool for modeling, texturing and baking is a no no.
Thank you so much, this really gave me a good idea of the whole start to finished process of a detailed game asset. It's super helpful, thank you!
what if we wanted to add real textures or ready textures to the asset how is it done ? and is this really it, can someone use the axe in a game ?
You are one of the best artists I know, thank you!
You are such an amazing teacher. You explain everything in details and that makes it easy to understand. Thank you.
Hey Grant, thanks for the great tutorials, big fan here. Do you still stream live videos for tutorials?
not any more but maybe will again in the future
Way too much. I see why people use Substance now.
THE BEST BLENDER TUTORIAL IV SEEN SO FAR (after llike 50hours of blender tutorial)
It looks cool ❤️ 🔥🔥🔥❤️
please sir the link to the textures for the stencils
Grant, I'm sorry man but this is a horrible send-off. If you knew you were going to end the series why not do one last video to finish it off? I ran into many issues with my attempts to colour the rest the object. My straps and handles would not change colour in render mode. It just feels very bad when you see what the final product could look like in the first video and not able to finish it. You should've at least finished the rest of the object before calling it an end. Your tutorials aren't bad but now I'm not so sure if I will check the rest of your channel out. Not a good look at all from me. I'm very disappointed.
I have lots of texture painting videos in my texture painting playlist. I felt I was just repeating the same things and the series had not been getting many views. I think I did well to keep going for this long for the effort and views it was getting.
@@grabbitt Yea man, no hate on the effort you did. You have a very clean and professional style compared to the other tutorials I tend to find, which made me enjoy the series. I think I will follow your blunderbuss guide next.
One question now that we are at the end. I followed most of the steps as you said to do (besides my straps, I just did not manage to make them as sharp and distinct as yours so I just asume that yours are leather straps while mine are cloth straps^^) and now blender says that my Axe is roughly 4m high (4 of the 1m square units). Does that matter? I heard that blender can mess up normals or other things when your object is to small. But does it matter for the game I'm using it in? does it matter for other objects? Do they need to be relativ to each other? For example if my axe should have a hight of 1m does that mean if I make other assets should the all be 4 times as big as I intend them to be so that they match the axe? Or does it not matter at all and I just scale them all down and up as I want later in the engine? Sorry for the weird questions but I always have trouble were Code and visual assets meet.
Size won't really matter but you can just scale it down before export if needed
One question though, unity reads roughness map through the alpha channel of the metallic map. But i can't seem to make it work. Does not ticking the "Alpha box" when we create the textures effect this workflow in anyway? How do we combine roughness and metallic maps together correctly for it to work with unity? Since this is a game asset creation tutorial, i think it would be relevant to clear this out.
No you have to combine the different maps into different channels manually.
Man, I know I'm two years late but I want to tell you I can't find the right words to thank you, I like how you explain everything you do and how you do it in details and not a boring way..
But I'd appreciate it if you answered me.. why do we need to bake all these and not only the normal maps which is clear why we bake it? I mean why don't we just texture the low poly?
And one more thing, is this the last part of the series or there other videos I can't find?
Thanks again
I had to finish it here unfortunately but it's enough for most to complete. The baking is to help with the texture painting
I just love this series very detailed, all possible mistake to every aspect explained it all with keen details.
i am not able to colour my object, it only changes colours between white and black. Even though i pick blue, it doesn'T affect. What am i doing wrong
perhaps the blending mode?
It's really nice job👌👍👏 Grant Abbit.
22? when it will be ready?? :D
Probably one more after this
@@grabbitt when is that one more coming out please? 🥺
@@ejazahmad9189 yeah views got very low so i thought i would finish it here as it was enough information
@@grabbitt please make one last one, it'll be completed, would really appreciate that
Hi, I’ve been watching your blender tutorial vids for a few months now. I was wondering if I could get some advice on how to make a kinda root handle for a axe that splits, and how I can make the head of the axe almost like a lightsaber in the sense that it’s just white light with a green aura around it (if that’s possible). Im bad at explaining, sorry. But I have a picture I drew up for reference but i don’t know how to send it to you.
It's tough to say as the are many techniques for this. I would just try things out. I'll do a video about a glowing texture at some point
Is this the end? No final model, final render?
Views got so low it was difficult to justify any more. But there should be enough here for everybody to finish
@@grabbitt The series is really more than enough. Thank you so much for this tutorial and for replying.
I know I'm bit late to the party too, but I decided to push the axe a little bit further. What do you think?

Fantastic work
I don't have graphic tablet. Can I sculpt like this?
its tough but not impossible
Thank you
good structured information!
Hello Grant, keep with this incredible job.
It helps me a lot, and
i just missed a brief instruction on how to export to some engine as unreal or unity, maintaining the quality and integrity of the model and maps created with such care!
it would be great if possible!
Hi Grand. I must say that I find your videos the most interesting to watch and follow. I understand that you have finished the axe tut but could you give some guidelines about texture painting the handle. What ever I've tried I didn't even come close to your result. Have painted the handle in blender or on another app?
Just blender. See my hand painted playlist on more about painting wood
Hollyy been learning 3D for around 4-5 years and this is still soo educational!!! You can learn all pipeline, can you want anything better ?!?! Finally convinced me to specify in one area, and quit out of that 3d generalist. Assets for games it is !!!
Off subject but I just found the most recent vid of yours.
I can’t get into the discord, I click the link from gabbit website and it just takes me to discord, doesn’t show me your server.
Ps... I got a xp pen deco 1 v2 yesterday for my birthday, 2nd attempt on the wizard and it’s so much more fun with a tablet than mouse, I’m loving your sculpting Tuts now 😁
I'll look into it
@@grabbitt thank you, perhaps could you drop an invite link here?
@@grabbitt ignore that, I’ve tried another method and I’m in 👌
Watching Grant do all the things that I could have done if I didn't have two kids. :(
Hi Grant, amazing series as usual! I recently saw your video on graphic tablets, could be nice if you bring other videos as that one for other devices, as monitors for 3d art and other stuff that could be useful. Thanks a lot for your contents, very informative and detailed!
Finally
is this video is end tutorial for axe ?
Yes I think there is enough info in here now👍🙂
what a tutorial, you are an amazing teacher. can't believe i came this far, can't believe the things i've learned through this. you deserve millions of subs, not thousands.
is one of the best detailed tutorial ever made in this software
Thanks for this amazing series. 👍
Hello Grant Abbott
I lost texture when I switched to soilid mode how to fix it
Use material preview mode
Thanks a lot for this amazing series Grant)
sir is this the last episode ? or more is coming
Last episode. Had to finish it there as views were getting so low at this stage
@@grabbitt but the learner will learn sir but its okay sir learn a lot :) Thank U
Where's Part 23?
The views became so low it was not worth continuing. But you should have enough knowledge for you to finish
Grant, thank you for those awesome tutorials!
Can you improve the result if you use a PBR materials instead of just an image texture and add the additional maps in the node tree?
yes
Baking and textures were one of the most hardest parts for me in blender! Thank you so much for making this series!
Wow! That is looking amazing!
Hello, I have a question about retopology, when doing retopology, apparently we are left with 2 sculptures, I didn't understand if this was supposed to happen or if it was to be with one of them.
you have the sculpted model and the low poly model so 2
@@grabbitt ok, so let's see, If i wanna animate or use it in a game, i've to use both?
@@PedroHenrique-ne9pq no you only need the sculpt to get the texture info. Once that's baked you can get rid of that one
@@grabbitt ok, i got it. Thank's for answer me and thank's for all the knowledge passed by your videos. Keep doing it.
Great series. Well done!
When next part?
its finished now you should have enough to go on :)
@@grabbitt ahh 😁 ye thanks! I thought it will be something more cause at the end you said something like see you in next episodes. Anyway thank you very much man for your work, right now I'm doin your course for 3d complete character (bought during your 300k celebration) and I love it!
how I can get this textures for free ?😣🥺
Where's the last part
Check the playlist
@@grabbitt it shows this one as last, where's part 23? I'm so close 🥺
@@ejazahmad9189 yes that is the last one. What are you liking for after this?
@@grabbitt for part 23, for the handle and strap work
Is this series still going? Did people lose interest in it? :(
the views got very low so i thought that was a good place to finish
@@grabbitt That's a real shame :( Was hoping to see it all get exported to engine. Thanks for all the content you produced any how :)
Hi great video thanks. I have a question.
I just starting making stylized low poly assets & I intend to sell them on different platforms. Should I combine & bake all maps in a single texture, or upload diffuse, metallic, roughness & normal maps separately? because when I check android games, it looks like they are using all information including lighting in a single image texture.
thanks
It all depends on what you think the assets will be used for
