ASSET PIPELINE#1
The complete workflow from asset creation to integration in a game engine, ensuring quality and efficiency.
BLENDER#2
A powerful open-source 3D modeling software used for creating, texturing, and animating game assets.
UNITY#3
A popular game engine that allows developers to create and integrate 3D assets into interactive games.
MODELING#4
The process of creating 3D representations of objects using software like Blender.
TEXTURING#5
Applying images (textures) to 3D models to give them color and detail, enhancing realism.
UV UNWRAPPING#6
The technique of mapping a 3D model's surface to a 2D plane for texturing.
RETOPOLOGY#7
The process of creating a new mesh topology over an existing model to optimize it for animation or performance.
POLYGON COUNT#8
The number of polygons in a 3D model; lower counts improve performance but can reduce detail.
LEVEL OF DETAIL (LOD)#9
A technique that uses multiple versions of a model at different detail levels to optimize performance.
PERFORMANCE TESTING#10
Evaluating how well a game asset functions within a game environment, focusing on frame rates and loading times.
MATERIAL SETTINGS#11
Properties applied to 3D models in game engines that define how they interact with light and appear in-game.
IMPORT SETTINGS#12
Configuration options in Unity for how assets are brought into the engine, affecting performance and appearance.
COLLABORATIVE WORKFLOWS#13
Methods and practices for working effectively with a team in game development.
DOCUMENTATION#14
Written records of the asset creation process, important for maintaining clarity and facilitating collaboration.
PORTFOLIO#15
A curated collection of a developer's best work, showcasing skills and projects to potential employers.
FEEDBACK INCORPORATION#16
The process of using critique from peers or mentors to improve and refine work.
GAME ENGINE#17
A software framework for creating and running video games, providing tools for asset integration and gameplay.
ASSET INTEGRATION#18
The process of importing and configuring assets in a game engine to ensure they function as intended.
OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES#19
Methods used to enhance the performance of game assets while maintaining visual quality.
INDUSTRY BEST PRACTICES#20
Established guidelines and strategies that lead to successful asset management and development.
CAPSTONE PROJECT#21
A comprehensive project that synthesizes all course learning into a final demonstration of skills.
ITERATIVE DEVELOPMENT#22
A process where assets are repeatedly refined through cycles of feedback and improvement.
ANIMATION#23
The process of creating movement in 3D models, enhancing the dynamic aspect of game assets.
SCULPTING#24
A modeling technique in Blender that allows for organic shapes and detailed surfaces.
TEXTURE SIZE MANAGEMENT#25
The practice of optimizing texture dimensions to balance quality and performance.
