Soul Casters in 3D

 I imported a card in Maya and i'm trying to make it as a 3D card, 

My goal is to make the Card 3D, with an interactable functionality so that i can Switch Card during the gameplay in Unreal Engine.


The card is readable, this shows that my photoshop format is good, now i'm trying to make sure that i can create a simple effective way of maintaining the card and making it playable, then I need to make different cards.

This is the base 3D mesh for the cards



once i completed the border i tested it on the card art

Back


The UV map



This is how it would look in game



I imported the model in Unreal Engine 5, and the model is actually small just like a real trading card.


I then imported a table model from Sketchfab in unreal engine


I then imported the other cards, to test the quality of the artwork, and I applied some textures on the table model.



I made a quick Video showcasing this


These are the Cards faced upside down on the Table


I'm not very fluent with Blueprints, so I have to improvise to sell the Idea of the Game. Becuase of the Resolution of the Artwork and The Fonts I used, the cards are readable in Unreal Enigne, and They can be read during the Gameplay, as the player can interact with them and Read the text and effects of the cards.

I will move the textures to mimic the placing of Cards in the Game.



I Posted a video on YouTube Showcasing the functionality

3D Weapon Workflow

Image
This is my guide, using my workflow to create a 3D Model for a weapon by starting from a concept idea. We will require the use of these specific software's: Autodesk Maya  (low Poly mesh),  ZBrush  (high poly mesh), and  Substance 3D Painter  (baking and textures). Then importing the final product into a game engine, in this case Unreal Engine 5 . Autodesk Maya I usually work with Autodesk Maya to build my base model from scratch, this software can be challenging for beginners, it will require knowledge and skills to be used efficiently. ZBrush This is probably the most challenging software to use, it took me sometime to get use to the interface, in my advice is best to use a drawing tablet and a pen for ZBrush. ZBrush can also be an optional step, because you can actually create the High Poly version in Maya.  ZBrush allows us to add details and sculpt our models, it is great for more complex meshes. Substance 3D Painter Once both versions of the model are completed we can move on
