3D Modelling for Games — Fortunaspark
Each program focuses on a specific part of the game asset pipeline — from base mesh to engine-ready export. You work with the same tools studios use, on briefs that reflect real production constraints.
Each module below covers a distinct phase of 3D production. Pick the one that fits where you are right now.
A beginner-friendly course covering the core skills of 3D modeling with Blender, built specifically around game asset pipelines and real-time constraints.
An intermediate course focused on hard surface techniques used in AAA game production, covering high-poly sculpting, baking, and PBR texturing.
Learn to model, retopologize, and texture stylized and semi-realistic game characters using ZBrush, Blender, and Substance Painter.
A focused course on building game-ready environments using modular asset design, terrain tools, and Unreal Engine 5 lighting and materials.
Sessions run as live webinars with screen-sharing, not pre-recorded lectures. An instructor models an asset in real time — explaining topology decisions, UV layout choices, and export settings as they work. Participants can ask questions through the chat at any point.
After each session, you receive the reference files used during the demonstration. Assignments are reviewed individually, with written notes on what to adjust before the next session. Progress depends on consistent practice between meetings.
About our methodologyThe instructor builds an asset from scratch during the session — no pre-prepared geometry, so you see every decision as it happens.
You recreate a similar asset using a provided brief. The brief specifies polygon budget, texture resolution, and target engine — the same parameters a studio would give.
Submitted work is reviewed with specific comments — not generic praise. Notes focus on what affects performance or visual quality in an actual game context.
Each module ends with a finished, engine-exported asset. You own it and can include it in your portfolio without any restrictions.
These come up regularly in pre-enrolment conversations. If something else is unclear, reach out directly at contact@fortunaspark.com.
The specific tools depend on the module. Most programs use Blender for modelling and Substance Painter for texturing — both have free or trial versions. The program page lists exact requirements so you can check before purchasing.
Yes, recordings are available to enrolled participants for 30 days after each session. Live attendance is still recommended — the interactive Q&A portion is not fully captured in the recording.
The live session runs for two hours. Assignments typically take between four and eight hours depending on your current speed. Expect to set aside around six to ten hours per week to keep pace with the material.
Each program page specifies the assumed starting point. Some modules expect you to already know basic navigation in a 3D application. Others start from the very beginning. Read the prerequisites section carefully before enrolling.
Technically yes, but most participants find that running two modules simultaneously makes the assignment workload difficult to manage. Completing one module before starting the next usually produces better results.
