Chapter 2. Creating Characters

In the previous chapter, we learned the process of creating our own game concept, which was mostly theoretical. In this chapter, however, we are going to get our hands dirty by learning how to create 3D characters from scratch using Blender!

In this chapter, we will cover:

• Downloading Blender for Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux
• A quick look at the basic user interface of Blender
• Creating a 3D model of the monster from scratch
• Unwrapping UV and creating a texture for the monster
• Creating a 3D model of the player character from scratch
• Unwrapping UV and creating a texture for the player character
