Tutorial: Foliage Creation for Games

FastTrack Tutorials, a company that is dedicated to creating real-time courses on 3D art for games, has released a new tutorial on creating easy foliage. In this tutorial, Senior 3D Environment Artist and the owner of FastTrack Tutorials Emiel Sleegers shows how to create various types of foliage like trees, shrubs, ivy, grass, plants, and more. You will also learn how to create foliage decals, custom leaf, and branch textures and how to place foliage in your environment.

Almost all greenery will be created using SpeedTree. Emiel will also show how to use Maya and set everything up inside Unreal Engine 5 to create fantastic vegetation. You will also use Photoshop and Marmoset Toolbag for the decals and leaf textures.

According to the author, this tutorial is best suited for students who have familiarity with 3D Modeling tools and Unreal Engine.
