Is it better to have a denser mesh & no subsurface modifier?

[Clayton Boone]

I really want to make this game from scratch . Got any pointers or suggestions . Do you use shape keys in the game?  Do run & walk cycles export? I’m assuming I gig the bones after triangulation? Or is all this done in unity. Is there any courses I could take to help complete a game ready character?

Hey Clayton,

I would recommend watching this course: https://cgcookie.com/course/rig-and-animate-a-treasure-chest-in-blender-2-8  it goes over the rigging process on a simple treasure chest. No shape keys are used in the game, all the animations can export with the mesh and rig of the character. 

Unity will do the triangulation, but you still need to ensure proper topology within Blender otherwise you’ll get weird deformities in the mesh when animating. For more human based rigging you can also watch this: https://cgcookie.com/course/fundamentals-of-rigging

Right on, thanks. Will definitely check those out. I’m currently working on the rock asset with Jonathan & Kent.
