Blender for Game Dev: ABSOLUTE BEGINNER Guide (Part 6 - Materials & Textures Explained)

🎨 What ARE materials and textures? In Part 6 of my Blender for Game Dev series, I explain everything you need to know about PBR materials, texture maps, and why Blender isn't the right tool for creating game textures. This is the episode that will save you HOURS of frustration. I'll show you what each texture map does, why Substance Painter is the industry standard, and prepare our sword for the texturing process. In this episode, you will learn: 🧱 What Are Materials? The difference between a material and a texture (and why it matters). 🎨 Texture Maps Explained: Color (Albedo/Diffuse), Metallic, Roughness, Ambient Occlusion (AO), and Normal Maps—what each one does. 🖥️ Why Blender ISN'T for Game Texturing: The honest truth about Blender's texture painting limitations. 🔧 Introducing Substance Painter: What it is, how it works, and why professionals use it. 🛠️ Preparing for Baking: Setting up your model in Blender for texture baking (high-poly to low-poly). 📦 Exporting for Substance Painter: The correct export settings you NEED.
