Hello Folks, So we made it to 6th chapter. This chapter is one of the most important chapter of this series. Because today we will be discussing asset creation pipeline from basemesh to sculpting-Retopology-Detailing-Baking-Shading and finishing off this scene with an awesome smoke simulation.
However small this asset is, its important to understand the process, which we haven't done before on this channel. So buckle up and grab a coffee.
