Hey Everyone,
I wanted to make a blog post to say that my latest tutorial is up. You can check it out at the following links (I will update this as I finish uploading it to more places)

This year, I wanted to create a tutorial that covers a lot of the learning and tips I found along the way, as I figured it would be helpful to folks.
I intended that it would be several parts long with different chapters. The first two are Planning & Blockout. These are super important parts of making any art project and something that isn't talked about or discussed a lot in tutorials. Much of my work in this area doesn't make it into the final art I post in any tangible, but I have learnt a great deal over the years about how best to start a project.
With the other parts, I plan to delve more into art creation. I want to cover material-based workflows such as materials, trim sheets, and decals.
I also want to discuss asset creation, including modular asset workflows, vegetation, large-scale assets, Sculpting, and unique 0-1 assets.
I have also been thinking about a mini series I could do, and I had a cool sculpting project I was playing with that might feed into this series as well.
Thank you to everyone who has already checked it out. I hope it helps people. Please let me know in the comments section if you have any ideas for topics I could cover or things you would like to see.
Thank you for taking the time to read this
Ben
