What’s the process for making an ultrakill model?

pretty similar to a modern asset! i'll try to keep this short(ish): blockout -> high poly -> low poly -> unwrap -> bake -> texture for modeling i use 3ds max (id use blender if i was proficient), with sculpting in zbrush if needed. for uv unwrapping i use max still, packing i use uvpackmaster in blender because its better than a human can do. baking in marmoset toolbag. texturing in substance painter with pixel8r, a retro art plugin i develop

the way it differs from modern assets is all in the texturing. i use the bakes to generate lighting information from some base material layers, then do manual paintover on top of that. i always* paint with pixel8r enabled, which allows me to work pixel perfect. * sometimes ill disable pixel8r to paint faces, and then clean up with pixel8r on i hope to record my process for my next model and upload it after its revealed.

I figure now is a good time to share that I make plugins for Substance Designer and Substance Painter! This one I use every day for art on ULTRAKILL and other projects. It’s blown up quite a lot. If you see retro styled game art these days there’s a good chance it was made with Pixel8r!
