The Winged Key | Game-Ready 3D | Harry Potter inspired
This hero prop was created as part of a free practical lesson at White Gamedev Academy.
The goal of the lesson was to guide beginners through the full game art pipeline — from a blank scene to a polished, game-ready asset.
⠀
🎯 What we teach in this lesson:
• Modeling & UV in Blender
• Baking and texturing in Substance 3D Painter
• Final render setup in Marmoset Toolbag
⠀
Polycount: 3,6K tris
Textures: 2K
⠀
The result: a fully optimized stylized asset inspired by fantasy worlds like Hogwarts Legacy — complete with wings, gem detail and realistic textures.
⠀
💡 This project is part of our Studio-Ready 3D Artist course, but the lesson is available for free — so students can try real production skills before joining the full course.
