Stylized Hammer Blender Tutorial

By purchasing this product, you are supporting the channel and the content I work hard to create and share :)

In these videos, I'll show you how to create a stylized chunky hammer and texture it in Blender. Don't worry if you're a beginner, I mainly use primitives and basic shapes; as long as you have the basics of Blender nailed, you should be able to follow along just fine.

Product contents:

• My reference sketch.
• Final Blender files.

What you'll need:

• Blender :)
• Enable these built-in addons: Node Wrangler, LoopTools, Extra Objects (Mesh)
• The reference sketch (provided in the files)

Things you'll be doing and learning:

• Load and place a Reference image in the viewport/s.
• Use Modifiers, such as Subdivision, Mirror, Solidify.
• Edit primitives, such as cubes, cylinders, spheres.
• Use Snapping.
• Use Edit tools, such as Inset, Extrude, Bevel, Edge Loops, etc.
• Create a Metal and Leather materials and apply those to the model.
• Mix materials to create interesting metallic and leather finishes.
• Use Ambient Occlusion in the materials to add more depth and impact to our models look.
• Use Madcaps to inspect your model.
• Use different built-in HDRIs to inspect your model and materials.
• Use texture sets you can find on sites such as AmbientCg.com, and elsewhere. You can download the ones I used at the links below, or use some of your own. *See note below.
• Learn to use Procedural shader nodes, together with images in some places.

*Important note about image texture maps:
Blender saves file paths for any image textures used in materials, so you will likely have to re-point those images to the location where you downloaded and saved the texture maps. By default, Blender will display a bright pink colour if a file is missing, so that's a good clue.
Edit the Image Texture nodes in the Shader Editor.
