Long time no seeee! This week on POLYCOSM we're covering a hidden gem used for easily generating Normal Maps (or other texture maps) from just a regular image: Materialize! It's completely free (Windows only), open source and super simple to use. I also cover how I utilize Normal Maps in both Blender and Substance Painter.

WANT TO LEARN HOW TO BECOME A MASTER SCULPTOR IN BLENDER?

In order to learn how to sculpt in Blender, I took a CG Boost course called "Mastering Sculpting in Blender". Zach Reinhardt covers literally EVERYTHING you need to know about sculpting in Blender, and a bit more. If you're interested in levelling up your sculpting skills quickly, I couldn't recommend a better course than this.

POLYCOSM aims to bring you high quality tutorials looking into concept creation from a 2D AND 3D perspective. The channel is run by Freelance artists Christina Myrvold and Omercan Cirit who both work in the entertainment industry on a full-time basis.

We want to share tips and tricks, show you how to come up with creative ideas, use reference efficiently and showcase different 2D and 3D workflows. (And especially a combination of both!)
