CGSociety: Game Asset Creation
This is a course I put together for CGSociety back in 2012. After spending years sifting through the internet, experimentation, and teaching at the local college, I decided to put all of my knowledge in one place to help new artists starting off. If you've seen a crate like this before, it most likely started from here. The course was put on hold, as PBR is now the industry standard, and I have yet to update the course to satisfy that requirement. You can see a few of my PBR endeavors in the following images.
I worked with a colleague, Oscar Carafo, to help concept a crate that would be simple enough for a beginner, complex enough to understand various problems of game asset creation, and cool enough to want to show in a portfolio or a game.

I had a request for the concept for artists wanting to build this crate. I only ask that you credit myself and the actual concept artist of the crate, Oscar Cafaro! Other than that feel free to use this to create your own version!
