How to make a nice-looking toon Tower in blender. Tutorial from gamedev.tv

I’ve learnt to:

  • Model a low-poly toon-style tower, using different tricks like mirrors

  • My first time making textures:

    • Learnt to use Multiply for shadows and Screen for lights in texture painting.
    • Created special gold textures using Color Dodge (what a hack!).
    • Made some nice-looking wood textures, which was easier than I expected.

Making the textures was actually quite pleasant task, and apparently my iPad works great when mirroring screen (I can use the pencil with pressure control and such).
