In this three part video tutorial series, lead video game artist, Ron Davey, will walk you through the process of creating a game-ready environment prop in Autodesk Maya, and also share his personal techniques and thoughts along the way.
In the first part of the series, Ron created the low poly model from reference and then moved on to create the high poly source for the purpose of texture baking. Now, in the second part, Ron will proceed to unwrap the model, lay out the uvs, and then bake out high poly normal and occlusion maps using Mayas transfer maps tool.
