Let's model Half-Life 2 inspired wooden supply crate. One of the most iconic props to have been created for a game.

What you will learn in Let's Model #1:

  • How to block out the bounding box of the crate prior to modeling
  • Entire process of modeling the crate and individual planks
  • How to do an imperfection pass on the planks
  • How to optimize the asset
  • How to export/import the crate into UE5

Using the same techniques you'll be able to model additional wooden crate versions.
