Starting September 2026! Ultimate Game Asset Creator - An 6-Week Live Training Program
Built for developers who want to create their own game assets - with live coaching, expert support and a community behind you.
Enrollment closed - but not for long!
We'll be opening the next round soon, and spots go fast. Subscribe below and be the first to know when it's live.
What you'll learn
Create Game-Ready Assets: Build assets in Blender that are optimized, functional and ready to use in a game engine.
Master the Blender-to-Engine Workflow: Export your work and bring it cleanly into Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot.
Model With Performance in Mind: Work with clean topology, sensible poly budgets, collision and LODs for real-time games.
Fix Problem Assets: Diagnose and repair common issues with scale, pivots, normals, topology, UVs and materials.
Create a Cohesive Art Style: Use consistent palettes, materials, proportions and texel density to make assets feel like they belong together.
Build Assets That Move: Learn the basics of rigging, animation, interactive props, environmental movement and effects.
Work Smarter With Reusable Assets: Create modular pieces, variations and reusable systems that help you build more efficiently.
Think Like a Game Artist: Learn to work from briefs, follow technical requirements and solve creative and production problems independently.
Build Work You Can Actually Ship: Package and present polished assets for your games, portfolio, freelance work or asset marketplaces.
Get Weekly Feedback From Professional Artists: Share your work, troubleshoot problems and get practical feedback during weekly 90-minute live calls with Grant and Stefan while learning from the challenges and solutions other artists bring to the group.
What's Included In The Program?
Go Beyond Making Models That Look Good in Blender
Knowing how to model is one thing. Knowing how to create an asset that actually works in a game is another.
This program takes you through the full game asset workflow. From modeling and UVs to materials, collision, optimization, animation, export and engine integration. You’ll learn why an asset that looks great in Blender can fall apart once it reaches a game engine, and how to prevent those problems before they happen.
Across six weeks, you’ll work with the kinds of assets that make up real game worlds: nature assets, modular structures, interactive props, animated environmental elements, vehicles and characters.
The goal isn’t simply to make good-looking models. It’s to understand the decisions that make an asset coherent, optimized and genuinely game-ready so what you build in Blender can actually ship in a game.
Choose Your Challenge: Create or Refine
Not every game artist starts with an empty Blender file and neither will every assignment in this program.
The CREATE track challenges you to build assets from scratch, taking a reference or brief and turning it into a finished asset that fits the style, technical requirements and needs of a game.
The REFINE track gives you existing assets with real problems to solve. You’ll diagnose issues like bad topology, incorrect scale, broken normals, messy UVs, inconsistent materials and poor optimization, then rebuild and refine them until they belong in the same game world.
You can also choose the level of challenge that fits your experience. Foundation gives you clearer references, budgets and a defined path to follow, while Production asks you to make more of the creative and technical decisions yourself.
Whichever path you take, you’re practicing the same skill professional game artists need every day: figuring out what an asset needs and knowing how to get it there.
Build Like a Game Artist, With Feedback Along the Way
Game art isn’t created in isolation, and neither is this program.
Each week combines focused video lessons with a practical assignment, followed by a 90-minute live session with Grant and Stefan where you can share your work, get feedback, ask questions and learn from the challenges other artists are solving.
As the program progresses, you’ll work with shared production standards covering things like naming, folders, scale, budgets, pivots, texel density, materials and style. Instead of treating every model as a separate Blender exercise, you’ll learn to think about how multiple assets work together as part of one cohesive game world.
You’ll export your work into Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot, assemble scenes and dioramas, and see how your assets perform where they’re actually meant to live: inside a game engine.
By the end, you won’t just have more Blender practice. You’ll have experience creating, troubleshooting, optimizing, packaging and presenting game assets. Whether you want to use those skills in your own games, freelance work, a portfolio or asset packs.

Get ready to turn your Blender skills into real game art production skills.
This 6-week live, hands-on program takes you beyond making models that look good in Blender and teaches you how to create, refine and deliver assets that are coherent, optimized and game-ready.
Each week, you’ll tackle a different part of a game world — from nature and structures to interactive objects, effects, vehicles and characters — while learning the technical and creative decisions that make an asset actually work in a game.
Choose CREATE to build assets from scratch or REFINE to take existing assets and turn them into polished game content. With Foundation and Production levels, you can follow a more guided path or challenge yourself to work more independently.
You’ll bring your work into Unity, Unreal Engine or Godot, get feedback during weekly live calls with Grant and Stefan, and develop the production habits used by game artists.
By the end, you won’t just know more about Blender, you’ll know how to create game assets that are ready to use, share and ship.
Ready to Build Game Assets That Actually Belong in a Game?
This is a 6-week, hands-on program designed to take your Blender skills beyond modeling and into real game art production.
Each week introduces a new type of game asset, with focused video training, practical examples, a hands-on assignment and a 90-minute live coaching call with Grant and Stefan for feedback, critique and Q&A.
You'll work through nature assets, structures, interactive objects, animated effects, transportation and characters, learning the creative and technical skills needed to take each one from Blender into the game engine of your choice.
Choose the CREATE track to build assets from scratch or the REFINE track to transform supplied assets into polished, game-ready content. You can also work at Foundation level for a more guided experience or Production level for a challenge that puts more of the creative decisions and problem-solving in your hands.
Throughout the six weeks, your skills will build on each other as you develop a consistent production workflow and learn how to create assets that don't just look good. They work together, perform well and are ready to ship.
