Aka: J.Y. Amihud. A Jewish by blood, multifaceted artist with experience in film-making, visual effects, programming, game development, music and more. A philosopher at heart. An activist for freedom and privacy. Anti-Paternalist. A user of Libre Software. Speaking at least 3 human languages. The writer and director of the 2023 film "Moria's Race" and the lead developer of it's game sequel "Dani's Race".

As you probably have guessed by my username, I know Blender. And I also know how to make SuperTuxKart addons. So I decided to make a Fedi-based series of tutorials explaining how I go from zero to a finished addon. This first part focuses on Karts ( since they are a bit simpler).

The tutorial is broken up into 4 pieces. And I prepared a PeerTube Playlist for you to watch. In any case, those are the 4 pieces:

1 - Setup

In this video I show how to install the appropriate Blender add-ons to deal with SuperTuxKart related files. And how an add-on of SuperTuxKart is structured.

2 - Modeling

In this video I show the modeling process of a simple monster-truck. I also go over techniques I learned, work best, for something like SuperTuxKart, which has certain peculiarities. And I also show the techniques I'm using to optimize the model.

3 - Texturing

In this video I show the texturing process of the monster-truck. From UV-Unwrapping, to texture painting, to creating a custom normal map for the wheels.

4 - Export

And finally I show how to turn this Blender model of ours into a SuperTuxKart add-on, that works in the game.

Happy Hacking!!!
