Lesson 1
Lateral Design Fundamentals
In this first lesson, you will unlearn anything you've already learned about weapon design. Luis will demonstrate his unique photo texturing approach, and help you to see shapes and patterns in ways you may not have thought of before. You will find artists whose work inspires you, you'll look for reference images to help spark creativity, and you'll use provided template material to practice your new skills. By the end of this lesson, you will have created your first set of basic weapon designs.

Lesson 2
Detailed Weapon Creation
Now that you've learned the basics of Luis' unique approach to weapon design, you will use this lesson to create several finished weapon concepts of your own. Luis will go through advanced methods for silhouette creation, iteration and refining your designs, as well as ways you can repurpose existing finished designs to make an entirely new set of concepts. You will also learn to present what you've made in a way that will be compelling to clients or other potential viewers.
This course uses various melee weapons in order to teach you Luis' technique, but you can use these lessons to create any kind of weapon you choose. To demonstrate this, Luis finishes the course with an 'epilogue' chapter, in which he quickly shows how the same technique applies to various other weapon classes.
