Texturing N More

Tue Nov 30, 2010, 12:57 PM
So i've still have some playin round to do in the uv mapping area, but confident enough to move on and plan out how i will texture...With intentions of utilizing Zbrush to texture...i ventured outward to see what other solutions there are, and to my surprise Bodypaint is still very popular for this...after watching a few videos its apparent that its photoshop likeness makes it feel very natural and easy to learn. i also played around with 3Dcoats texturing capabilities and it has a rather impressive texturing tools. Lastly i revisited the 3ds max's viewport canvas and its capabilities and though nice dont stack up with the other 3 pgms....this will be a hard decision far as establishing a workflow possibile considering all zbrush's texturing features, 3d coats simple and fun textuing tools, or BodyPaints ease and seemingly professional suite....all that said mudbox has become officially useless the way i see it.

O.k how bout some Links/Resources

Character Creation for Video Games (this link was found on polycount forums displaying 3D character creation from beginning to end)

Polycount wiki-Character Creation(also found @ polycount forums another resource towards character creation education)

TexRipper (a very simple and useful to for grabing textures from images and making them nice and flat for 3d usage...it requires Adobe Air chances are its already on your cpu but if not go ahead and dl the free software.)

CGNuggets (this lil spot offers purchasable 3D character creation lessons...along with lil snippets of each lesson allowing you to sample material being covered...u honestly cant beat these prices for the material being covered.)

10MinuteDrawingLessons ( I've come across this resouce before but this time around i was able to realize how great of a resource this is...Marks free lessons and occasional live streams are invaluable)

well thats it this time around...gonna eat a lil bit b4 diving back N2 BodyPaint 3D... and leave you with this comment.."a year ago i didn't think id be able to break away from my drawing in order to study 3D, but step by step ive made progress and have learned much all the while still drawing from time to time...if you want it you can get it..:typerhappy:
