Projecting photographs onto your models is a quick and easy way to add high levels of detail to your final textures.
In this course, we will use a project based approach to demonstrate some techniques that you as a texture artist will be able to use not just in this course, but on every project you work on here inside of MARI. After setting up our project to work in and bringing in images, we will learn how to quickly project an image onto our model using MARI?s Paint Through tool. Now every image won?t be a perfect match for the mesh that we are projecting it onto so next we?ll focus on transforming the projected image or paint before it is baked into our texture.
From here we?ll learn about some pitfalls to be on the lookout for when projecting images and how we can begin to account for those using projection masking. This course will cover several other valuable tip and tricks for a texture artist including the mirroring of textures from one side of our model to the other and color correction all while fully utilizing MARI 2.0?s layer based workflow.
After finishing this course, you will not only have a fully textured asset with color, specular and bump maps but you?ll also have a new arsenal of tricks to add to your own texturing projects.
Warning: Be sure to scan all the downloaded files with your Antivirus and if there is an executable or installer file, make sure to have your antivirus active and open in the background while installing or running the app. Some of the materials posted here are downloaded from CGPeers, So they could potentially have something injected in them.
We always ask bloggers to scan all the files before publishing the posts, but sometimes it's hard to detect all these things, so if you found anything suspicious (Not false positive, Generic, Patcher, Riskware and Heuristic results, most patches could get false flags like that by some Antivirus companies.) be sure to post comments with the file name and a VirusTotal report result link or the file MD5 Hash (higher than 30% overall positive result). Thank you.
