The GnomonWorkshop: Photorealistic Texture Painting

Posted by Users on 2010/06/18

Posted in: Learning, Tutorials, Videos. Tagged: Bodypaint 3D, Gnomon, Maya, Modo, Texture painting.

In this introduction to photorealistic texture painting, Justin Holt discusses how a trained eye for detail and keen sense of observation are essential attributes to being a successful texture painter in the the feature film industry. Using BodyPaint and Photoshop, Justin will demonstrate some of his easy to follow techniques and tricks of the trade in order to paint proper color, bump, displacement, specular and opacity maps. But more importantly, Justin will go through essential principles to maintaining a non-destructive workflow while painting textures to ensure a maximum amount of control and flexibility for any revisions and changes that may be requested after the maps are completed in a production environment. Additionally, Justin will complete the lecture with a quick run through in Modo to show how to quickly and easily generate polished renders that showcase all of the finely tuned texture work.

Is that NoScript add-on safe?? has anyone tried it?

I use adBlock for Firefox and have no survey :)

P.S. Thanks for share

OK, guys. I thought probably no big deal, but I have to tell you the secret.
I got angry pretty early, with the survey stuff. (Mouth foaming and all the reast :) All you have to do to get the links is (Firefox) View-Page source.
You can do it in every browser. you don`t need plugin or any of that sit.
I just tell you because we should all be enviromental friendly and don`t waist energy for bullcrap, (and time).

Hi everyone,

To bypass these silly AD’s do the following.
Once the page has loaded you can see the url’s in the background.
So all you have to do in internet explorer is goto your “VIEW” menu and select “Source” from the menu list. This will give you text pad like access to all the links in the message.

Enjoy,
PS: Stop this silly waste of time filling out surveys.

- Mumbo on 2010/06/25 at 1:42 AM said:
  
  you can create a free collector?s account by going to http://www.rapidshare.com and choose from the top menus ?Free Zone? / ?Create Free Collector?s Account?, and there you can simply reupload or move your previously uploads to that account and we can download them without limits?.
  Thanks again
Mumbo on 2010/06/24 at 8:58 PM said:

andrew06 this is what RS said:
“This file is neither allocated to a Premium Account, or a Collector’s Account, and can therefore only be downloaded 10 times.
This limit is reached.
To download this file, the uploader either needs to transfer this file into his/her Collector’s Account, or upload the file again. The file can later be moved to a Collector’s Account. The uploader just needs to click the delete link of the file to get further information.”

So you can create a free collector’s account by going to www.rapidshare.com and choose from the top menus “Free Zone” / “Create Free Collector’s Account”, and there you can simply reupload or move your previously uploads to that account and we can download them without limits….
Thanks again
