Digital Tutors – Creature Texturing in MARI

Creating highly detailed textures for our characters can often be a difficult task. MARI gives us a lot of flexibility in creating those textures and allows us to break down our models into a large number of high resolution textures that we can paint on simultaneously. In this series of lessons we will go through the process of using MARI to create textures for high resolution creatures. We will begin by setting up our MARI project, with our geometry and texture channels, and setting up the workspace.
From there, we will block in a color base on the pieces of our model. We will look at the different effects we can get when using different brushes. We will use photographic images to paint through, adding realistic detail to the model very quickly. We will also look at several ways that we can use masking to aid in texturing, including edge masking and using existing channels as masks. Finally, we will look at how to adjust entire channels or selected uv patches based on a number of different filters. In the end, you will not only have textured a complete project, but you will have the tools you need to create high resolution textures on your own models. If you are just starting out and are completely new to MARI, please check out the Beginner Guide to MARI as well as the Introduction to MARI to get a good grip on all of the functionality available in this powerful application.

  1. Thanks for the share!

    I really wish Digital Tutors would get some talented modellers/texture artists on board. All their stuff looks the same with mediocre quality! (good for 2003, but by todays standards, they don’t even reach the bar.

    • why you are so angry about this if you are not even paying for that…. you should say that to digital tutors when you buy them something, and if you don?t like it just dont download it and study in the gnomon school if u want something of todays standards…

      • I’m not angry at all. :)

        The actual teaching by the tutors is great, but their final models/textures always look like a student showreel piece. (I did pay for 3 single month subscriptions by the way..when I had some work.)

        You’re misunderstanding a positive critique! :)

  4. thks for all ;)
    wupload links doesn’t work anymore !

    cheers
