On this DVD training – with over 2 hours of videos – David Revoy explains step-by-step his 3D paint-over techniques. De training starts with an introduction to Blender 2.5, to provide 2D artists with not much 3D experience a quick overview of the key features of Blender.

It introduces the basics of the UI, modeling meshes and setting up light and rendering. This render is then taken to MyPaint and GIMP for further processing, importing and setting up several layers and showing how to efficiently add detail, texture and more dramatic lighting with manual paint-overs and layering techniques.

Contents:

The Foundry Mari 1.3v1 (x64)

MARI allows artists to concentrate on painting detailed, multi-layered textures directly onto 3D models in a fluid and natural way. MARI was originally conceived at Weta Digital, because no existing commercial product could handle the complex, highly detailed look development work required by films such as District 9 and Avatar.

MARI has been designed by artists to give them immediate feedback, in context, working with multiple interacting models from any angle and in animated motion. MARI’s responsive creative toolset allows painting to be completed in a single application, reducing the need to export, paint in 2D and re-import.

Painting
UV-less workflow that gives the ability to adjust texture size on a per-face level allowing for near-limitless detail
Fully customisable brush engine
‘Paint through’ and ‘clone from’ between layers and textures (including ‘clone from’ on-surface)
‘Slurp’ brush for smearing and dragging texture
Paint canvas transform, grid warp and free-form ‘pin’ warp
Blur and sharpen, including on-surface, multiple UV patches simultaneously
Advanced ‘healing’ brush for seam removal and duplication of texture detail

Environment
Filters with real-time preview
Advanced channel masking engine, including mask painting, surface falloff, masking one channel to another, and by depth
Supports customisable real-time 3D shader preview (e.g. specular highlights, displacement preview via bump mapping, ambient occlusion, layer blending modes, colour correction and more
Customisable tool ‘shelves’ for brushes, colours, reference images, sharable between artist and projects
Floating point, 16 bit or 8 bit channels
All painting and shading tools are available in 3D projection paint mode and ‘flat’ UV paint mode
Background plates for reference
Imports multiple camera moves through which the model can be viewed
Spherical environment mapping to simulate a shiny reflective surface
Tiled textures with masking to quickly cover large areas on models

Models
obj model format support
Multiple objects, versions (e.g. high res or in key character poses), instances, with or without baked animation
Interactively handles very large 3D model data sets, scaling to over 1 million polygons for a single topology or mesh
Supports large textures up to 32K x 32K pixels
Handles thousands of textures per model, over many channels
Seamlessly supports hundreds of UV texture patches
Handles animated geometry and animated textures
Isolate, select, mask and hide geometry per patch and face
Customisable lighting and rendering modes
Massive geometry and texture data sets not limited by the amount of RAM
Dynamic tessellation shader that can preview displacement maps on geometry in real-time

Workflow
Linux or Windows
High quality turntable rendering
Flatten and round-trip projected textures for modifying externally (for example in NUKE or Adobe? Photoshop?)
Open and extensible approach to UI, geometry, camera, shading, and supporting light and texture exchange
Import and export as background tasks, allowing the artist to continue painting
Embedded web browser for quick access to community forum
Fully featured and open playtime colour management system
Filters with real time preview and fully featured colour correction
Save states for textures to have multiple versions that can be reverted back to later

MAR101 – Introduction to Mari


Professor: Gareth Jensen

Our first ever course in Mari is designed to get everybody up to speed with this new and excitingly powerful 3D painting package from The Foundry. Mari is a great leap forward in professional texture painting by being both users friendly and capable of dealing with a staggering large amount of resolution. Professor Gareth Jensen been working with Mari for the past few years as it was developed at Weta Digital and has continued to use it at Double Negative where he currently works. fxphd members will have access to Mari on Linux via the fxphd VPN.

Jensen comes from a background of physical film effects including make-up/prosthetics and painting ranging from props through to miniatures. Mari allows him to take a similar approach to texturing a digital asset by automatically seaming multi-patch UV’s giving a much more complete hands-on feel, similar to that of painting a physical model.

In this course we will be covering the basics to get you up and running, including a breakdown of the tools and palettes that you will find yourself most often using. We will be covering such great tools as paint through, heal/tow and the remarkable warping tools. We will going through the concept of Mari’s shaders and channels system as well as its comprehensive masking options.

Over the course of the term we will be taking an asset from start to finish. f you work like Jensen you probably like using all the tools at your disposal so we will also show how Mari works easily with other packages. I will be going over basic process of working in conjunction with Nuke and also the wonderfully simple to use camera projection set up for all your Photoshop projections.

In Jensen’s 10 years of experience within the film industry, he has had the opportunity to work for both physical effects as well as digital and even began his career as a creature actor for Lord of the Rings. Having previously studied make-up and prosthetics for film in New Zealand his role in the industry further progressed with the renowned Weta Workshop where he was involved in major productions such as King Kong, 30 Days of Night, District 9, Prince Caspian and more recently Avatar. Developing his skills amongst some of the best artists in the industry, Jensen has also trained as a creature and props painter and it was during the production of Avatar that he made the decision to expand his role into the digital world. Switching over to Weta Digital as a texture and look dev artist on Avatar, Jensen has been able to work with Mari during its development and has now used it for over 2 years and is continuing to use it within Double Negatives production pipeline. His background in physical effects has left him with a strong base understanding of how to paint realistic textures and being able to use Mari as his digital medium has made this transition a lot smoother.

Class 1:
A guided tour of the Mari GUI introducing the contents of the toolbox and a brief overview of the pallets. We will also be looking at setting up your project and talk about the subject of resolution.

Class 2:
Approaching an asset by gathering ideas and putting a solid aim together. We will be covering setting up projectors in Mari and using them with Photoshop to design a paint scheme. I will also show you how to create and store custom palettes inside Mari.

Class 3:
In this class we look at cleaning up our projections and become familiar with object handling and fast paint application using both 3D and UV views.

Class 4:
An introduction to the Mari shader system and a demonstration in how to use Mari with Maya texturing tools.

Class 5:
In this class we will be learning how to version up geometry in the object tab, as well as how to paint a metal mask.

Class 6:
In this class we will start to combine the powerful tools and methods we have learnt so far to create interesting and believable rust masks.

Class 7:
In this class we will be looking at ways to use textures in Mari that have been produced in other applications. We will also be going over techniques for weathering your asset.

Class 8:
In this class I will be showing you how to bake shaders out of Mari and also how to apply the power of Nuke to your texturing workflow.

Class 9:
Painting a human hand, in this class I am going to show you one approach to painting skin in Mari. Part 1 of 2.

Class 10:
Painting a human hand, in this class I am going to show you one approach to painting skin in Mari. Part 2 of 2
