Advanced 3D aircraft texture mapping

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:45:00 +0000

This technique uses mainly planar mapping for the entire object. One set of mapping coordinates (UV channel 1) from the side, and one set from the top (UV2). These two textures are then merged with the used of a greyscale mask.

Creating a photorealistic human face

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:25:00 +0000

This is not a tutorial for bloody beginners, I won't describe every layer I place, or the exact settings of the tools. Generally I make a new layer for every step I do. Try to be a bit individual.

Realistic eye texture painting

This time, I will show how, with some patience and a tablet, you can produce your own eye textures, applicable to your 3D characters. It's a realistic texture, but it can be simplified, depending of your intention and your character's style.

Creating normal maps

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:58:00 +0000

In the early days of 3D video games, textures on surfaces consisted of color information only. The texture would be a picture of whatever material the designer was trying to convey - brick, stone, vegetation, wood, etc. - and would contain shading information as well as the texture and color to create the impression of a complex, dimensional surface.

Texture Blending

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 16:41:00 +0000

Sadly, however, my peach is somewhat flawed. The problem: you can't really unwrap most objects without edges, lines or uglies. One solution is texture blending. I like to use texture blending because it's fast, easy and effective.

Projection painting

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Wed, 27 Aug 2008 14:59:00 +0000

Finally i found the time to do the tutorial about creating seamless textures within 3dsmax, i used 3dsmax 5 when i made the pictures, but you can use version 6, 7 or 8 also, using version 8 with its peltmapping would also make it easier.

Cubic mapping

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 17:16:00 +0000

Unfortunately for many artists, XSI doesn't offer cubic mapping. You have to create it by hand. So here's a tutorial that shows you how.

Mapping

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:54:00 +0000

No, radiosity and translucency is not the topic of this month’s column. What I’ll cover is the process of applying multiple mapping coordinates to a single object and aligning the mapping to the various planes of an object.

Using projection mapping

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Mon, 25 Aug 2008 14:29:00 +0000

Projection mapping is a feature that allows you to project 2D texture with an object called placement node, so you don't actually need to worry about UVs on the objects.

Making a complex UV texture

noreply@blogger.com (Unknown) — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:41:00 +0000

A complex object is hard to texture map. None of Lightwave's mapping types will allow easy texturing of the object.
