This eBook series takes a simple 3D scene, with a limited number of objects and a low-to-intermediate amount of geometry, and shows you how custom textures can be created from a library of photos in Photoshop. All of the reference images are taken from 3DTotal’s Total Textures collection and form the foundation of the exercise. Rather than using actual geometry, this tutorial covers how you can combine and fuse numerous images into unique templates, which can then be used to describe a variety of materials, creating the illusion of detail and volume.

In this DVD, Paul Campion explains the essentials of texture painting with Adobe Photoshop®, discussing how observation and an understanding of the original object’s surface qualities are the skills necessary to create photorealistic textures.

CG Master Christopher Plush takes you through each stage of modeling, texturing, and lighting an abandoned warehouse level. Learn how to create this realtime environment in its entirety including environment assets, and learn how to use the new Blender 2.5 series while you’re at it.

BEHIND THE SCENES (BTS) is a new and exciting DVD series developed to showcase the creation of a game cinematic sequence. The series follows a team of artists as they demonstrate their production techniques from concept phase to final rendered animation. In this chapter of the BTS series Ben Neall explores the many aspects of texture creation for the main character Geo. Some of these aspects include techniques such as UVing, Projecting, Texture Painting using 2D and 3D softwares, as well as overviews of shader and render setup.

In this series of lessons we will be exploring the Substance procedural texturing system included with Maya.
With Substance, we no longer have to rely on the time-consuming process of acquiring and manipulating photographs to suit our texturing needs. Substance allows us to procedurally generate textures that are highly realistic and highly customizable.

Mari was developed by a New Zealand company Weta Digital, which has been used in films such as the District 9, The Lovely Bones, and Avatar. Mari is intended only for texturing 3D models. Similar to (Zbrush, Mudbox, Blender, 3D-Coat) is different for a maximum of

Shape up. Our Texturing with Maya tutorials show you how to add textures to base models and turn skinned wireframes into realistic objects. Learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate photographs and create brushes and layers ready to use in Maya, just like the professionals do. Next, we show you how different combinations of specularity, bump, translucency and reflectivity are used to emulate the qualities of different surfaces, from skin to aluminium. At the end of the course you will have learned all the key skills you need to confidently create textures of any kind.

Modeling and Texturing Old Ruins - modo and Photoshop. Learn how to model, UV map and to create custom weathered textures for Cambodian-style temple ruins, from the ground up, using modo and Photoshop. Over the course of 19 videos Darryll Reynolds of GameBox Studios, Australia, guides you, stage-by-stage, through the process of building and texturing a medium-detail model, 60k polygons, based on just a few reference images and without the use of background guide images or known dimensions.

They use the whole educational process of real training courses : sessions, Multiple Choice Questions and practical exercises. But as the teacher is not supplied with the CD, the course has been extended in order to provide answers to all the users' questions.

This book takes you outside the studio and walks you through the museum of life. This full color book combines traditional texture creation principles with digital texturing techniques to enhance your scenes and animations. In the first half of the book, you will learn about the history of textures in fine art and in the second half, how to apply these principles to your 2D and 3D digital scenes.
