any texture tips?

almighty_gir

well, since my texturing stinks worse than rhino ass... here is what im currently working on... its still in its early stages. but i intend to learn as much as i can. if anyone wants to do paintovers, feel free =]


flats:


i took MoP's advice in using smaller texture sizes, and trying to squeeze out as much detail as i can, and im happy thus far, but im sure theres room to improve =]

thanks in advance!

I'd try use some colour variation, there was a topic on the boards regarding heat areas,,, it was applied to faces i.e. red for warm areas and blue for colder areas.

I'm sure you could apply that to the torso

Try vertex baking if your unsure of light sources.

Try using as many references as possible, photos, sketches etc...

I normally prefer to build up detail in numerous layers rather than just using one layer. But everyones different.

As far as the current texture goes its quite monochromatic, you coud use some colour variation, perhaps add some finner details such as nipples, scars, freckles, ribs, belly button etc...


Theres my ten cents I'm sure the others will give you some more ideas
