Hard Surface Vehicle Texturing from 3dmotive

Hamish Bode

3dmotive have hooked up with our fellow Polycounter, Alec Moody, to create this awesome tutorial. The tutorial goes over the texturing of a tank and, from the looks of things, goes into heaps of great detail about the process.

Alec goes through the utilization of photo source elements, integrating hand painted dirt, wear and scratches, as well as show techniques for painting cloth and the tank treads. He also tackles the ever-tricky metal specular map that lots of artists often have a hard time with.

Check out the Youtube video and if this is something you can use, head over to 3dmotive to buy it and support the education of all fellow Polycounters. Go forth and learn!

Nice! I'll have to check it out. I agree sometimes the metal spec is hard to figure out. I start having problems when there are multiple types and colors of metal involved.

@chadabees - Definitely! Although, you can definitely tell when someone gets the metal spec right. When they do, it makes me want to lick the screen. Yum.
