3dMotive - Hand Painted Weapon Texturing

Sean VanGorder

Our friends over at 3dMotive have just released a new tutorial put together by fellow Polycounter Tyson Murphy.

Over the course of the tutorial, Tyson demonstrates the entire process of creating a hand painted model, starting with creating the model in Maya 2011 and ending with the finished texture in Photoshop.

Read more about the video here: http://www.3dmotive.com/new-release-hand-painted-weapon-texturing/

We'd like to thank both Tyson Murphy and all the guys at 3dMotive for putting this together. Keep up the great work.

Well I've come across some great brush sets specifically for character textures and I've been wanting to try them out to see how painting highlights on skin and hair can improve a texture, but I definitely need to see how people here are raising the bar, seriously some amazing artists here, cheers Robby .

Really cool BrushSet on DA which is picking up some publicity, everyone might like to have a look at-

There's a bunch of Hand painted textures stuff out there already, take a look at Slipgatescentral (his videos are quite inspiring) Ben regimbal and haikai.net stuff.

Something good to know is that it's not about the tools with this thing but more about your skill as a painter, the default brush of photoshop is good too. I use the default brush of photoshop with more or less hardness and very occasionally the Blur's good brush set:
