Does anybody know any good texturing tutorials?

BARDLER · Sep 2012

I understand the concepts of texturing, how to UV map, normal maps, high/low poly stuff, ect. I am looking for a video, or multiple, that have lots of information about tricks you can do in photoshop, material definition, texturing workflow, ect.

Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

One of my favourites are "How to Hand Paint Convincing Metal Textures":

Or else check the Wiki:

I'd like more info on this too, since I suck at it. Here are some bookmarks I've collected:

Racer445 does some tutorials, I have his sword one downloaded but I can't find the link for it. You could google his name.

Cool, this is RIGHT up my street! I'll be sure to check all these out, thanks! I dont have much to contribute myself, but youtube has some good tutorials! I've learn't more from youtube vids than ANY written tutorial, and thats in a variety of different fields, not just 3D modelling! Some good channels to check out could be: "Guyblue Summers", "The New Boston", "CIPSB" etc.

Somebody on here linked me to a REALLY good tutorial/portfolio for the process of texturing a character. It was some kind of evil looking, grey skinned gothic assasin woman, dressed in leather and futuristic gear, with a symbolic scar on her forehead, and a mutated dog-like monster. I seem to have lost the bookmark though, and I cant even find the thread I got the link from on here. Maybe somebody remember what it was called?
