Erik about that one automated UV layout example - this is typically the kind of problem that seem just fine from a techart point of view, but in practice leads to sloppy results. Obviously for organics it can be worked with, especially along with a projection paint solution. However there is always a point when you need to…
badass!! are all of these prints? I remember ages ago you saying you were making them for miniature prints. Did that ever go through? That Oki dude would look super sweet painted on mah desk :) awesome stuff dude!
OK, there is a sort of filter trick. Take a photo-sourced texture and play around with the reduce noise filter at max strength while playing around with the sharpen details slider, you can run it multiple times. You can then color sample & paint over it, it's not a replacement for painting skill and if you aren't careful…
well hey there everyone @ rush great color tutorial I loved it and learned a thing or two. and here I thought I knew everything. Well now I do lol. anyways since this thread seems to be devoted to hand painting textures how would one go about trying to make the textures look literally painted such as oil paints. I have a…
"I have known Jo Ann Miller for many years. Several years ago, she introduced me to the Directory of Illustration and pointed out its virtues. I have an overarching promotion and advertising program and I decided in 2011 to dip my foot in the Directory's book and online platform. I told Jo Ann that, in all candor, this…
So yeah sorry, as you can see I don't explain workflow a lot :P Initially I painted over an image of the character quickly to get the direction, this guy has a lot of individual geo pieces so for me, its a lot quicker at first than painting blockout over the whole thing's geo and easy to play around with adjustments for…

Hallo All, I've ran across a problem with a new project Im working on, the idea of the project is to make a toon-like animation with some ambient light. After trying the different options that 3Ds max 2013 gives ( ink n paint material and the mental ray falloff map + contours shader ) I didn't totally like the result that…
Ok, so here's my question: how to use vertex painting when also using LODs? More specifically, since LODs reduce the number of vertices on the mesh, it also changes the appearance of vertex painted mesh once LODs switch, because its geometry does not stay the same. And the result is VERY noticeable LOD pop-ins. I was…
Anyone know of a tool that supports radial painting? This is what I'm trying to achieve. The sketch updates in realtime on the rotated version of the image, making it much easier to work out the composition. At the moment I'm 3D painting in Blender. I could probably wing this workflow and use it only at the sketching stage…
