Hi. I was doing this vehicle and kinda stuck because I'm not sure how to set up materials the right way. So I am wondering how it would be best to approach material setup for this vehicle. Right now for the main body it has 2 texture sets: lights and the main exterior. This main exterior texture has alpha for the windows…

Donations are always appreciated, as they enable me to take on less freelance contracts and spend more time on textures,HDRIs and various gear upgrades. I upgraded my old Canon 550d to a Nikon d750…

This is my first texture sheet: It's still not done, as I want to work…

I just graduated recently and I would really like to be an environment/texture artist for a game company. I usually lean more towards next gen modular assets using zbrush to sculpt and polypaint a lot of the texture. However i have always loved and been a fan of hand painted texturing and have always been jealous at the…
I know the general difference between what a shader and texture is. I'm confused on the standard way or most efficient way when using them together. I'm working on a car.
