Gnomon: Texture Painting: Fundamentals Photorealistic Texturing with Paul Campion


In this DVD, Paul Campion explains the essentials of texture painting with Adobe Photoshop®, discussing how observation and an understanding of the original object’s surface qualities are the skills necessary to create photorealistic textures. Starting with reference captured using a standard flatbed scanner, he demonstrates how to create color, bump and specular maps for a prehistoric shark tooth, explaining how each type of map affects the surface qualities of the CG model, and how these three basic maps work together to create a photorealistic surface. In addition, this DVD covers the human face, one of the most difficult areas of a human to texture.

This demonstration shows some of the basic principles involved in texturing a human head, relying on the use of good reference and observation skills. Paul also demonstrates how Maya can be effect- ively used as a 3D paint package, using Perspective Camera Projection and texture baking to generate complex UV maps, which are then combined in Adobe Photoshop® to create detailed realistic head textures.

How to Draw Animals with Marshall Vandruff

This one focuses on constructing the form through anatomy etc.
But even more valuable (to me anyway) it really goes in depth
into constructing the form in 3D & perspective.

Until I watched this I had only a basic grasp of perspective
but this makes it all really clear & IMHO is about the best
resource Ive ever come across on these subjects.

Here's the website for it:
http://www.draw123.com/animals/howtodrawanimals01.html

Its a good quality divx rip of the dvd. Please let me know if Ive done
something wrong as I am totally new to torrents.

Enjoy & please seed! Ive have a lot of art instruction books & vids to share &
am loving the resources Ive found here already. Thankyou to all the sharers!
