Photoshop Textures

We'll begin this training by starting with a sketch of our forest creature, along with visualizing the environment that our concept exists in. From there, we'll spend several lessons using some different methods of blocking in textures to develop and evolve the look of our forest creature. As we apply our textures we'll be working in grayscale so that we can focus on maintaining our values first.
Once our textures have been blocked in, we'll begin to refine our concept and learn how to apply color. We'll finish our concept by exploring how to place our forest creature into an environment that compliments his appearance.
By utilizing the methods of applying textures in this course you'll be able to add more depth and personality to your own concepts.

No matter what type of asset you are creating, after the modeling has been completed and the UVs have been laid out, its time to begin painting textures. For many artists, Photoshop is the primary place for this step. This training will explore how Maya and Photoshop work together to create and apply textures to our assets. To get started, we’ll first learn how to apply a material to our asset inside of Maya. From here we will export our geometry and bring it into Photoshop’s 3D workspace for texturing, where we will paint a diffuse and specular map. Photoshop offers an unparalleled layer based workflow and we’ll learn how to take advantage of it both in 3D and 2D space. To wrap this course up, we will export our textures out of Photoshop and then apply them within our material using Maya’s Hypershade before rendering.
