Texturing continues right after these messages...


Now its time to texture rest of the stuff in the appartement, ive started cleaning up alot of the models, and splitting them into seperate objekts, to easelier create my own textures on different places on the objekts.
I LOVE UNWRAPPING!
No seriously, unwrapping takes a long time to do right. luckely most of our bigger objekts are relativly "simple" so i can use a regular "flatten mapping" in edit mode.

I will post more testrenders soon... Keep your eyes peeled on this blog :D

This week on Advertise This! Part 2

After a quick meeting with our teacher we took some time to find the style we where looking for, we also found a color pallet that we liked Kuler . I have unwrapped the appartement, and converted it into a photoshop file, with 3000x3000 resolution.
First thing i did was to magic wand the spaces i wanted to paint, and saved them as selection sets in PS.

After that was done i made some layers: Color, Detail, Bump. I will make more layers if i need some different effects. This procces made the painting much easier and quiker.

First this I did was to search the web for some PS brushes and found a great site named Brusheezy .
The first thing i did was to paint the color, I then applied some lighter and darker variations of the color on different parts.
Then I started on the details, we wanted to have some variations in the texture, not big variations that will distract you but enought to make it not look flat.

After that I made the bump for the panels, we wanted it to look slightly futuristic so used some "wire" brushes, and made the bump weak.

Then i started on the floor, but i needed to find a complimentary color to the walls, and found yet another great site Lixlpixel .
I did the usuall prosedure, and first colorized it, then added some variation in form diffrent shades of that color in carpet texture,and then made bump texture for it.

This week on Advertise This!


This week i have started to do some texturing while the others in my group work on characters, and rigg's.
On monday i made a lot of different styles, but since we had no clear plan it was hard to come up with one. I managed to forget to save alot of the test renders.
The one above this text is one of the styles i managed to save, other examples was "High-Tec", 5th Elemetish and so on.
