This comprehensive DVD will introduce to you and take you through many of the fundamental concepts of texturing models in a CG environment. What is UVW mapping and how do I work with it? How do 3D procedural textures map themselves onto our models? How can I lock those procedurals to my deforming characters mesh (skin, soft body dynamic objects etc). These and other topics are explored here and should give any user a complete grounding in UV mapping and texturing within 3dsmax.

Creating highly detailed textures for our characters can often be a difficult task. MARI gives us a lot of flexibility in creating those textures and allows us to break down our models into a large number of high resolution textures that we can paint on simultaneously. In this series of lessons we will go through the process of using MARI to create textures for high resolution creatures. We will begin by setting up our MARI project, with our geometry and texture channels, and setting up the workspace.

In this DVD Dominic Qwek will guide you through a fast and efficient workflow for unwrapping the UV's on a complex organic creature mesh (the creature he modelled in his Advanced Modelling DVD). The DVD is structured in two halves, in the first half Dominic covers the “traditional” workflow used in 3dsmax 7.0 and earlier releases

In this DVD Dominic will take your through an advanced and structured approach to Sub-Division based creature modelling. He lays the foundation with a well planned and analyzed set of concept sketches that allow him to plan his models form from the outset. From here he builds the model in three distinct stages, with each stage forming a solid foundation for the next. Finally he takes you through some adjustments steps that give his model that extra realism and to ensure it functions well within a production pipeline
