Considering bitmap resolution when exporting to Collada

Christopher Tyler Jun, 11th 2013 0 Comments
This texturing tutorial shows an approach to maximizing bitmap resolution for objects that are going to be exported to Collada format (for use in something like Apple's iBook Author). This tutorial specifically shows how to work with an imposed bitmap resolution limit of 1024x1024 pixels.

Metallic lettering, Part 1 (anisotropy and UV map setup)

Christopher Tyler Apr, 7th 2013 0 Comments
This UV mapping tutorial is the first part in a series dealing with metallic lettering. Part 1 deals with the material effect called anisotropy and how to set up the geometry’s UV’s to properly render the anisotropy. As part of the UV mapping process we discuss two conditions to watch for to produce effective unwraps (UV scale and seam position).
