Dreidel toy: Texturing, part 2

Christopher Tyler Dec, 15th 2015 1 Comment
This tutorial finishes the texturing of the dreidel spin toy. It specifically applies the coloration and design elements. The process of using only selected materials is described, in addition to the use of material transfer modes. Several texturing techniques for creating a roughened up texture map is explored in Photoshop.

UV mapping a seat cushion, Part 2

Christopher Tyler Dec, 7th 2015 0 Comments
This is the second part of the seat cushion UV mapping tutorial. This specifically walks through the process of unwrapping the cushion object, first starting with the original, basic subdivision surface object. It then shows two further unwrapping approaches uses a pre-subdivided base mesh to help demonstrate how to avoid or to minimize certain UV artifacts that can show up.

Dreidel toy: UV mapping

Christopher Tyler Nov, 25th 2015 0 Comments
This tutorial UV maps the dreidel toy model. It uses the Conform to Mesh Burn UV function to do this, but a second approach is also demonstrated which shows how to generate initial UV coordinate from planar mapping in order to control the size of the UV islands.
