Texturing Fundamentals 1: UV Mapping&Texturing

PRICE: £36 / $71.38

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.

This DVD is aimed at a fundamentals and intermediate level user that needs a fuller grasp of UVW mapping and procedural texture theory. It will give any user a firm grasp of these concepts upon which they can build further more advanced skills.



Chapter 01: What are UVs? An introduction to what UVW coordinates are and how they can be used to map 2D textures onto our models. Chapter 02: Displaying Materials How to effectively display 2D and 3D textures in the viewport. Chapter 03: Implicit UVs What are "implicit" UVs? Chapter 04: Applied UVW Projections How to apply UVs when implicit UVs are missing. Chapter 05: The UVW Mapping Modifier How to use the UVW Mapping Modifier Chapter 06: "Linking" The UVW Gizmo How to "link" the UVW Modifiers Gizmo to another scene object for special effects work. Chapter 07: The Bitmap Coordinates Rollout How to use the 2D/Bitmap Coordinates Rollout in conjunction with an objects UVs to control how the Bitmap/2D images is applied. Chapter 08: The Unwrap UVW Modifier A brief introduction to the Unwrap UVW Modifier .			Chapter 09: Procedural Textures What are Procedural Textures? Chapter 10: World Space How to map procedural textures using the World Space Coordinate System. Chapter 11: Object Space How to map procedural textures using Object Space Coordinate System Chapter 12: UVW Space How to map procedurals using UVW space and also how to lock procedurals to deforming mesh surfaces using UV mapping. Chapter 13: Special Mapping Types A brief introduction to "special" procedural mapping types. Chapter 14: Procedural Coordinates Rollout How to work with the corresponding procedural coordinates rollout. Chapter 15: Applied Mapping Applying what we have learnt in the previous chapters to a real world model .

Customer Feedback

I purchased your training DVD on UV Mapping and Texturing and it's really working just great for me, and the quality is excellenr, thank you so much!
