Lick of paint update

A few hours playing around with the base colour gave me this.

Its mainly Bodypaint with some Photoshop loving and I will need to work on things like bump and specular but the mail colour map is coming on well.

And on that note i’m off to sleepski…

I started texturing a cube a while back as a test of what I could do with some of the tools in Bodypaint. It kind of grew into more of a exercise in discipline as it took more time to finish than I thought but in the end it has also helped me learn how to render in a linear fashion. I’ve setup a colour correction workflow to help adjust the gamma of my renders to make the final image closer to the texture colours I create with bodypaint or Photoshop.

Following a tutorial I found I now have a colour correction pass with a gamma of 2.2 and place all materials inside a filter with gamma set to 0.455. The final image doesn’t need colour correction and the lark/light areas of the render are more balanced.

More bodypaint loving

So while everyone in the UK was watching the apprentice, I was texturing a primitive cube. Take that Sir Alan! I bet he is crying right now about me not watching. Mwahahahaha

Party I wanted to have a go at something simple but also I wanted something to keep my mind busy while I think about this next one.

For the 3dworld mag Challenge which is underwater ruins and I’ve got a solid idea of where I am heading with this.

First part of texturing the model. I’ve unwrapped some of the side panels and then started to paint on. I think I may have got a bit carried away with the damage but I can cover up much of it later if need be.

Updated test render. The mapping is working properly now and i’m building the textures up. The base metal is finished and I will dirty it up once it’s textured.
