While I do try to cover every part of the tools and techniques we use throughout the course, this is not a Mari or Maya fundamentals course, and some prior knowledge of working with 3D software is recommended.

#DELTACAD TEXTURING HOW TO#

My hope for this course is to leave you with a thorough understanding of how to paint and shade CG skin for any type of character, as well as the confidence to both apply and adjust the workflow to whatever personal or professional project you undertake going forward as a character artist. This way of painting textures is one that I use on a daily basis as a senior visual effects artist, and is filled to the brim with techniques that I have personally used on anything from small local commercials to Hollywood blockbuster feature films. We will delve deep into both the technical aspects of the workflow, as well as the creative thought process behind our decisions, making sure to explain not only the "how" but also the "why" of we use these techniques. This course will take you through the entire process from A to Z, teaching you a production proven workflow for creating skin textures and building skin shaders used by professional vfx artists in studios all around the world. Too often the creative process will grind to a halt due to either a technical problem or uncertainty of the best way to progress. I painted the colors first, then painted the lines and numerals on top in layers.When you first start out, the process of painting and shading skin in CG can be a daunting undertaking, riddled with both technical and artistical challenges.

#DELTACAD TEXTURING FULL SIZE#

I made a full size drawing of the sundial on Mylar plastic.I transferred the Delta Cad drawing to the wall like this: The cone is 2 inches wide at the base and about 4" tall and is screwed to an anchor bolt on the wall on top of a gold-plated brass star. We decided to custom-make a wide brass cone so that the shadow is wide, like the hands of a clock. The sundial measures 44 x 92 inches (1.12m x 2.33m), declines 4.53 degrees east of south. This does affect the sharpness of the shadow a tiny bit, but it's not too bad. I see now why the sundial artists in Europe often replaster a wall with a smooth texture before painting! But the owners did not want a smooth surface because rough texture is artistically pleasing.

I could not use painters tape because of the bumps, so everything had to be painted free hand. Painting fine details by hand on textured stucco is a real pain and very difficult. The wall surface is rough textured stucco and the paint I used is elastomeric acrylic house paint. I designed it using Zonwvlak2000, Delta Cad, and Photoshop Elements. It features a solid brass gold-plated conical gnomon on a gold-plated star. It is above a porch door at a private home in Tucson Arizona USA.
