Create High Quality Texture Maps in a Natural 3D Painting Environment

Creating realistic texture maps across multiple 3D surfaces can be a difficult task using traditional texture mapping techniques in many 3D applications. Painting textures directly onto 3D geometry allows the artist to effectively tackle these more complex tasks. A 3D painting application, such as Maxon Bodypaint 3D, gives the artist the tools necessary to create high-quality texture maps in a more natural 3D painting environment.

This course advances beyond basic texture mapping techniques and focuses more on painting textures directly on 3D surfaces as well as exploring the fundamentals of the texture painting process.
