Title: FXPHD – MYA225 Technical & Artistic Aspects of Texturing

Info:

This course will cover all the aspects for the high resolution texturing of a vehicle, in this instance a war-rig truck, featured in a movie as a hero asset, designed for close-ups.

Artist Alban Orlhiac will start by looking at artistic concerns and colour approach to determine how should a heavily-weathered, dusted up vehicle roaming the deserts that has seen lots of action be painted. From the base paint coat of its earlier and fresher life to the grimy, rusty and oily looks showing the passage of time and a high mileage.

This course will take you through a full review of UV optimization for close-up requirements in shots, reference gathering and colour palette composition to the full texturing in multiple layers using Photoshop and advanced tools and methods in Mari.
