Maya Texturing Class : Game Barrel

 

Maya Texturing Class : Game Barrel

Texturing the barrel using one of Maya's game oriented materials was a good experience for understanding  how maps work within different types of rendering engines. The maps used where different however those that changes where similar to one previously with a few changes so understanding the new uses of these maps was easy.

On the technical side some of the thing we learnt where very useful and will be a big help later on when making my own texture maps, the main thing that comes to mind is the overlaying of the normal map in a way that lets us use multiple colour specific map.


Diffuse map


Normal map


Specular Map


This is how the barrel looks in view port after all the texture maps are applied, These maps create something that looks detailed and interacts with the light as if it is detailed while still only being very low Polly. this is so that game assets don't end up being information heavy and are able to run in real time, like in the viewport.

Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion

  Tool Kit 2: Ambient Occlusion  Rendering Ambient Occlusion maps was something I was aware of from first year however this tutorial went into more detail about the shader in Arnold and as such was a really useful tutorial. Not only for the creation of good AO passes but for the knowledge I could potentially use the shader to create different effects because of the versatility of the shader. The end of the tutorial showed us how to use the AO map when composing the image in after effects of photoshop, this is a easy step however at this point a style will be shown as people will pick different intensity's depending on there eye and the effect they want to make.
