Maya Texturing class: Substance 1

In this class we used substance painter to recreate the book textures we previously made in photoshop. like many of my piers I found the process of texturing in substance a lot simpler then photoshop, I have a fair bit of experience using substance painter and because of this I found the tutorial very easy to follow. using the textures Alan had made before as mask's made some of the more time intensive parts of the process none existent as the masks where made ready for us.

Exporting the textures into Maya is easy once you understand the map types and node system of Arnold, this whole session seemed very enjoyable and will be of great use moving forward. Due to substances photoshop - esk layer system I already have ideas on how to use this software to create more stylised effects for my animations.

Major Creature 4 Texturing

Major Creature 4 Texturing The texturing process is one I enjoy and feel confident in because of this I was able to sit through the process in a few days and generate the outcome. I came back to these textures a few days later to darken the textures over all once I saw then in Arnold. I also increased the level of dirt in the textures as they looked to clean.

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky

Tool Kit 2: Physical Sky In this tutorial I learnt about the physical sky in Arnold and how it can be used to easily mimic time of day when rendering exterior shots for animations. Using a variation of elevation, Turbidity, intensity and Azimuth you can create the different angles of sky light you would see in real life. Other settings that can be used to push a stylistic approach include sun tint, sky tint and sun size. These can be used to create strange effects that are stylised and aren't meant to look photo real. Day1. Mid Day. Morning/Evening. Foggy Day. Stylised Lighting.
