Texturing with Maya

Textures are what turn a blank canvas model into a realistic looking 3D object. Our Introduction To Texturing tutorial provides a detailed guide to the craft of creating realistic textures.

Using supplied source files we cut straight to the action, showing you how professional artists use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate photographs and create brushes and layers suitable for use in Maya.

We then explain the different types of texture and their effects, including specularity, bump, translucency and reflectivity. At the end of the course you’ll know how to create realistic textures to represent all types of surfaces, from skin to aluminum.
