Digital Tutors - Texture Painting in Maya and Photoshop

Duration 2h 45m Project Files Included MP4

No matter what type of asset you are creating, after the modeling has been completed and the UVs have been laid out, its time to begin painting textures. For many artists, Photoshop is the primary place for this step.This training will explore how Maya and Photoshop work together to create and apply

textures to our assets. To get started, we?ll first learn how to apply a material to our asset inside of Maya. From here we will export our geometry and bring it into Photoshop?s 3D workspace for texturing, where we will paint a diffuse and specular map.
