About UV mapping & texturing
Hello,
I am interested in honing my UV mapping & texturing skills. I am more interested in hard surface UV layouts rather than organic. I would like to jump to the UV layout & texturing phase instead of modeling the scene objects. Please let me know if the following tutorials come with downloadable 3d models of (scene files) or do I have to model them from scratch. 1.The Med Lab - Asking about the room environment not the character 2.3D Exterior Set Design - Fantasy Landscape 3.Haunted House 4.The Complete Sand Speeder Project 5.The Spitfire Once I know that the models will be available for download, then I can buy only the specific modules ( lessons/ chapters ) that deal with UV laying & texturing....that way I can better optimize my budget & time. Thank you. |
Check out the resources section for some available models: http://simplymaya.com/autodesk-maya-.../rid/1/page/0/
Or are you specifically interested in the UV mapping tutorials. |
Looking specifically for tutorials.
Thanks for asking. |
Go the Spitfire...Im sure it comes with the model mate...if not just holler and you can have mine....
cheers bullet |
They should come with scene files in all of these

Sorry I missed this post, there's no scene files for The Med Lab or Fantasy Landscape they're some of the oldest tutorials on the site. I'll have a look for the scene files for The Spitfire and Haunted House because I think we have them on the site but I'm not 100 percent sure.
Regardless, I think the best tutorial of these when it comes to learning UV and texturing would be The Sand Speeder there's a lot more texture painting in the other ones whereas in that one you'd pick up more in terms of various techniques. The scene files are in part 1 of the tutorial and UV layout starts in part 10 so I added a couple of points to your account so you can check it out for yourself. Cheers, Nilla |

Hello Nilla, Thanks for the info & also so much for the points. I just bought the SandSpeeder videos. :) About the haunted house, please let me know if you could find the model. I would love to UV & texture paint the haunted house project as well. Also, by chance if you could find the spitfire also. Thank you again, I appreciate all the help. bullet1968: Thanks for the offer, man! Do you think you could upload the spitfire in the resources section? Sincere appreciation. |

no worries mate...here you go. All UV is layed out ready to go. The model isnt super good but it was my first plane LOL. Just give the whole model a new lambert material then take a new snapshot in the UV editor. Save that mate then import into PS or whatever and paint away!!!! My newer Spitfire is MUCH better but I havent finished it yet LOL. When I have finished the new Spitfire I will upload that model into the resources...it will be a while though...I want this new one to be as good as Jay or Pixals planes (I wish LOL). Here is the link to my new model.....

bullet1968 : Thank you so much for the instant response.
I have downloaded the model & will work on it tomorrow. :) |
Miss_Nova : Hey Nilla, I am also interested in "The Complete Apache Helicopter Project " & was wondering if the model will be provided (scene file) so I can follow along UVing , texturing, compositing etc. Meaning I can buy all the videos after the modeling phase.
Thanks in advance. :) |
