This is our final set of lessons in the creature series by Jason Edwards. Here we'll take you through UV mapping of the creature using different techniques. We start by covering some simple UV mapping and rapidly move on to show you some of the ways it's done in a professional fast-paced studio. Even if you're an old hand at UV mapping the first parts of this video may be a eye opener for you. We then move on to ZBrush where we show various ways of quickly texturing an entire character in ZBrush. Textures created include a diffuse color, a spec/reflection map, a normal map, and finally a displacement map. The final two parts of the video take us back into Maya. Here we show you how to set up the maps you generated in ZBrush on a Mental Ray material.
