I understand we're supposed to make our own textures. But what about using images from the web in the creation of those textures. i.e. downloading wood panelling for a wood texture?

how to open .objs?
how does one open the .obj file in Maya 7 on a MAC? I get an "urecognized format" error message when trying to import the file [which shows up as a .txt icon on my desktop even after changing the extension to .obj].

sure you can go get photo sources for your textures. I'd recomend trying to avoid simply taking photos from the web and slapping them on your model as-is.
I don't have a Mac so I'm not sure about your problem abstainer. Can you "Save File As..." on a Mac and save it straight to your computer as an .obj? You may need to turn on the .obj plug in in Maya under Window > Settings/Preferences > Plug-in Manager |
figured it out...had to use Firefox browser and then did have to add that plug-in...thanks!

Hmm, IÕm thinking about joining the challenge next month. Do they rotate from Modeling and Texturing every month? :confused:
|
no, the challenges don't follow any kind of order. This one just started, why not join in now? :)

BTW, are there any other challenges besides the Modeling and Texturing? |

If not for the sake of winning, at least do it for the sake of learning. :D |
We also just moved into a new house, and schoolÕs ending this month, so IÕll be much more busy this month than usual.

Make my own textures? I don't think I like you anymore Mike (hehe). Just kidding, will be good for me. Thanks for the info.

Final image
What should the final image be like?
Must we do a render of the model textured standing on e.g. a Grey plane or should we do a full scene, posing the character in a better pose and portray some action? |
either way is fine, present the model and textures the best you can.
|
No.
We have had animation, dynamics etc... Maybe a cloth challenge next month. |
a cloth challenage would be very hard to set up as it really is verson depedent. Not everyone has the full version of maya, and if they do, it might be 8.5 which now has ncloth which is alot different than maya cloth (and a lot easier).
even if it was a syflex challenage it does not surport any verson of maya under 6.5 and as yet no 8.5 surport. Don`t think we`ll ever get a cloth challenge really going here. its been awhile scene a animate challenage was set !!! |
thank you man
