Maya for 3D Printing - Rapid Prototyping
In this course we're going to look at something a little different, creating technically accurate 3D printed parts.

Beast - Help Needed for Material
This is a prehistoric beast i'm working on. It's still not finished.
I need some help in creating material for this one. I'm looking for dinosaur look ( with scales and stripes). Need help.

) the feet dont really work, I would make this animal a hooved animal like a horse or a cow. maybe even cloven like a goat.As far as the texturing goes. what do you want to do? procedural or painted? or even a mix of the two?
what i would do is collect some materials from somewhere like https://www.imageafter.com and get some nice natural looking stuff. I was told by the lead texture artist at WETA that elephant skin works brilliantly for stuff like this.

Although you could always use the painted map to control a procedural texture......

Which projection is more suitable for this model. planar or auto or cylinder. I guess it becomes easy to paint if i use planar.
'll post a render soon.

I agree with traveler, painting must be the way to go. Maya's painttool can sometime be a bit heavy to work with. If you need to work a bit faster you might want to consider a software called "deep paint" with the additional "texture weapons" - works really nicely.
Also, if you UV's are layed out nicely you can grab a screendumb from your UV-editor , bring it into photoshop and paint your textures there (it's not a fantastic solution, but it's fast and it works

They have a few skin textures, maybe you'll find something that fits what you need.
Good luck, let me know any progress!

downloaded reptile shader from alias. but the problem is when i convert it to file textures .... the output is different from the shader. The bump and colors doesn't seem like the one in the shader.
i tried tweaking the 'convert to FIle textture' options but there's not much improvement.
here's the pic with shader

As soon as I get to texturing my dragon, if I make any useful discovery I will surely let you know. In the meantime, if you crack the texture problem, post updates!
