I'm sure ive asked something simular to this before, But i'll get to the point:
I cant UV Map to save my life or Texture (I know it takes time ) But is there any DVD's/Tutorials Based around this ? I dont care how much it costs
I use 3Ds Max By the way
Thank you very much !

here are a few.

I would also suggest that you just browse through the free texturing tutorials at 3dtotal, there are a ton of good ones there and it could potentially save you some cash.

yea I would highly recommend the Eat3D texturing one, not only is it awesome but for the next week if you buy it, you get the old damaged pillar dvd for free too.

I recommend the Eat3D one also, great information for a beginner and it teaches good habits for workflow as well.

I'll add my recommendation for Eat3D. You're well on your way if you learn from them. They are relevant to current pipelines and well done.

Yeah bro, the eat3d is good. But it's the damaged pillar one that goes over unwrapping in max, I don't remember the texturing dvd going over unwrapping, I could be wrong though.

Along with eat3d's old damage pillar and this free vid here...

You'll be on your way, the free vid at game-artist.com is great check it out man!

Eat 3D has a deal until this sunday that if you buy the Next Gen Texturing Vid you get the Old Damaged Pilar for free. Pretty sweet imo

Thanks for posting this everyone! I noticed there was an increase in traffic to the site because of this thread.

Im personally very hard at work on the next big video and It will be the best yet. As soon as I can I will post a thread with some pretty images and stuff like that.

Once again, thanks polycount community. You have been there since the beginning helping us grow into what you see today!

Thanks alot everyone! Keep them coming ;)

That 2 for 1 vid deal is too good to pass up... hopefully I get some nice little bits of information from these, as everyone seems to like them a lot.

I ran into the "mudbox head sculpting" on eat3d, then I followed the link to the youtube vids. Riki do you know how long I've been searching for a sculpting/anatomy vid like this?!?!? You guys need to make a full body sculpting/anatomy vid, with "Artistic anatomy theory" cuz that is the one thing every single character sculpting dvd out there doesn't have. Man, I'd be the first one on a pre-order list.

Hi Autospy,

You are in luck because Rod is working on exactly what you describe. It may not come out for a couple months because of his schedule but hes already mostly done with it.

Check out what he does in the video.

So Riki, Whats this DVD you are working on ? Any images ? ^_^

-Thanks alot

Im working on something that will be my best yet. I promise to post some images very soon, like a week. It will be like the pillar but much more ambitious and split into 3 dvd. The high res dvd comes out first and will be epic!

Will we have to buy all the DVD's Seperate xD ?

Yeah but you dont understand. Each video will be completely self sufficient and crazy in depth.

For example, the raw capture of this first DVD is over 20 hours..Im editing like crazy now and its taking some time. Removing alot of mistakes and stuff like that.

So its not like Im cutting corners to make a buck. Dont forget that its my goal to demonstrate sculpting everything twice, once in mudbox 2009 and once in zbrush 3.1.

Expect a purchase ;)

Sounds fantastic Riki. Can't wait to get a hold of them all. Thanks for all of your effort.

Man that is a beautiful sculpt! Hopefully it comes out sooner than later.

I have a question about your set. Is it zbush + 2 dvds. Mudbox + 2 dvds or zbrush + Mudbox + 1 dvd? Or is it 1 sculpting dvd with both software + 2 dvds?

Lol, sorry I'm just confused as to how this is going to work. Whatever route you take, it's ganna be sick, I know it!

that deal to get the pillar vid when you pirchase the texturing vid was way too good to pass up. going to be spending allot of time on these in the next few weeks. saw these a while ago but didn't think i had the time. going to make the time now. Thanks for posting the link durring the deal.

@Autospy
The plan is all in 1 DVD, though it may be multiple discs. Im still editing and havent gotten that far yet but Im getting close.

Cannot wait !

Wow good timing for me, I was just thinking of picking up some tutorials to help me learn. I just might have to grab this when I get some dough.

Also can anyone recommend some DVDs on creating characters? (sorry for the semi-thread hijack) I was thinking of picking this one up....

For sculpting I recommend any of Zack Petroc's DVDs, but specifically this one for Male anatomy - http://www.thegnomonworkshop.com/sto...-Human-Anatomy

Also can anyone recommend some DVDs on creating characters?
