3DVIA TV: Texturing Fundamentals

One of the best ways to create realistic 3D models is by incorporating good textures. Textures can make a model more realistic, by adding details which would be impossible as part of the geometry. This is a tutorial on the basics of texture mapping.

This video details the texturing functions within 3DVIA Shape, but these fundamentals could be used within all 3D modeling applications.

Cliff aquires some help in this video from one of our favorite user submitted (textured) models: Texturesaurus-Rex.

Check out the Video and try it now!

The Doctor of 3D Models is "IN"

I went to see Dr. Polycount, THE Doctor of 3D Models. I needed some expert advice on how to clean up my 3D models, to make them smaller, cleaner, and more efficient. With advanced computing power, and internet speeds, we still need our 3D models is their top shape when used on the web and real-time environments (i.e. gaming). Dr. Polycount goes over five common problems with my models, and the cures. 3D modelers of all levels can benefit from Dr. Polycount’s advice in this video.


See how you too can pass the Doctors Checkup!
