Learning to Texture for Games

- Hi, I'm Adam Crespi, and welcome to Texturing for Games in Maya, Mudbox, and Photoshop. In this course, we'll look at techniques for painting textures for games. We'll start out with painting textures by hand in Photoshop, beginning with the diffuse, and then adding specular, and then normal maps. We'll create normals from grayscale bumps. Then I'll show you how to enhance your normal maps, painting directly in the normal channels. We'll see how to create textures from hi-res models in Maya, rendering using Mental Ray, and crafting textures including occlusion, normal, specular, and diffuse.

We'll be covering all these features plus plenty of other tools and techniques. Now let's get started with Texturing for Games in Maya, Mudbox, and Photoshop.
