Mari for Beginners - 07: Channels & Exporting Textures

General / 22 January 2021


In this video I go through the final pieces of the puzzle in Mari, creating channels for your textures and exporting finished ones using the Export Manager. That really covers it all and brings the series to an end. Hopefully you now have a good enough knowledge of Mari to start creating your own kick-ass textures :D

Join me in Part 8 for a live stream where we texture a basic asset from start to finish. Best way to hear when it's going to happen is hit the bell button & follow on insta - I'll announce it a bit in advance.
