In this video tutorial series I am going to teach anyone with no experience how to use the industry standard texturing software: Mari. In this first part we will learn the project system and UI of Mari, how to get around in the 3d Viewport and more! Join me in Part 2 (coming in the next couple of days) to learn how to use the Paint Buffer - Subscribe to hear when it's released.

In Part 3 of this hard surface asset texturing series I texture the camera in Mari. In this video I go through the process of texturing this model in Mari going through how I approach assets in the software and how I got the result you can see in the final render. You can get the model for free on Gumroad below, and also you can get all the source files, textures and unnarrated videos start to finish there too if you want a more indepth look at how I went about texturing this camera.

In Part 2 of this hard surface asset texturing series I texture the camera in Substance. In this video I go through the process of texturing this model in Substance Painter going through how I approach assets in the software and how you can use Substance Designer to aid you. You can get the model for free on Gumroad below, and also you can get all the source files, textures and unedited videos start to finish there too if you want a more indepth look at how I went about texturing this camera.
Part 1 of this new series focuses on the creation of proper UVs in Maya to use for texturing. UVs are often overlooked or rushed by people by that makes a texturer's job much harder than it needs to be. Good, clean UVs are the best :)

All too often I am asked - What do I need to know to be a texture artist? Do I need to know Mari? Is Substance Painter enough in VFX? Well, let's answer those questions and more by comparing the differences between the two pieces of software, the pros and cons and my definitive advice for what to know to get a job as a texture artist.

Arnold, Arnie, A-dawg. It's time to learn how to hook up the textures we created in the previous video into a shader in the Hypergraph. In this video I go through everything you need to know to get your textures into Maya's Arnold and rendered, the tips and tricks that can catch you out and how to do some basic lookdev inside you shaders.

Following on from the ZBrush sculpting of these fish in my last video I decided to do a quick 2 day texture and lookdev. Using Mari I got some okay results given the timeframe and recorded the whole process along the way. Rather than explain every node I use I will explain my general process of what I'm doing. If you do have any specific questions leave them in the comments!
This video is that sped up footage with me talking over it explaining what I'm doing, my process and more. While I touch on the Arnold side of the lookdev I am thinking of doing a separate video setting up a lookdev and render scene from scratch for these guys. Let me know if that would be of some use!

In this Introduction to Sculpting in Zbrush 2020 video, I go over everything you need to know to get started using the software and sculpting your own creatures. I go through all the features (see list below!) and then have a timelapse at the end of me sculpting an organic creature - a goldfish - using Dynamesh, ZRemesher and all the other tools I've taught in this tutorial. Download the fish zbrush scene and model here: https://gumroad.com/michaelwildevfx
Features I cover in this video: * Importing an object * Subtools * Subdividing * Sculpting & Brushes * Alphas * Materials * Masking * Dynamesh * Zremesher * UV Master * & a creature sculpting demo! [starts at 29:01]
See my intro the Zbrush UI video here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuq8p...
This video is for people that are fairly new to texturing or want a refresher on what certain channels and map do for an object. From the very basics of looking at texture reference we go through every single channel you usually come across, what those maps usually look like and how to create them yourself.
If your a beginner when it comes to texture or just want a refresher then this video is for you. Texturing can be quite a complex subject so I try and break it down as simply as possible into the basics of the theory behind it.
Oh boy, it's a long one! Recently Allegorithmic held a texturing contest called Meet Mat 2 and I thought that was a great opportunity to jump back into Substance Painter 2019 and Substance Designer. In this video we recreate my original textures, which took 2 days, from scratch in a much shorter time. Along the way we will cover new Substance Painter 2019 features like proper displacement and realtime Subsurface Scattering in the shaders. In this first part of two we create the base ceramic material and the gold.
Substance Painter Topics covered include:
-Disp & SSS in shaders
-Instancing Materials
-Working with UDIMs in Substance
-Blend Modes
-Making Materials
-Importing Resources
-Using Filters
-Texture Projection Modes
This tutorial is great beginners new to substance or people just starting out that want to see how assets are textured. The second part will be uploaded in a few days and includes other topics like smart mask construction.
