CGCookie - Fundamentals of Texturing in Blender 2.7

https://cgcookie.com/courses/fundamentals-of-texturing

• Textures are 2D images that are designed to influence a 3D model's appearance. Whether it's simply to add color to a model like one would paint a clay sculpture, or to govern a specific material attribute, textures can be generated and painted by hand with Blender's built-in tools. The texture process begins with addressing a model's UV coordinates. UVs are the mechanism by which a 2D image is transposed on to a 3D model. It's an art form in itself to layout these coordinates to maximize texel density (amount of texture pixels utilized) while minimizing stretching (disproportion between the model and its UV's). After UV's are established, textures can be painted by hand using a Wacom pen and tablet. Textures can also be generated by "baking" geometric data into image texture format. Alternatively textures can be painted with an external application and easily brought back into Blender.

https://thegnomonworkshop.com/tutorials/superhero-concept-design-for-film-tv

Duration: 2h 45m | Format: HD 1920x1080

• Learn how to create professional-quality superhero concept art for film and TV with this 2.5-hour workshop by Luca Nemolato. Guiding you through his tried-and-tested workflow for creating impressive character designs worthy of blockbuster movies, Luca shares his process and the personal techniques that he’s been refining over many years of working professionally for the entertainment industry.
• This intermediate-level workshop starts out in Daz Studio where Luca experiments with and establishes a pose for his character. This base model is then a foundational asset to take into ZBrush where all the resculpting work and detailing of the anatomy can take place. Luca shares his tips and tricks for sculpting superhero proportions in ZBrush with believable results.
• From there, the work continues in Photoshop where Luca reveals how to sketch 2D designs over a rough KeyShot render of the 3D character to explore costume ideas. After designing a few options, the strongest is taken back into ZBrush as a reference, where Luca sculpts the detail and finalizes the overall design in 3D. Once satisfied with the character’s final look and proportions, Marvelous Designer is brought into the mix to help create a realistic, layered cape as the finishing touch for Luca’s superhero, Paladin.
• As the last step in the workflow, Luca renders the final image using KeyShot. Here, he shares his personal techniques for creating knitted material fabric effects and textures, before returning to Photoshop for the final compositing, digital painting, and post-production work.
