In this video instructor Tyson Murphy will show you the creation process for low poly weapons with a strong emphasis on hand painted texture maps. He’ll begin by modeling a sword in Maya 2011. Then he will show the unwrapping process and then take you step by step through the texturing workflow of hand painted, stylized textures for both a sword and a shield in Photoshop. This video will serve as a complete overview of a hand painted workflow and will introduce artists familiar with Photoshop into the world of hand painted texturing.

In this series of tutorials, we will talk about the steps that we went through in order to build the character and weapon models for our Unity mobile game project. We will start by referencing our game document, which will be our guide through the process of creating our Unity game. We can find information on the look of our models but also on the desired resolutions of the models and textures. We will concentrate on creating game topology for our two characters and two weapon models. We will also cover map generation and texture painting as part of the process. In the end we will have models ready to be rigged and animated or plugged directly into the game engine. We will use a variety of software packages from Maya, to TopoGun, to ZBrush and Mudbox in order to prepare our assets so there will be a lot of back and forth. This course references some pre-made assets and covers methods for modifying and prepping those assets for this particular game. In most of these cases, if you'd like to learn to build these assets from start to finish, there is a tutorial that will fill your need. For instance, in this course we look at the steps we went through to modify the biker character from Creating High Resolution Characters in ZBrush 4 and Creating Game Characters with Maya 2011 and ZBrush 4. So if you'd like to build the character from scratch, those two courses will take you through the process. The same goes for the enemy tick creature, which is from the Introduction the Mudbox 2011, and the assault rifle from Creating Next-Gen Game Assets in Maya.

In this series of tutorials, we will walk through all the steps taken in Mari to texture a low polygon, sci-fi rifle for use in a game engine. We will start by learning how to setup our Mari project and bring in a normal map that was created when the weapon was modeled.

We will start by learning how to setup our Mari project and bring in a normal map that was created when the weapon was modeled. From here we will focus on the creation of three additional types of maps. With diffuse color being so important, most of our time will be spent here focusing not only on base colors but also on dirt and scratches.

Building on the popularity and usefulness of Texture Toolkit 1 - and all of its successors - we decided to take the Texture Toolkit product line back to the essentials with Texture Toolkit Collection 6: The Essentials 2. These 650 super high-resolution textures are a unique collection consisting of any style you could ever want in a texture. From subtle and sophisticated to fun, funky patterns, this collection has it all! So no matter what look or feel you want in your projects, there will always be a texture to help you out. If youve ever looked at a blank canvas in Photoshop, After Effects, or even in PowerPoint or your video editor, and not known what to do or where to start, the textures in Texture Toolkit 6 were created just for you. Delivered at a maximum resolution of 4000 x 4000 pixels, most of these textures are seamless in all directions and many have a built in alpha so they can be layered on top of images or video for unique effects.

The desire to create pattern and ornament is as old as the human race. In its earliest form, this kind of art was mankinds first step in the search for meaning. The human brain is hardwired to see pattern and repeating forms in almost everything it views because it craves the creation of order from chaos. With this newest collection of 1000 design patterns we have married texture and pattern to create a unique library of beautifully intricate seamlessly repeating design patterns in a wide range of styles, from subtle to bold and geometric to fluid.

Building on the popularity and usefulness of the first four Texture Toolkits, Texture Toolkit Collection 5: Real World takes the super high resolution seamless texture to a whole new level of realism with 800 unique examples of photorealistic real-world materials - producing a genuine, organic, tactile look and feel for this collection. From the smooth, sleek and shiny to the broken, hard and gritty aspects of the real world, this collection will force you to face reality like nothing else can. And you now have the ability to bring this reality to your productions like never before.

For years one of the secret weapons used by Digital Juice artists and animators has been our custom collection of seamless textures. Now for the first time, were letting this treasure trove of possibilities leave home. If youve ever looked at a blank canvas in Photoshop, After Effects, or even in PowerPoint and not known what to do or where to start, the more than 1000 super high-resolution textures in the Texture Toolkit collection are designed just for you. Delivered at a maximum resolution of 4000 x 4000 pixels, most of these textures are also seamless in all directions and many have a built in alpha so they can be layered on top of other images for unique effects.

The military-industrial complex proves an unlikely arena for plucky individualism in this history of the men who built Americas intercontinental ballistic missile program in the 1950s and 60s. Sheehan paints air force Gen. Bernard Schriever and his colorful band of military aides, civilian patrons, defense intellectuals and aerospace entrepreneurs as a guerrilla insurgency fighting Pentagon red tape, and a hostile air force brass, led by Strategic Air Command honcho Curtis LeMay, who advocated megatonnage bomber planes over ICBMs. Sheehan gives a fascinating run-down of the engineering challenges posed by nuclear missiles, but the main action consists of bureaucratic intrigues, procurement innovations and epic briefings that catch the presidents ear and open the funding spigots. Like the authors Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award-winning A Bright Shining Lie, this is a saga of underdog visionaries struggling to redirect a misguided military juggernaut, this time successfully: the author credits Schrievers missiles with keeping the peace and jump-starting the space program and satellite industry. Sheehans focus on personal initiative and human-scale dramas lends an overly romantic cast to his study of cold war policy making and the arms race, but it makes for an engrossing read.
