PART 26: Texture templating done! Next step


After paint coating the models and photopainting the models body finally we got a clean basic texture templates ready for detailed texturering and decoration. But i have to put another step that is UV mapping first to map or wrap the texture on the models body meshes. This need to be accurately place properly. A good UV mapping will produce smooth proper reflection surface when shiny render are projected on real 3d scene generated by either game engine or the 3d program itself. On the texture there are 7 panels on the models need to be UV mapped. Normal modeler just simply mapped it using grid style, i'm however using point to point wireframe mapping which is 100% more accurate then conventional UV mapping with is good for variable texture sizing shift when other modeler try to convert this models into various texture size and resolution. Ok lets get on with it!...

Looking for high resolution monitor around the house

Before i proceed with the 3d & texture modelling task i decided to look around the house for spare monitor because I decided to work on 2048x2048 texture resolution for this new 3d models for UV and texturering work... and this current SAMSUNG monitor doesn't give enough screen desktop workspace size to work on it, ever since BENQ LCD blew up i've used various LCD and CRT monitor around the house. Well there are lots of choices of monitor around but everyone of them offer different feature which normal user or modeler took it lightly.For me CRT monitor always the best to work on high resolution texture and texture detailing works. However i can also use notebook but the problem is its on ATI graphics!..lame!...ATI gpu really bad at rendering, the colors are to much vibrant and unrealistic. I didn't say ATI was bad but its only suit for games graphics which more like something on Nintendo console or DS. Hey no argue, i trashed and toasted lots of cards and trust me this is an opnion from experienced user..me.
