Escape Studios: July's Free Tutorial - Free Tutorial: Paint Effects in Maya And How to 'Bed' Models in Backplates

 

Escape  Studios  another great tutorials  this time they  will  teach a how paint effects can be used to embed CG models into backplate environments simply and effectively.

What's in this Tutorial?
First off, we'll take a look at paint effects and will explain how you can paint onto geometry. In order to do this, you’ll need to understand the importance of an object's UV which we will discuss as well. You'll then learn how to access a host of preset paint effect brushes that you can find in Maya. In this tutorial I will be showing you the rather unusual Popcorn brush to help simulate a rocky landscape. These presets are often a great starting point for most projects, and I'll show you can customise brushes through brush attributes.
