This can make visualising the texture as you make it in 2D software very difficult, sometimes leading you to have to save it out multiple times to view it on your 3D mesh to see your progress. Note the strange shape of the features and outline. Example of a head that has been UV unwrapped in 3DS Max.
For example, when a human head is unwrapped you often end up with a butterfly like shape. When a model is UV unwrapped the surface of the model can often be warped into a strange shape in order to avoid as much distortion of the UVs as possible. So you want to make absolutely sure that you get this essential part of the 3D process done to the highest possible standard. This allows you to add finer details to smaller areas of your texture easier as they may be hard to find if you do a 2D unwrap with software like Adobe Photoshop.Īlso worth noting that texturing your model is one of the most important steps in making your 3D artwork look more lifelike, or to add your own unique style to the final piece. The advantage of 3D painting over traditional texturing methods is you can see how the texture looks on your model in real time. The main software for 3D painting is Adobe’s Substance Painter 2 and Pixologic’s Zbrush. This is a similar process to 2D painting but requires knowledge of texturing and working with 3D assets. That means if you buy something we get a small commission at no extra cost to you( learn more)ģD painting is when you paint a texture straight onto a 3D model.
Once I have printed these myself, I will add presupported files, and photos of them in use.Tips 3D Written by Thomas Denham Disclosure: This post may contain affiliate links. If there's a size you are interested in, let me know, and I can add it to the collection. The size they are for is listed on the inside of the cap. These swatch caps will at 7mm to the height, and 2-3mm to the diameter of any pot they are attached to.Īll swatches are 24mm across, and 6mm deep allowing for consistent comparison across the swatches. The example pieces are fully recessed, so can be placed on flat surfaces without risk of rubbing or tipping, allowing them to be used on the bottom of paint bottles and pots as a base. With a small selection of rocks and skulls providing a good variety of depths and shapes to provide an example of the paint in the pot. This is a collection of cheap and cheerful caps / bases for assorted paint bottles and pots.
