Learn to Unwrap and Texture a Stylized Character for Games

在本课程中，Ryan Ribot 我们将教授必要的技能，为游戏制作准备和手绘 3D 角色。首先，他将专注于设置拓扑和 UV 的过程，因为这是作为纹理艺术家理解的重要过程。在此之后，真正的乐趣开始了：我们将深入了解肤色以及渲染体积和颜色变化的简单原则，最后，我们将了解其他材料，如木材、皮革和布料。所有这些都将使用 3D Coat、Photoshop 和 Maya 的组合完成，最终输出在 Marmoset 2 中。

Description
In this course, Ryan Ribot we will be teaching the necessary skills to prepare and hand paint a 3D Character for game production. To begin, he will focus on the process of setting up topology and UVs, as this is an important process to understand as a texture artist. Following this, the real fun begins: we will dive right into skin tones and simple principles of rendering volume and color variations, and finally, we will learn about other materials such as wood, leather, and cloth to close out with. All of this will be done using a combination of 3D Coat, Photoshop and Maya, with a final output in Marmoset 2.
