Texturing with Maya

Our Texturing with Maya tutorials show you how to add textures to base models and turn skinned wireframes into realistic objects.

Learn how to use Adobe Photoshop to manipulate photographs and create brushes and layers ready to use in Maya, just like the professionals do.

Next, we show you how different combinations of specularity, bump, translucency and reflectivity are used to emulate the qualities of different surfaces, from skin to aluminium.

At the end of the course you will have learned all the key skills you need to confidently create textures of any kind.
