normal maps tutorial

UVing fun

Spent this morning working out the UV mapping. Found some useful links which are now posted in a category called tutorials on my blog link list. I thought id start by trying out some sheets of paper and creating the textures for them. Not looking too bad I think so i mite try the table next. Theres also a link in my tutorials for normal mapping which im going to try out

screen grab

heres the left leg joint weighted. This is a mere visual reference so i can mirror this after ferhan has altered the rigg and also for my technical reference

painting some weights

Sorted out a bit of the weights for the left leg. Ended up opening a previous file with Fuzzy101 before he binded the skeleton to the mesh and lowering down the leg hip joints and this is what I ended up with after painting the left leg weights. looking better so the plan is that ferhan puts the blend shapes on the rigg and then i spend a day painting the weights as i feel it is achievable.

Peace
