Need Your help with Turtle Textures:
« on: May 06, 2004, 03:58:16 pm »
Hello to all you Artists / Texturers,
I am making a turtle model for CS (hopefully) & I need your help making textures for it.

I am horrible with drawing/painting textures & am asking someone to give me turtle art for use in PS only.

Top/Bottom Artwork would be best for texturing, I will do all the texture maps & post them here. Textures will only be used for PS models / Modeling tutorial for Cal3D I am making (for PS Community).

Screenshots of the model:

More info about it here: Intro & About Cal3D:

What do you think of the model?

Ok, This is my First Texture Map, I hope it is good enough,

Feel Free to change it & or Change the model.
I split it up into 3 meshes to (maybe make it easier to texture?)

Never done this before, anyways Dl the zip that contains .3ds .uvw & a .max that has all the stuff too. I used 3DsMax4, I hope it is compatible with whatever you use to texture with?

Is this what you needed?

Yeah you will not wanting to be doing 3 seperate textures for such a simple character.  Try combining the UV\'s into one set.  I\'ll try to do it myself on the mesh if I have any time.

Also there is a cool MAX script for a certain method of UV mapping you can get here: http://www.chilliweb.co.uk/chilliskinner/ along with plenty of tutorials how to use it.  After some practice with it, I find it can help you get high quality UV\'s in a short amount of time, though it depends on the model and how good you are at setting it up.

Wow Thanks!

I think it\'s looking great! I will definitely put you in the tutorial, after this is textured (take your time if you need to.) then I will start writing the tutorial on how Cal3D likes things & how to test your models in the Cally Demo for Oroger to put on WoW.

Oh & Btw, the head looks great! The hole mesh @ this point has 596 (MaxFaces/Tri).
If the devs are going to use it, then Is it ok to change some colors in your textures a little so we can have different colors like red in addition? I would think it gives more versatility to the model & is easily done in Photoshop? :]

It looks good. I would add moss-like highlights to the shell but that is probably a finishing touch you would do later?
I love this picture of this poor turtle:

Moss: :] Great work!

Edit: *Thinks you may want to include a texture map file in the zip above :)*

I was Browsing around my New 3DsMax6 (I just got today!) & found this:
http://www.geocities.com/zeraphsimagehost/?turtibyebye.jpg
(I can show much better pictures if I use Yahoo Geocities as a Host?)

I think that is a real turtle but I am not sure? I think the shell pattern I think it is real, the texture was sort of going in more of this direction from the looks of it, but it would be nice to have a Sea Turtle texture instead of this one?

Anyone have a free Image host that will allow more then 25kb images?
