TEXTURING & BEYOND
with CLAUDIA MARVISI
Boost your career learning from PIXOMONDO's Head Texture Artist
Do you know what the next steps of modeling are?
In the long road between an idea and the final product, a tridimensional model becomes an object, a landscape, a creature, thanks to the textures and materials it is made of.
You will be guided along this path with a hands-on understanding of workflow management from texturing-lookdev to the final render of the complete Asset.
Once the foundations have been laid, the students starting from Photoshop will be introduced to the use of Substance Painter for texturing, and Maya/Arnold for lookdev.
The final phase of the course will be entirely focused on creating a final project ready to be showcased in your portfolio.
