Barricade24 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 I am having a particular issue with getting some skinning done. The head I am using has a pattern I need to add and it is very complex to find the direct way to get it match. Is there a trick to seeing how a texture is put together on a model so that I can get the pattern just right?

The closest you will get is using modview http://jkhub.org/tutorials/article/31-how-to-use-modview/
mrwonko Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 Correct me if I'm mistaken, but you're asking how to know which part of the 2d texture you paint will end up where on the model? There's software that allows you to paint directly on the model - I think recent versions of Photoshop support it, as well as the freeware Blender and others.

I might have to look into it. Thanks.
minilogoguy18 Posted October 12, 2012 Posted October 12, 2012 The thing that you may be looking for is anything that handles UV info, any 3d modeling application can do this, you'd just have to import the model.
Milamber Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 what mini said, import the model, save out an image of the uv's which you can overlay on your texture. If you want to get fancy there's a way to remove seams completely in 3ds max using render to texture: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-maHIFYhb0 I heard about those paint on model stuff too, never tried it though. So can't give you any feedback on that.
minilogoguy18 Posted October 13, 2012 Posted October 13, 2012 ^ZBrush, Mudbox and Photoshop can all do 3d painting, file must be .obj for all 3, don't think they can accept anything else as an import other than of course the scene files they create.
AshuraDX Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Sculptris works to , jsut wanted to point that outI'm using sculptris a lot
minilogoguy18 Posted October 14, 2012 Posted October 14, 2012 Oh yeah, forgot about that one, good thin about it is that it's free.
