seamless texturing?

[crgowo]

there is a tutorial on 3dbuzz that might help you out...
heres the link (http://www.3drender.com/light/EqTutorial/tiling.htm)

I dont think Levitateme meant tiling in Photoshop, I think he wants to know how to create blends between two projections in Maya. I wouls say the best way is to use a layered texture. But I am not too keen on it myself - layering in Lightwave for instance is much better...

[Levitateme]

thanks elliot, thats what i meant anyone knwo how to do that
i was looking at some doom3 characters its like seamless everywere anyone know how to do that.

DeepPaint3D is good for handling seams. In particular projection mode. It makes a temporary projection layer based on your view and then bakes it once you leave that view so seams, differing resolutions, stretched areas etc. blend nicely. It uses the same hotkeys as photoshop as well.

ok thanks for that ill try deep paint again, i have just been accustomed to using maxon body paint for so long. i would like something better anyway i think mbp is a bit cluttered even when i arrange my windows ok thanks for your help guys. any more suggestions would be rockin thanks.

The 3D paint tool would work too.

I dont think that the Maya paint tool is all that good - surely you cant create textures with it like you can in Photoshop? Also is deep paint all that good? and with a wacom? I just can see it being really awkward to use, wheres photoshop has pressures, you can use loads of editable layers and photo's etc...

where your textures meet wit the different projections you should try the move and sew tool in the uv texture editor, then paint your textures in Pshop based on the mesh from that window...

give it a go...

Deep Paint has all those features you listed and more. The best part is when you are painting across seams , it paints seamless across uv's , so it is really easy to fix the seams in deep paint rather than photoshop.

Besides Deep Paint has full import export capability with photoshop so you can use both of em on the same texture at the same time.

Try this. I struggled with the same problem, and this solution works pretty well. I used it for a face, but you can easily adapt it to any other kind of model.

z brush maybe?

I think the common method for removing seams between projections is to make them part of a layered shader or texture and paint an alpha to mix between the two. Ive not actually given it a go but in theory it should work the same as layer masks in photoshop. Alternatively you could try baking the shader out and fixing the ugly bits in photoshop or your 2D weapon of choice.

why not line up the seems in photoshop, blend the seem, and then move it back to its original position, fiddly but it should work :shrug:
