first finished model.. need your help!

[icr82nz]

i was wondering if you used a certain tutorial for that head? it looks familiar. this is my version. i have the same problem of not understanding the uv map functions and i have tried everything under the sun to get yafray to render but to no avail. so far i have done what you did and applied colors but i am not happy with how unrealistic it looks and would like to texture and stuff

[cloudkj]

yea, i used a tutorial for it. like i said, it's my first model. the model rendered using wings3d's default OpenGL render mode actually isn't too bad. but of course i want to do much more.

can anyone out there please download my model and do some cool stuff with it please? ie. texturize, render using yafray, etc. so hopefully i can learn what to do in the process..

This is the first try!
Rendered with anim8or !!
Hope that u like this !!

[MrBraun]

This is the secon try !!

[MrBraun]

For the texturing i have used the UV Mapping inside of the wings!
For the paint i have used the Gimp !!

This is the texture:

MrBraun!

THANK YOU! I love how it looks now! :applause:

So you did all that using just wings3d, gimp, and anim8or? Can you explain how you created and applied the texture using UV Mapping and gimp? I am not familiar with texturing at all.

Also, how did you do the eyes? It looks like you might have changed the model a little? I'm still not sure how to model eyeballs :surprised

Thanks for your help :thumbsup:

[MrBraun]

Tnx cloudkj !!
Yep i have used only this software !!
I have not changed the model !!
The eyes are the normal sphere where i have applied different color on surface.
I have freezed the specular part and have quadrangulate the model; after have create the UV map with the command inside of the Wings3d.
I have saved the UV coordinates and have painted on it for texturing!
Final, i have redered all into Anim8or!
That's all !!

P.S.
If u want i create one step by step process ond post here !!

MrBraun,

If you can post a step-by-step guide here, that would be great! It helps me a LOT :p

Thank you for your time!

Hopefully others can learn from this too:cool:

hi MrBraun,

can you please follow up with the step-by-step guide?

most importantly how you did the UV mapping, like which faces did you assign as a group and why.. and texturing.

thankS!

[MrBraun]

Sorry for the delay cloudkj!!
For the UV mapping:

1) i select the entire model;
2) Right mouse and I invoke the UV command;
3) go to into face selection and select all face of the model and assign to UV CHART 1;
4) space bar to deselect all;
5) Select the polygon face that i want to isolate (like the face of the head, the hair ecc. - hpwever the more simple part of the model) and assign it to UV CHART 2;
6) After i continue and unfold the texture ;
7) save the UV map and paint on it with a paint program.

TIP:
If u select a closed surface, is necessary to make a cutting edge!)

Hope that is helpful !

:thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[markyjerky]

Did you also post this nice result in the Anim8or forum ?

Great choices of free TOOLS !

MrBraun,

I like your step 3

3) go to into face selection and select all face of the model and assign to UV CHART 1;

I always did it individually - and always endied up missing something! Your is a much better way to go about it.

[MrBraun]

Tnx for all wings friend !! :thumbsup:

[cloudkj]

what's a closed surface? and what's a cutting edge? :shrug:

[MrBraun]

Yep cloudkj, the cosed surface could be a perimeter surface of a cilinder!
To unfold the texture that u want to apply to this surface, is necessary to cut it into one edge !! :thumbsup:

From manual:

MrBraun,

can you explain more in detail how you unfolded the head into the 2 pieces in your texture image?

i understand how to cut a closed surface now, but i dont know where to cut it so taht it unfolds like the way yours does. :shrug:
