Project #5: Shading 2 - UV Texturing

• For this assignment you will be texturing a model of a dragon by unwrapping its UVs and creating textures in Photoshop. Zhi has written a tutorial to help you, which can be found here.

What to do:

• Download DragonWhelp.mb
• UV unwrap the DragonWhelp skin (claws, horns, and eyes are not required)
• Using Photoshop, create an image file for the color channel and apply it to the model
• It is encouraged but not required that you also create images for bump and specular channels (these will be counted for extra credit)
• Before rendering, either convert to SubDs or smooth the Polygons to a subdivision level of 2

What to Turn-in:

• Maya file
• Photoshop file(s)
• Renders: total of four 800x600 rendered jpegs from the LightcoveCamera, Closeup1, Closeup2, and Closeup3 cameras
• Please put them in a folder, labeled with your name, in the turn-in folder

Tips:

• You can follow Zhi's tutorial found here
• Try your best to make the texture seamless across areas that you split in the unwrapped UVs, but don't worry too much about them. It will be very difficult without other 3D applications to make it seamless around areas such as the base of the wings and upper arms.
• The LightcoveCamera can be moved by moving around the time slider
