JulieAnne Rau Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Hi, I bought a sculpted lion statue last night and was wondering how do you create a texture for a sculpted object such as a statue? Can someone point me in the direction of a tutorial?Thanks, JulieAnne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishtara Rothschild Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 The easiest way is to upload a grid texture like the one below, apply it to the sculpt prim, and use the same image as a texture template in Photoshop or Gimp: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alisha Matova Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 If you haven't used blender before, this could include a steep learning curve. http://blog.machinimatrix.org/3d-creation/video-tutorials/sculpties-older-tutorials-page/texturizing-sculpties/ Depending on the complexity of the sculpt there are some ways to fudge things. If I need to work fast, I will do a quick Ambient Occlusion bake on my sculpt. This will leave shading which I use as "landmarks" to make the texture in my 2d image software. Guess it comes down to what software you have. I don't have it, but the latest photoshop has a 3d paint section. Which is probably much simpler to use that the methods I mentioned above. Hope my ramble helps some. ETA: my ideas will only work if you can download and import the scupt into blender or PS. Ishy is spot on with the Tex by numbers trick, if you don't have perms to DL.

Ishtara Rothschild Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 Btw, if you bought the statue as a full perm builder's supply kit, there should be basic textures with baked shadows included. You can download these textures, paint your own texture on top of them, and then set your texture layer to "multiply" in order to get proper shading.

JulieAnne Rau Posted July 28, 2011 Author Share Posted July 28, 2011 That's actually a very good idea Ishy. I guess I was a bit naive to thing it wasn't software dependent. I will have to look for software that has a 3d paint option. Does anyone know of a good/easy program to learn on? JulieAnne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nefertiti Nefarious Posted July 28, 2011 Share Posted July 28, 2011 I have a self-paced tutorial in a skybox at my parcel. Look me up in world and TP to my place, then take the teleport that is by the building with shoes and stuff in it (away from the pond) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
