What you'll learn

In this series of tutorials you'll learn how to texture a game character, step by step, in Mudbox. To get started, we'll lay down the base colors for our character and discuss the basics of the workflow we'll use throughout the course. From here we'll jump into refining our textures for each element of our character. During the refinement stage, we'll learn some great techniques for giving our textures life especially when we start texturing the skin. Once we've finished the diffuse textures, we'll learn how to control the specularity of our character by creating specular maps right in Mudbox. Software required: Mudbox 2014.
