"texturing for dummies" reloaded

Hi all, Those of you who've been here for a while may remember me posting a couple of texturing articles, called "Texturing for Dummies", a few years back. Those articles were very well received by the community, and even ended up in a book publishing deal for me. Well, years later those articles had become horribly outdated, and in some cases totally incorrect. So I figured it was time for an update! Since I am currently on vacation, I took a day out to almost totally rewrite them, and have combined them all, together with entirely new sections, into an illustrated 15-page PDF file. This article is mainly aimed at people who know very little about texture painting and UV mapping. Topics covered include basic texturing theory (ie a little about common surface parameters), a basic overview of UV mapping, and some food for thought regarding the art of texture painting. Some information, especially in the texturing theory section, has been somewhat simplified for the sake of easy explanation leigh van der byl

In the thread started by the original author, Leigh Van del Byl, there is another interesting document about photoshop tips, most of them applicables to Gimp.

Leigh has some great work there and this is a nice update to basic texturing.
If some parts are a little confusing, blame it on vacation editing rush typos :-) I'm sure she'll "patch" it after she gets back.

Heh, I'm horrible at texturing, this is will be helpful.

And so. What's the big deal about doing that? It saves another slot in the database.
In fact it sounds like it's a better thing to do than start a new post.

Maybe this thread should be made sticky in the Texturing forum as in CGtalk.

[stanmarsh]

[secundar]

thanks for resurrecting and, yes, it should be sticky.
