In this collection of lessons we will learn to use MARI to create
texture maps for a complex creature.

Creating highly detailed textures for our characters can often be a
difficult task. MARI gives us a lot of flexibility in creating those
textures and allows us to break down our models into a large number
of high resolution textures that we can paint on simultaneously.
In this series of lessons we will go through the process of using
MARI to create textures for high resolution creatures. We will begin
by setting up our MARI project, with our geometry and texture channels,
and setting up the workspace. From there, we will block in a color
base on the pieces of our model. We will look at the different effects
we can get when using different brushes. We will use photographic
images to paint through, adding realistic detail to the model very
quickly. We will also look at several ways that we can use masking to
aid in texturing, including edge masking and using existing channels
as masks. Finally, we will look at how to adjust entire channels or
selected uv patches based on a number of different filters. In the end,
you will not only have textured a complete project, but you will have
the tools you need to create high resolution textures on your own models.
If you are just starting out and are completely new to MARI, please check
out the Beginner Guide to MARI as well as the Introduction to MARI to get
a good grip on all of the functionality available in this powerful application.
