Texturer needed

[Ilidrake]

I have my Cleopatra model ready for textures. Only I suck at clothing textures. I have a reference of how I want her to look but my skills with photoshop are passive at best. If someone could help me out I would really appreciate it. Unfortunatly this isn't a paying gig and the best I can do is put your name in the credits. If your interested in helping drop me a line here and I'll send you the model file with the reference pics. Thanks

So if I offered cash would that interest people for the task?

You might like doing it yourself. Try a little bit, post it, and maybe a texture guru will comment.

What about AM Paint? Would it be a wise choice?

Do you have Photoshop? And what sort of textures are you trying to do?

[Ilidrake]

I do have photoshop. Version CS5. The texture is quite detailed. I have the UVs created and imported into photoshop. I'm thinking it will simply be one of those things I do in time. Usually if something doesn't look the way I want I simply set it aside and try it later. And I am waiting on my new Wacom tablet to arrive so that should be a big help.

I think Photoshop will serve you well and you might give it a try. Start small, like on a button.

 

3D painting sounds like a great idea but it has its own complications.

Have you watched Will Sutton's UV video tutorial? He has it in a bunch of parts on YouTube. I bought the CD back in the day and it was a great resource for me.

 

Here's part one:

Good stuff. I already know how to do UV maps and layouts for them. My actual painting in photoshop is lacking. I really don't do it enough so I guess this will be good practice.

In Photoshop, you can lasso areas from a photo reference and drag them into your document. then you scale,rotate and distort them into place, building up your color map. Keep your wireframes on a separate layer (set to multiply) so that you can see what you're doing.
