Re-Texturing a Multi-UV Model in ZBrush

In this video I show you how to take a model from Daz Studio (the millenium sub dragon – to get the dragon, go here: http://IntrovertArtist.com/dragon) and retexture it using ZBrush. The special part of this is that the model has multiple UV Maps, which adds a level of complexity to this task.

Using Daz Characters in Vue, A Video Tutorial

Like this? Get on my mailing list: http://IntrovertArtist.com/newsletter to hear about my latest videos, articles, and artwork.

In this video, I show you three ways to get characters from Daz Studio into an Vue scene:

The first is to export the character as an obj from Daz then import it into Vue prior to rendering.

The second is to render the character in Daz Studio, save it as a png, then use an alpha plane in Vue to include it in your scene.

The third way is to use an image editor (I use GIMP) to composite the Daz and Vue renders together.

Elf, A 3D Tutorial using Poser, Vue, and Gimp

In this video, I show you how I create a fantasy scene depicting an elf standing with a deer in a dense forest. Starting with Poser, I pose the V4 model and use the cloth room to do a couple of cloth simulations for her dress, then, also in poser, I add the deer. I’ll show you how to transfer poser characters to Vue. Then, in Vue, I construct a forest scene around the Poser Models. Finally, towards the end, I show you how to use GIMP to do a bit of post production work.

Rigging a Complex Model in Blender 3d

In this video, I show you how to rig a complex model using a Blender 3D armature to create and underlying skeleton of bones that you can use to pose 3D character models. I also show you how to use Blender’s weight paint mode to tweak the rigging so that all the parts of the model correctly move with the rig.
