Painting Multiple Channels in Mudbox
Lesson Outline (8 lessons)
In this course we will use Mudbox to paint multiple textures and channels as we create a retro ray gun.
Although Mudbox is a powerful sculpting tool, one of the features that make it stand apart is the ability to paint multiple texture channels. When creating textures for your models, painting interactively in the 3d view is a really fast and effective way to work. In Mudbox, we can paint color as well as create channels like bump, specular, and reflection and see all of that detail as we paint.
In this course we'll learn to create and modify multiple texture channels like those mentioned above. We'll blend together multiple paint layers to achieve specific effects, cover the use of stamps, and learn to use the projection brush with a stencil to add decals. For our example we'll use a retro ray gun toy, but the techniques you'll learn will apply to anything you'd like to paint in Mudbox.
