texturing next gen characters?

[twicE]

hi,
i just wondered if dt is planing on creating a "texturing next gen characters" dvd as well.

Being about to finish the modeling of next gen character dvd, i just saw in the sneak peak of "rigging next gen characters" that the character's already uv mapped, textured and detailed out.

I'd be really intrested in the texturing and uv layout process, as well as creating normal maps using zbrush.

would be nuts to get some more infos on that :)

btw: DT rules :bow

sry for double posting...didn't want to make a new topic...just wondered weather it's possible to recieve an answer on my question in this board or do i have to ask somewhere else(like mailing the dt-staff or so)

thanks for your time
dt rules :)

How we use ZBrush to paint the normal map for the character?
And how we use Photoshop to paint the texture?
We would like to see this training kit to be available soon.

The kits you speak of can be found here. Each art part of a large pipeline to get your game character assets in a game Engine. XNA is the game engine example being used here. Even though some of them are labeled Zbrush the pipeline involves moving back and forth from Maya to Zbrush and then back to Maya then to XNA.
