MATERIALS

Tutorials by Philip Klevestav < Back to Tutorials Index page On this page I have tried to create a few step by step tutorials including a lot of hints and tricks I use when creating such materials. I will not go into depth too much to avoid locking the tutorials to the programs I used when creating them. If you want some handy Photoshop actions I use frequently you can find a .atn file at the bottom of this page. The materials created here are not to be seen as tiling textures only (some of them are not even seamlessly tiling), but the point of the tutorials are more to go through material definition in general. Even if you create something with a highly stylized art direction, you will most likely want to define your materials anyhow, of course there are a lot of exceptions, but in my opinion defining good materials is not bound to realism, but rather to create a believable world, regardless if the world is a desert city on earth or a pink castle in space. » Download: PT Actions

Blog Archive » Xfrog 5 for MAYA now available Posted by Xfrog on August 20th, 2010 Screenshots: (click to enlarge) How it Works Xfrog adds six new procedural Objects to Maya. Our tools behave exactly like Maya components, so you can keyframe them and combine them with PaintEffects or Particle animations or use MEL Scripts to drive them – the possibilities are nearly endless. Branch Object – create multi-level branching structures with extensive parameters to allow you to give them a natural look and feel. Phyllotaxis Object – arrange components on an abitrary surface of revolution, according to the rules of nature (golden section). Hydra Object arranges components in user defined specialized circular patterns. Curvature Object creates Splines which can be used as a basis for naturally curved leafs or twigs. All the tools can be animated over time by varying their parameters, such as number of branches, gravitropism, phototropism, etc. For more information, tutorials and a free 30 day trial, visit the Xfrog 5 for MAYA product page.
