It is mostly theoretical knowledge, but one that is definitely vital for your understanding of what’s happening under the hood of the software while you’re texturing.

Chapter 7 & 8 – Preparing & Texturing the Barrelbot

In Chapters 7 and 8 we will finally jump onto the mascot of the whole course, the F37 Barrelbot, our nuclear waste-cleaning robot called "Barry".

First, we will UV unwrap it in Blender and prepare it for export. After that, in Painter, you will learn about advanced workflows and tricks, painting normal and height maps, playing around with complex masks, adding decals and deepening the backstory of this robot with adding texture details.
