TechmeologyTechmeologyUsing Blender to Make Textures - Index

[ Home ]

  It may seem obvious that Blender can be used to make textures (or perhaps not), but I have never seen anything written about this before. Blender is not limited to its procedural textures, and this is so, even when designing your own textures with Blender. A lot of this tutorial is application of existing techniques, but it's still nice to see new ideas for existing methods.

  You can use modeling techniques - for example, dupliverts and subsurf to generate the desired effect, and you can even animate the texture.

  This tutorial comes in sections, I might add more later:
