Blender 3D Cookbook

Chapter 11. Refining the Textures

In this chapter, we will cover the following recipes:

• Sculpting more details on the high resolution mesh
• Baking the normals of the sculpted mesh on the low resolution one
• The Armor textures
• Adding a dirty Vertex Colors layer and baking it to an image texture
• The Quick Edit tool

Introduction

In Chapter 10, Creating the Textures, we have prepared the color and bump texture images for the Gidiosaurus skin. In this chapter, we'll see the process for creating some additional (but equally important, nonetheless) textures, both for the character and the iron Armor.
