To achieve personalized models, attention to detail is crucial, and it is thanks to shaders and textures that we can accomplish it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The following is a compilation of some of the final works by students of the Animation and Digital Design program for the Shaders and Texturing Techniques course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LET’S START WITH THE PROJECT<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, they were assigned to model 10 complex objects that belonged to a specific theme, with the aim of maintaining coherence with the models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modeling was assigned as it is important to have good topology while modeling, which helps with a smooth workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THEME OF THE OBJECTS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The chosen theme was to model objects with a medieval style.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some examples of these objects include cauldrons, swords, shields, tables, jars, chandeliers, chests, books, wells, doors, and carts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The students decided to recreate these objects with their intricate details and later give them the final style using shaders and textures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TIME TO WORK ON UV’s AND MAPS<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the models were ready, a shader was assigned, which is the material that allows the object to have properties beyond just color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each object was given its UV mapping, which is how we unwrap a 3D object to see its projection in 2D.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For each object, the UV map was created, which serves as a guide to place the customized texture, created and chosen by the students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once the customized texture is applied and aligned with the UV map, different maps such as normal, bump, or displacement, as well as roughness or diffuse, are obtained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These maps, when assigned to the shader, give the model a more realistic finish, which, combined with lighting and rendering, results in a higher quality image.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LET’S ADD LIGHTING<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Once the models have shaders and textures, we proceed to add lights to illuminate the scene and the models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interesting part of lighting is how light interacts with the material and the interplay of reflections and shadows on the model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
