Description

( With the huge update of Blender with the release of 2.8 I have decided to make this course free. Because of this, there will no longer be student support. I hope it will be of some use to you anyway. Not everything is outdated in this course.)

This course explores my process behind creating re-usable tiled textures and using them as stencils inside of Blender. This is not a step-by-step instruction. I show you the tools and give you my ideas behind my decisions. The lectures are short and to the point. You should have an understanding of how to use blender before starting this course.

What you'll learn:
- Hand-painted texturing
  - Wood
  - Metal
  - Leather
  - Fur
  - Stone

Who this course is for:

Anyone who wants to learn to paint their own stylized textures.
Anyone that needs re-usable, tiled textures for their projects.
