Hand Painting Textures for Stylized 3D Characters with Yekaterina Bourykina

Course Description Part 1 of 4. Yekaterina Bourykina is a master of hand painting stylized textures for games. In this four part series she demonstrates her approach to hand painting textures on a character, using her character created for The Legend of King Arthur Challenge. In this first part, she covers the basics to get started, with an overview of baking, maps, cleaning up polypainted faces, then moves in to blocking in the key elements on her character, such as the face, hair, crown and fur.

Part 2 of 4. Yekaterina Bourykina is a master of hand painting stylized textures for games. In this four part series she demonstrates her approach to hand painting textures on a character, using her character created for The Legend of King Arthur Challenge. In this second part, after setting up the bakes and cleaning them up, building up lighting and painting in the materials, Katia tackles the critical process of painting in greyscale to make accurate looking materials and lighting.

Part 3 of 4. Yekaterina Bourykina is a master of hand painting stylized textures for games. In this four part series she demonstrates her approach to hand painting textures on a character, using her character created for The Legend of King Arthur Challenge. In this third part, following up to a lot of greyscale rendering, Katia covers more greyscale rendering… before finally getting into setting up gradient maps and beginning to render in color.

Part 4 of 4. Yekaterina Bourykina is a master of hand painting stylized textures for games. In this four part series she demonstrates her approach to hand painting textures on a character, using her character created for The Legend of King Arthur Challenge. In this final part of this series, after painting and rendering seemingly endlessly, Katia shares how to make minor geometry changes to the assets, and how to know when you are finally at a complete and presentable level with your character.
