Shooting photographic reference -- Photographing buildings -- Building observations skills -- Understanding different material surfaces -- Realistic transparency and reflection maps -- Simulating aging, "wear and tear" -- Realistic detail using masks -- Architectural details and scale -- Painting interiors.

Instructor, Paul Campion.

This DVD focuses on how the understanding and use of aging, and "wear and tear" on an object can help add realism to your textures. Paul demonstrates how different surface materials can be simulated using simple colour, bump, specualr, reflection and transparency maps. These principles are illustrated by the texturing of a rustic lantern and weathered house using Adobe Photoshop.
