Hello,
What would be a recommended tutorial on painting cleaner images, to avoid overspray and smearing? I think what I’m looking for is repositionable alpha matte tutorials, if there is such a thing. I’m not sure I know the right term to ask for, or to look for in the documentation.
The problem I would like to solve in my painting on 3D models is avoiding overspray and smearing. For example, I’ve painted a body of a creature, then I move on to paint the arm and when the arm is finished, I notice I’ve inadvertantly painted something on the body that I didn’t want. I have a hard time staying within the lines sometimes. hehe.
I’m vaguely aware of painting mattes to mask out areas. I’m not sure how to do it quickly with mattes that can be added and removed as needed or repositioned. I’m getting better with hiding portions of the model as well. Any pointers to tutorials on good techniques would be most welcome. Seeing a technique performed is a great help. Free or commercial tutorials, I’m always happy to be supportive of such a great community.
I’m learning new things every day in ZBrush, amazing software.
Thanks,
Bill C.
