The Foundry is delighted to announce that Double Negative and Framestore have made a significant investment in its newest product – MARI.

MARI is a brand new creative 3D texture painting product originally developed at Weta Digital to handle the exceedingly detailed look development and texture work demanded by Avatar, MARI copes easily with an obsessive level of detail – literally tens of thousands of textures – quickly and elegantly.

The application allows hundreds of production textures to be painted on a model, but rather than be limited to just a static neutral pose, you can import an animation sequence and still interactively work on the texturing. This is important as seams and stretching can often only appear when the character or asset is in motion in a real scene, which is exactly why Mari has this feature – it is a direct result of Production requests from the original Weta team.

Overview

Substance Air is Allegorithmic’s new generation texturing middleware solution. It was designed to help users create and customize a new kind of textures: lightweight, dynamic and infinitely versatile. Replacing ProFX Online, Substance Air includes Substance Editor, a new authoring tool with unique creative possibilities, and a revamped run-time engine designed to create and generate high-quality textures that can fit in only a few kilobytes.

A new generation of textures

The textures created with Substance Air offer much more advantages and possibilities than traditional bitmaps. While the latter are static and heavy by nature, the textures made with Substance Editor are extremely light and dynamic.

You can blend textures on the object surface using vertex color map, it works in conjunction stored vertex selections. In this tutorial we will explore vertex color map capabilities.If you directly jumped to this tutorial and are not aware of channels, please first visit “Understanding Channels” tutorial.

Open up lady01.max. We will use composite material type for this purpose as it layers complex materials and maps. It is made up of other maps. For this kind of map use images that contains an alpha channel. For composite map display driver must be OpenGL or Direct3D. The composite map uses opacity to determine that how the different material overlay the base material. We would use opacity map to give our selection different colors.
