tons of very informative steps were never explained. Hotkeys need more explanation. Textures maps are used, but how? I had to replay the video at several parts several times to even get near where the tut was. Sadly this is one of the only vids that do these steps.

@00001010 hello everyone. I can see that I'm going little too fast here and not explain all of the steps detailed as I go and I would have to apologize for that. These is some of my first tutorials I did so I 'm thinking the first free time that I will found I will sit and make a part two of the tutorial going in some more advanced tips and tricks as well as repeating all these steps and explaining a bit better. so if u have some requests to add some stuff in the next post in the comments. bye

sweet! where do you get the image? can you get any image online and add the alpha and bump files to make it look 3d?

[darecarce]

The image is from cgarena.com and u can yea if u take a picture of some object and model it in 3d u can have it in 3d but u cannot let say take a picture of a room with people and so and put it on a plane with bump and color and have it in 3d it works for stuff that u modeled and then take textures and paint on the model based on the uv's and make them look rea. I hope that gives an answer to your question.

[darecarce]

No problem guys, If u have any questions just ask or reach me via email i will be glad to help you. cheers.

@evanescfan did you look at it in the render view? if so, try using another format aside from jpg (like tga and png)

@cutpUK u have to unwrap the UV first. search for a tutorial on how to unwrap UV

Thanks!

QUESTION - when I choose a jpg for my alpha-map, my entire model goes semi-transparent, and the areas I have marked black remain visible (or in this case, semi visible) just like the rest of the model.

what could i be doing wrong?

[cutpUK]

im confused, what if i wanted to model something like a computer how would i add textures onto a curved area?

i think if you speak faster and act slower the tutorial would be a lot helpfull..
