In this series of lessons, we will be exploring many of the tools and features of MARI that will allow you to texture your models faster and with more precision.
This course will begin by discussing the basic workflow of projecting texture detail onto your geometry within MARI as well as important features and settings that you will want to be aware of at an early stage of your texturing process.

Creating highly detailed textures for our characters can often be a difficult task. MARI gives us a lot of flexibility in creating those textures and allows us to break down our models into a large number of high resolution textures that we can paint on simultaneously. In this series of lessons we will go through the process of using MARI to create textures for high resolution creatures. We will begin by setting up our MARI project, with our geometry and texture channels, and setting up the workspace.

We'll begin this project by bringing in a correctly formatted skeleton and characterize it. We'll then go into how to manually characterize a skeleton if yor naming convention differs from MotionBuilder's. We'll then learn how to characterize a quadruped rig and how to get around specific issues that can crop up while working with quadrupeds. This series of lessons will take us through the process of bringing in your external skeletons and creating the FBIK rig on top of them so you can use the power of MotionBuilder on your own characters.

The latest provocative package of particle awesomeness from The Wizard of OrbaZ is Particle Flow Tools: Box#2 Pro. This easy-to-use new software integrates with the Particle Flow system to let you create sophisticated, realistic physics simulations.
The Wizard of OrbaZ presents Particle Flow Tools: Box#3 Pro: a toolset for creating your own Particle Flow tools. You can build standard operators and tests as well as those that use icons. Box#3 Pro lets you save your results as presets that you can choose from a list, or as standard actions that show up in the Particle View depot. The built-in visual editor, as easy to use as Particle View but far more versatile, lets you combine 27 different suboperators (elements) to customize a data flow to suit your needs perfectly.
