You can write for a personal blog or keep a private diary and notes for your discoveries and workflow (or do both). I recommend you do it with your own projects. I have found that writing down my process and thoughts on a topic helps the knowledge sink in more and can spark other ideas, although it does take time to write. The whole 3D creation and texturing process can be pretty time consuming and technical, so keeping things more manageable and achievable may be a better strategy.Īlthough I am still a newbie in 3D art, I hope the blog articles I will write about my upcoming personal 3D projects will be interesting. Going forward I think it might be better if I work on low poly models or simpler models for a while, something I had read was a good thing to do early on (insert silent scream). I’ve found that documenting my process with the little projects I practice the techniques on is helpful to the learning process. I still consider myself pretty new to this way of creating art and there are many things I still need to work on and that I find frustrating. I also use Krita to edit the texture maps and do additional texturing work.

At present I am using a program called 3D Coat to do the UV mapping, baking and the PBR based texture painting. I’m currently working through texturing some 3D models I’ve made and in the process I’ve been learning a few more things about the software I use and trying some different workflow and technical approaches.
