With your components selected, unlink the texture by pressing the ‘x’ button in the UV/image editor. If no image is applied, it will assume a texture size of 256. With these components selected, you can move them to a different tile in the UV/image editor.īlender does not have the proper UI to handle multiple UV tiles, but you can still accomplish this by moving your UVs by the number of pixels of the image assigned to the selected components. If you select one of the materials in the list and press the Select button, you will select the components of the mesh that are assigned to the highlighted material. In the material properties, you will see a list of materials. Import your character into your 3D application which in my case is Blender. To properly bake the normal maps of the body in ZBrush, we need to make sure that each set of faces assigned to different materials occupy separate UV tiles. The high-resolution sculpt of the head Step 4: Preparing the UVs for Baking Entries for the Reallusion 3D Character Design Contest can be submitted until the deadline of October 16, 2016. Julian created this character as a guest artist on the Reallusion 3D Character Design Contest, Reallusion’s annual contest where artists from all over the world compete for a collection of prizes from several A-list sponsors including HTC Vive, Perception Neuron Mocap Suit, ZBrush, Substance Designer, Marvelous Designer, Marmoset Toolbag, Game Textures, Renderosity, CGTrader and many more. All that is required is that the main 3D program can rig export to FBX. In this tutorial, 3D artist Julian Santiago uses Blender, ZBrush, and Substance Painter, though most 3D applications will work. We will be using Reallusion’s Character Creator, 3DXchange Pro, and iClone as well as some external 3D programs to model, texture, and bind our character and clothes. This tutorial will show you the process of creating a stylized character with custom clothing.

Characters with custom clothes can then be brought into iClone to be posed or animated.

With the release of Character Creator 1.5, artists will now have the ability to create custom clothing for their characters that will automatically conform to any custom-made character inside Character Creator.
