The Foundry have released a new version Mari 1.4... there are some really cool new features!

This is my favorite software by far for texturing!

Very impressive paper that came out 2011 SIGGRAPH Asia. For more reading about how it was done go to Kevin Karsch's website.

Wacom has announced a pretty amazing product today, the Inkling. This so-called Digital Sketch Pen allows you to capture whatever you draw or write on a sketchbook or any kind of paper in digital form, “stroke by stroke”. Just insert a sheet of paper or a notebook into the receiver, use the Inkling Digital Pen and transfer your works to your computer to refine them digitally anytime later.

A thorough tut from Andy Davies showing the techniques needed to efficiently create a realistic rubble pile by making a tileable ground mesh using Displacement maps and placing pre-made Polypainted assets whilst offsetting the canvas.

Any students out there thinking of doing texturing should be seriously looking at learning this piece of software.

MARI 1.3v2 delivers a focused workflow to provide NUKE artists with MARI’s dedicated 3D paint tools, making digital environment and projection work more efficient and final composited scenes more believable.
