In an effort to entice traditional 2D animation students to see the potential and flexibility of CGI I have been using simple cartoon-style textures and alphas to show them not all CGI has detailed photo-based texturing.
I started with the 3D paint tool to mark up the general look and positioning, created a limited palette to work from...
 |
| Palette |
...then bashed out some quick textures in Photoshop.
 |
| Tree Foliage |
 |
| Tree Bark |
 |
| Grass tufts Alpha texture |
 |
| Big Grass tufts Alpha texture |
 |
| Foreground texture |
 |
| BG Rocks texture |
Given more time the textures can be refined, but they should retain the simple style with large areas of flat colour.
