本教程是由Digital-Tutors机构出品的MARI变形机器人制作之机器人贴图制作教程，时长：1小时59分，教程使用软件：MARI 1.4v2，作者：Eddie Russell，官方发布时间：2012年4月1日，语言：英语。
Mari是由The foundry开发的一款具有创新概念的纹理绘制工具。在这次更新上，最重要的是Mari终于能够在Window下运作，并且还增加了如：TGA格式支持、FBX Camera导入等功能。
MARI是一款全新的具有创造性的3D纹理绘制产品，最初在Weta Digital开发，主要用来解决高细节的纹理问题，后被用于影片《阿凡达》、《第九区》等的开发制作中。MARI能够轻松处理高细节——数以万计的复杂纹理——快速且简单。MARI深受欢迎，并收到了来自各式各样的纹理绘制社区的预定请求，这其中不乏Double Negative和Framestore这样的大客户。
Digital-Tutors Transforming Robot Production Pipeline Volume 5 Robot Texturing
In this tutorial we will learn about the process of texturing our transforming robot’s robot form. To get started, you should know that this MARI tutorial will focus on providing you with a high level glimpse at the thought processes that went into painting textures for our robot. While we won’t focus on painting every stroke of our textures, we will be walking through each step, demonstrating techniques as well as providing insight into the process. This also means that if you use another application for texturing, you’ll still get valuable information from this course in terms of how different texture elements will be identified and layered. This course will begin by focusing on selecting geometry and how MARI’s selection groups can make this much easier. From here we will focus on laying down a base of photographic texture for our robot before moving into adding additional details like dirt, rust and scratches. To wrap this course up, we will learn how to repurpose rr-sc.com channels of data for our specular map and then export those maps out of MARI. After completing this course, you’ll not only know how the texture maps for our robot were painted but you’ll also gain insight into the thought process behind painting them.
