Two tutorials related to the "OrCo mode" technique to apply the textures in Blender:

Hope these can be useful to someone.

env,

Another great tutorial! I did have a couple of questions, however.

1) I am correct in assuming that the orientation you used to creat the object in Blender was the side view? I'm trying to understand the X-Y-Z settings for the different materials.

2) You mentioned that there are two different front-back materials, one for the front head and arms (orange) and one for the hindlegs and ankles (red), because you couldn't use the same texture for both parts. Could you explain why you couldn't. Was it an artistic choice or for some other reason?

Thanks! Sorry for the dumb questions.

Hi!
No dumb questions at all.

1) Actually I can't remember this, because I don't always keep the same view to start an object..., btw, it is not so important, it is enough a little try to discover the right orientation of the object axes and, therefore, the correct setting for the textures.

2) The reason was that the legs had a different bump map than the forearms, especially at the knees, so I had to use two different materials to show different folders in the skin.
