Скачать или смотреть Skyrim Donuts #5 - Add Vertex Colors for Material ID Map

Part 5 of tutorial on how to take a model from Blender and put it into Skyrim! To make it easy to color all the parts of our model in the 3D texturing software, we are going to bake a Material ID map from our high poly model. We will apply vertex colors to the high poly model and use those to create the material ID map.

This episode is a bit long and tedious - and apologies for that. But having the Material ID map is going to make life a lot easier when we get to texturing; and the process used here also gives us a chance to work with vertex groups!
