Props 02 - An example of non photorealistic texturing
2004 - Adobe Photoshop - Corel Painter - NewTek LightWave 3D
Usually I preferred to spend some minute to sketch the props on paper (1), before start modeling.
A very simple sketch can really help to plan a better 3D mesh (2).
Sometimes I like painting the texture (3,4) before modeling the object, particularly when the texture will be projected in a planar direction.
In these cases I use the texture as a backdrop image during the modeling process.
