Call for Content Blenderart #12
The theme for the next issue of Blenderart will be “Texturing”. If you want to submit an article or some image for the gallery, it`s time to start thinking about that.
“This issue we aim to look at the art/technique of 2d texture creation, creating convincing procedural textures, Nodes, UV mapping and painting of those maps.
We are looking for tutorials, “making of” articles, and projects of interest that focus on Texturing techniques, “how to” and tips.
Also wanted, great shaders, materials and node setups for great looking textures.”
Remember to check out the guidelines for authors and image submissions, before send anything. To view the instructions for submitting material, read the announcement at the blenderartists foruns, or check out how to contribute at blenderart.org.
I’d like to contribute something, if I can. What is the deadline? I don’t see it anywhere…
Oooh goody, goody! When it comes to good tutorials, texturing tutorials are what the Blender community lacks most. I’m glad the goal for the next issue is more then just texturing functionality (e.g. UV unwrapping tools). I’m looking forward to seeing the techniques for painting textures, such as illustrations of one’s use of a wacom tablet during different stages of the painting process. I’d like to contribute, but I’m one that needs the knowledge before I can pass it on to others, so it goes without saying that I can’t be of much help (hehe).
Submission deadline is set for September 5, 2007.
You can contact me at [email protected] to submit articles/tutorials or to ask questions.

Skin Shader Tutorial for blender by schuh:

Recently I created these materials: http://repository.parastudios.de/index.php?p=8&u=106
I will contact him about using his tutorial, it looks great.
Jogai: those are very nice materials/textures. Would you care to write a short “How To” on one or all of them?
