Description
Just a quick test to stretch my 3D legs a bit. Wanted to have a go at the whole 'Pixel art' texturing technique, still work in progress but good fun! He's from Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors if anyone remembers that one
904 tris, 128x128 texture

for the pixelarty style shading did you scale up the art in photoshop before applying it to the map or does maya just know how to display really small images really crisp like that? always wanted to try something like this but I imagined it would take my 128 by 128 image and blow it up all blurry. does that make sense?

Yeah, it is a bit of a headache but definitely worth having a go!
The texture is not enlarged in PS, a 128x128 texture is used on the model in Maya. The way I do it is to use a surface shader for the model's material, link the texture through the shader's out colour and then in the hardware texturing drop down, select Texture Filter: Nearest Unfiltered.
The surface shader means you can use a texture with no lighting in Maya and it will come up crisp and vibrant, then using Nearest (Unfiltered) will stop Maya filtering and smoothing the texture, keeping it nice and pixelly.

cool, im more familiar with 3DS but I imagine there'll be some kind of similar option, like nearest neighbour enlarging in photoshop. Thankyou!
