In this tutorial, I will show you how to texture your character, light your subject and send your render for post production. At the end of this process, we should have an appealing, presentable still image ready for you to show off to the world. I'm only going to cover the pipeline from texturing to completion. If you'd like to know how to model and rig a character, head over into the channel and check out the Character Series playlists.
Don't forget to skip segments while watching, I've done my best to time-lapse through flat bits.
You will need a couple of things. nDo2, a normal map plugin that runs with Photoshop and CGTextures.com
