The Importance of Dynamic Workflows with Mari

 

Mari is a texturing software that can be utilized in different ways to achieve similar yet slightly different goals. In some cases, texture artists tend to stick to a “safe” path instead of trying a more versatile approach when working on different assets.

Let’s take a deep dive into how artists can work smarter in Mari by shifting their setup and creating different, more creative workflows based on the complexity of an asset. As you progress with the new workflow,  you’ll see how Mari allows you to be more dynamic, instinctive and creative as a texture artist.
