New announcement! The 3D Artist's Coloring Book.

Hello guys :) 

I've got a super big announcement. 

Introducing: The 3D Artists Coloring Book!

 The 3D Artist's Coloring Book is a project aimed at creating a library of assets that beginner to intermediate artists can use to practice and sharpen their texturing skills in Substance Painter, or any other texturing software.

Not everyone can create professional-level assets to practice their texturing skills. This is why I'm creating a book containing tons of ready to texture assets that even a complete beginner can begin practicing with. Simply open the Substance painter file, and start texturing! No need to worry about creating the high poly, topology, sculpting and baking. It's already done for you.  

To celebrate the book's creation, I've made the first page totally free! Grab it on my Artstation page:

 https://www.artstation.com/smithrenders/store/dO30/the-3d-artist-s-coloring-book-page-1-sunbringer 

----------

This page contains:

-Pre-prepared Substance Painter file, so you can start coloring right away
-.obj file including maps
-Completed Substance painter file to use as reference and to pull ideas from
-Completed file also contains a few smart materials from my paid bundles, so you can save them and reuse them on a later project.
-----------

Now this will take time and effort to finish this project. It's a massive undertaking, so it's going to be a slow process. 

So as my Patrons, you guys are going to be the only ones with access to each page as it comes out. The second I have one available, you guys will be the first ones to have it. No need to wait for months for the book to be completed, no need to wait for each chapter to come out. You guys are going to be a part of the journey every step of the way. In fact, I'm even toying with the idea of having Patrons contribute their art as part of the book if people want to do that :)

You guys are the sole reason I'm able to create this product, and its only fair you guys get first access to it. I'll be creating a new tab on my Patreon page where everyone can grab all of the finished pages of the Coloring Book. 

 Here are some planned features for anyone else curious:  

1. I'll be dividing everything into 'Chapters' so you can easily find assets you'd like to practice: Weapons chapter, armor chapter, characters chapter etc.  

2. A 'Reference' section, filled with a library of categorized reference images (trees, metals, stone, architecture etc) to assist when you get stuck on your textures, or are looking for inspiration 

3. The book will also contain its own unique Library of Smart Materials, to help you get started on your projects. 

Thanks again guys, cant wait to get started on this.
