New Tutorial: Modeling and Texturing an Old Wooden Barrel in Blender
June 25, 2009

Today I have another video tutorial for you all. This was posted a couple days back but I’ve only just gotten around to adding it to the blog.

This time around we’re looking at how to model and texture an old wooden barrel in Blender. In this video tutorial you’ll learn how to use Blender’s modifier system for non-destructive modeling that allows you to change the barrel very easily at almost any point in the process. It also users Blender’s new projection painting system to paint on the textures.
