Texturing the Tie fighter Model

Textures used

The tie fighter is good when it comes to textures as it only really has two materials, the metal of the ship and the material in the wing segments. Again like the X-wing I got my textures from the internet and even used one of the same texture sources I used for the X wing.

This is the Texture I will use for the the majority of the ship. I will use Maya's colour settings to shift its colour slightly blue though.

This Carbon fibre texture works perfectly for the Wing segments of the Tie fighter.

The Tie-Fighter model once textures had been applied.Again like the X-wing all of the textures were the Lambert material apart from the cockpit window which was anisotropic. This is because again i wanted the ship to have a worn look too it, and not be shiny.

Again i used the create UV - Planar mapping tool to correctly orientate the textures, specifically the wing segment textures as they have that distinctive pattern.

Like the X -wing I added a Green anisotropic material with a glow effect to look like the engine

The finished Model, again I'm really happy with how this model turned out and think it looks great
