It is a great idea to match both poses to easily transfer color details and surface details between the scan and the production model.įor both situations, modeling or texturing, this is a workflow that usually involves Wrap3 or other proprietary tools for Maya. Commonly, a texture artist gets a digital double production model in t-pose or a similar pose that doesn’t necessary match the scan pose.

This workflow can be used during modeling the digital double and also while texturing it. This technique will allow you to easily wrap a generic human to any actor’s scan to create digital doubles. Not saying that I can fully replace Wrap3 but for some common and easy tasks, like wrapping generic humans to scans for both modelling and texturing, I can definitely use Houdini now instead of Wrap 3. For a little while I have been using Houdini topo transfer tools instead of Wrap 3.
