Last bits and pieces..... Let's start with making some textures. You will need at least 3 textures, the rest you can do with colors. In windows paint or photoshop or gimp or whatever you use, create a texture for the wall, a wood texture and one for the roofs. For the wall I recommend one plain color. Save the textures somewhere, perhaps at the same place your model is? If you don't want to do textures that's OK, you can use Poser materials or just plain colors.

 

Start poser. Choose import, wavefront obj and a menu will appear. When you do models with morphs in it, make sure everything is deselcted, otherwise it will mess up your morphs. For this model, place on floor can be selected, the rest deselected. Press OK, locate your model and that's it. You should see it Poser now. If you've exported it at the right scale, it should be pretty big and you need to zoom out a lot to see the whole castle.

 

Now go to the material room. Select a material and you will notice that there's a texture connected to the Diffuse_Color and Specular_Color. Diffuse_Color will have colors you gave them in Hexagon. If you didn't create textures, just remove the attached texture and you're done. If you created textures, change the Diffuse_Color to white and point to the texture you've created. Do this for each material and your done.

 

Go back to the pose room, add a nice light set and hit render. You will get something line my attached image. If you haven't used a plain clor for the walls you will see they are a bit off and you will also notice that overal the texture are stretched out. This is due to way we've uvmapped the castle. It's all a bit rough, but for this tutorial it's fine. You can go back to Hexagon and uvmap each object on it's own, but if you're really serious about modeling, I do recommend using some kind of uvmapping application.

 

Well, that's it..... for this model. Next post I will show you what you can achieve if you fine tune the uvmaps.
