Mari是由The foundry开发的一款具有创新概念的纹理绘制工具。在这次更新上，最重要的是Mari终于能够在Window下运作，并且还增加了如：TGA格式支持、FBX Camera导入等功能

MARI是一款全新的具有创造性的3D纹理绘制产品，最初在Weta Digital开发，主要用来解决高细节的纹理问题，后被用于影片《阿凡达》、《第九区》等的开发制作中。MARI能够轻松处理高细节——数以万计的复杂纹理——快速且简单.
MARI深受欢迎，并收到了来自各式各样的纹理绘制社区的预定请求，这其中不乏Double Negative和Framestore这样的大客户。

In this collection of lessons we will learn to use MARI to create texture maps for a complex creature.

Creating highly detailed textures for our characters can often be a difficult task. MARI gives us a lot of flexibility in creating those textures and allows us to break down our models into a large number of high resolution textures that we can paint on simultaneously. In this series of lessons we will go through the process of using MARI to create textures for high resolution creatures. We will begin by setting up our MARI project, with our geometry and texture channels, and setting up the workspace. From there, we will block in a color base on the pieces of our model. We will look at the different effects we can get when using different brushes. We will use photographic images to paint through, adding realistic detail to the model very quickly. We will also look at several ways that we can use masking to aid in texturing, including edge masking and using existing channels as masks. Finally, we will look at how to adjust entire channels or selected uv patches based on a number of different filters. In the end, you will not only have textured a complete project, but you will have the tools you need to create high resolution textures on your own models. If you are just starting out and are completely new to MARI, please check out the Beginner Guide to MARI as well as the Introduction to MARI to get a good grip on all of the functionality available in this powerful application.
