Make your roofing and siding look more realistic with a custom shingle texture. In this course, Adam Crespi helps you build asphalt shingles in a variety of bond patterns and put the texture to work in the 3D modeling program of your choice. You'll start by laying out the pattern in Illustrator, and then adding color, texture, and gradients that mimic the look of slope and overlap, with Photoshop. Then Adam will show you how to apply the texture in 3ds Max and map a sample roof and ridges.
