totally random texture thread

better

I discovered a way to make practically any texture (surface) look painted. I used white, because I consider making white paint the hardest. Other colors could be easily overlayed sometimes.

I'm planning on writing a tutorial for this, if anybody is interested.

Did you make your own custom brush to paint over those textures Method ?

Here's the tutorial:

Haha, I like the first one, although the panel should be a seperate texture..

Nice, a bit cartoonish but still looking cool

Made a texture today:

I think the normal for the brown areas might be a bit too much.

Don't know any tutorials for this I'm afraid, but I wouldn't mind sharing my workflow in case that would be interesting.

1. This is about as how basic it can get, nothing but layout and colors.

2. Simple shadows and some lighter parts added.

3. Defining edges using smaller brushes.

4. Material overlay blended in and contrast added to all layers below.

5. Details 'healed' in from a photo reference image.

6. Brown colors painted in using Overlay, as well as painting over some noisy material with a regular brush.

7. Contrast, color and sharpness added.

8. Some final touches and a little more sharpening in some places.

Hope this was of some help, didn't want to get carried away. I'm sure there are people here with far more experience on this, and my way isn't the 'universal' way of doing this, there are several different ways.

Wow mate seriously, that is fantastic. You certainly have a lot of patience, I don't think I could do that very well as like most people I'm lazy and prefer to hack things with photo references!

That is three thumbs up.

Indeed. Inspires me to try it out myself (and work on it) Cheers for posting that, =P.
