totally random texture thread

It opens from the centre

I know that it is supposed to open like that etc, but if I would see a door in that style I just think that the planks would tile and be cut in half, oh and the house number on both of the doors is 5...

good point

And please do not use them without crediting me...

Put some moar effort in those rather than just tiling photos Add some style to it.

I can see some serious repetition going on in some of those.

They look good in-game, the only thing I do with them apart from tiling, is the usual, levels/hue/saturation/photo-filter... why should I give it more style? and how?

most basic thing would be redrawing the shape and colors and then recreate the original into the new created with stamping in details. this way you will also have an easy time making a heightmap out of the redrawn shape and stuff.

They look too much like photos than they do textures.

The first/third/fourth has some very obvious and bad repetition which you really shouldn't be missing.

The second, the shadow on the texture shouldn't even be there for starters.

As for creating a "style" - the first phase is to make them less like photos and more constructed for game use. Just look at most textures in HL2, a lot of segments fit perfectly well on specific brush sizes such as the; doors, door frames, trimming, windows. This, I consider, is good texture design and would help a lot in your second texture posted.

The best way is to construct a lot of segments onto specific dimensions, while basing it on the type of texture/photo you want it to look like.

Thanks for the tips! I'll try to define some more style to my textures

That garage door reminds me of STALKER, good stuff.

Nothing big here, just a couple of textures for a sci-fi environment. I'm still very much learning with texture creation, but I have made some of my own Photoshop brushes that help a lot with dirt and stuff, and I think I may be getting generally better at structured workflow with texture creation (which for me translates to keeping layers to a minimum, and organising them into groups where I can!)

These were rendered in 3D Studio Max, with specular and normal maps (right side). The 2nd one I am fond of, the first I think is a little weak due to the soft nature of the crevices...it was meant to look like sleek close-fitting panels, but I shall have to redo it with slimmer gaps to really achieve that, I think.

Very nice, I LOVE clean textures! Very Philk style

Thankyou, I take that as a great compliment

Time lapse, creation of a 2D presentation of the SKS weapon for the new beta 3 HUD. Took me about 1 hour to create in real time.

Looks pretty good. How long have you been working on it btw? 15 months?

Nice shit satan. I thought it was more like 16 months

hehe, yea i started this quite a while ago. it's really just a pastime thing for me to do when i'm bored or have a few minutes to spare (and that didn't really happen lately)

wow impressive satan, really cool, can we see the uvsheet ?
