Quote from keresits a bit way too clean and simplistic. impressive for being a "noob" at hand painting. It doesnt quite look like a right texture for a mall, but it's definitely a start. you could try playing around more with the transition from the white to dark places. right now its just kinda a single perfectly straight shadow.
Thanks. I'll try to add more detail, but it doesn't appear as sharp as I want it to be. Oh and if someone wondering which engine i'm making that, it's Source.
i wouldn't make a texturre from scratch. the results are simply worse than normal. (exept for spechial textures)
so here is my version of it i just added 2 layers. 1st with rust 2nd with plaster.

its maybe not as clean as you wanted it but more realistic.

However, if you're planning on completely hand painting something i think that modeling a texture is the best approach (for most things, in my opinion) however you really can do better with some photorealistic overlays. It's easy to try out, head over to http://cgtextures.com and pick out a tiled rust, and mess around with blend modes. It can do wonders.
Even if you want to make a "clean" surface you can still add a fair amount of texture variation in the diffuse. It's mostly the spec that decides how clean the surface feels and the spec doesnt always have to go completely hand in hand with the diffuse.
Thanks for the tips, I'll try to work something out soon.
I was working on this advert for a tf2 map I'm making, what should I add/remove/fix to give it a better feel?

I'd go with a different font other than the standard TF2 text. Perhaps also don't have the 'Slaughterhouse' text overlap the skull like that.
You could even have 'Slaughter' on one side and the 'House' on the other side of the skull.

Okay, is there any particular font you'd recommend? Something that has a defined tf2 time frame esc feel?
Testing some modular walls on UT3:

i think that's the second time i've ever seen good lighting in unreal - the first was in peris' abandoned colony...

Unreal 3 is a wonderful engine too bad Epic's stuff is really busy and noisy. I'm planning on doing a clean level just because Epic's levels hurt my eyes.
Looks great Mino! Love that you have some color in there 
Also, totally agree with the Epic comment. I can't stand to look at a level in UT3... All that strange blur, over the top bloom in random spots, SUPER busy textures, often badly smoothed meshes... Ok that's enough...
Anyway, hope to see you eventually make a scene or level out of this!
Yep, I definitely agree with the last 4 comments!
UE3 can be an awesome engine, if given to the hands of good artists! Look at Mirror's Edge!
Anyway, awesome stuff minos. What's this for? Just practising or planing doing a map?
That lighting isn't rebuilt though, hence the stencil like shadows. Rebuild and post again! 
awesome simon! It looks a bit unfinished now with all the hard edges and stuff, but I'm already liking the classic nice readble deathmatch map feel it has! Something they really forgot about in unreal 3
I forgot to set smoothing groups up for the rounded corner, that's why it looks weird

Yeah for some reason I hit build lighting and it kept the stencil shadows. My directional light was being shown as dynamic even though I set it to static. Go figure.

I might do a level out of this. I have lots of cool ideas in my head, like a clean colorful hi-tech office. I only want to have primary and secondary colors in this level. Something like this:

looks very peris-h 
you studied portfolios well 
looks really nice - but i don't like that spike inbetween each element, i think it looks weird from different angles somehow
Not exactly a texture, but I did this in about 30 min for a new forum I'm part of.
I still think it's too dark, but will do until we get the correct template installed.

Mmmmmm, warhounds... 
I'd agree it's a bit dark though. The hazard stripes are also quite distracting, maybe make the stripes wider and less contrasty.
Something I did few days back:

These textures are mean't to be clean, I'll do dirtier versions later.
am i the only one who can't see arhurt's picture ?
or was it removed intentionally?
