TEXTURE STAND OFF : SEWER WALL

dammit all these textures look awesome

anyone has some great texture tutorial =)?

Ya no shit, these are beautiful. Hit me up if you want a project to work on

EDIT: Sry for double posting, my internet blinked on me.

Ok after several years of encouraging from Klein, I finally decided to try texturing. This is what I came up with in like....4 hours (whilst struggling to get PS to work with me).

It's a bit too bright, but in-game it looks ok.

This wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, so hopefully I'll be able to do my own textures from now on

I'll certainly keep practicing.

Edit: Also the pipes/wires near the top are waaaay too low res, but meh.

The green looks weird, like it's just a hue layer or something and has no texture or character of it's own.

Wow, excellent effort for a first time! My first texture (which is still pretty much my ONLY texture) was just some crappy bog standard metal wall. Did you read any tutorials or anything, or just dive in and play around?

The latter. Of course, I'm sure the end result would be alot better if I had read a few tutorials first

how the hell do you guys do this stuff?

hmm maybe i should try.. havent made a real highdetail texture for a loooong time

insta, a few tips from a fellow-beginner

Change the color of the green, a little more yellow and less saturated should work i think. You already said that those pipes are too low-res, i also think they're a bit too dark compared to the rest of the texture. Also, some of those stones around that circle uh thingy in the middle are cut of in a weird way, same goes for those stones at the top and bottom of the texture.

But, above all, well done for a first texture. Work on it a bit more and you've got yourself a winner

Thanks Daan0

Probably won't touch this texture anymore, but it was a fun learning experience. I'm focusing my efforts on replicating the Combine metal style as seen in HL2 to skin some models for a singleplayer map. Tricky stuff :E

You know, i learned many things from working on a texture until it was just perfect, asking feedback in the meanwhile. It really helps

I had a lot of fun with this one!

It looks strange but i wanted to make something differentb

Mmmhmm, well, it's a little akward. By that, I mean good job first off. The erosion of pant towards the bottom is an excellent job. But something about it appears more 'cartoony' around the red bricks and the wrench.

also, mind if I ask your source pictures (if ya did use any) of the bricks?

round2~

that looks real purdy my african american brethren.

thats nice. i just made a test with that and darkened the bricks down to be sort of a brownish dark red and thought that looked pretty sweet in combination with the trim. try it.

Yeah, it's coo. I gotta make it tile, the problem I messed up when I sized my bricks down, it's no longer matching the 'pattern' most bricks have, but oh well, hopefully it'll go unnoticed. Also, I feel my trim lacks something, like a pipe, or perhaps wires, a sewer grate, somethang.

grafitty

I'd go for a little grate at the bottom

A bit like that but only with the ground and water level.

Oh and yeah i really like it as well
