hmm covers only very basic tips but it's still very useful for beginners. Like peris would say "making textures is like making love to a girl... you need maybe a few tutorials to get started but from then its all experience... Also tips from your buddies can be useful"
good job man
You would help me very much to explain me how to make "good" brushes for texturing. Some tricks and tips. And how to use the brush options ...
Download some grunge brushes. There are plenty on da interwebs.
Maybe you should make a tutorial on how to make custom brushes.
Where's teh normalmap/spec/heightmap tutorials?
Edit: Can people stop using nextgen 
The next person who uses it, I'll murder your whole family and your gold fish.

oh boy thanks so much for saying this. you just got +1000exp in my mind 
a tutorial on creating normalmaps from photobased textures would be nice. though i got my own workflow it would be nice to see how others do.
greetings.
could you please stop that unneccessary discussion O_o
mr. Pericolos0 did so well in clearin this in the random texture thread...
yeh im no pro an all, but everyone knows what people mean with "next gen" on that forum, so quotin every post and whatnot is so not useful but annoying instead...
i'm sorry but i don't wanna scroll around in such threads to not must read all of these lines of discussion. i just wanna see the pictures
and just because 3-4 elite pro people are against using such "unpro" terms they don't have to destroy thread after thread... 
want picture? here you got pricture!

Thanks a lot for doing this, I've never tried to make textures before for Source, just need to get the normal map working.

Also, how do you get spec maps working in Source?
depends, either make a spec map and save it out as a vtf and throw
$envmapmask "path/texture"
in your vmt or put the specmap in the normal maps' alpha channel and add
"$normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1
Method - Have you tried crazy bump? It outputs better results than that photoshop filter thing.
Hehe little doom3 mappers reunion here
Zombie, I remember you joining the internal Recall to Hell support forums, some time ago.
Method - Yeah I know who you are. I'm leaving SD to a newer and [whisper] better place [/whisper] Start at Grin in July sometimes in Sweden!
Nice tutorial, I've always wanted to learn how to create my own textures, and this tutorial answers alot of questions that I had. 
Thanks.

Well, i decided to try and make it a little better. I didn't really want to go for an overly decayed look, but I still like it.
