My first model_texture:
I'm going to use this thread so you guys/girls can take the piss out of my piss-poor 2d art, or if I'm lucky I might get a back-slap and tips and advice.

I created a simple model and then render out a AO map and just mess with a few ideas in CS... 
PLZ give feedback...
what is it? looks like a mechanical insect leg or something with a hazard symbol on it
Quote from static07what is it?

I guess you have a small one, at best... 
LoL
Not sure really, just knocked up shitty little model. UV mapped it and then did an AO, before heading into CS to try and create a texture UV...
Edit:
A quick render...

Maybe try something that actually is something? Practising on this won't give too much i think.
Seach for "custom brushes" into Google... Who knows !? 
Oh and looks like a worm to me !

Been there did that, cant really find good brushed for scratches and light/shaodws.
look for "eninnew" (that's my default) an look for "custom brushes photoshop grundge"
The eninnew was done by some guy from the modding szene and has everything from paper overlay, scratches and plastic to hakenkreuzes, weapon brands and tree lines. You can't really do any wrong with them.
Looks like a cable to me... Nice job anyhow.
Thanks for tha e-freakt...
I need some help...
I'm trying to do the Hard surface texture tut but I'm not sure if I'm plainting scratches on right.:

I'm using a brush with 1/2pixels around where I want the scratches, I'm using screen and opacity 76%. I'm also using Gaussain Blur to take the edge off ???

looks like raffled cloth rather than scratches. Scratches on metal are very suprificial, I prefer to use the dodge tool, 1px, 100% hardness within a selection 2 pixels width.
and work it out like this:

dodge/burn are not too great
use layers with appropriate colours for high/low colours.
gives you much more control to go and change something later.

Wrong.

Anyone got any tuts on doing scratches/aging/chips and dents. The TuT on CG is great but I think I need to learn the basics. I've also found that AO are great for creating normal maps, just use crazy bump...

For the love of god,Pls help, with tuts.
Picked up UT3 today and it runs shit. got to upgrade card,arrrrrrr...
yes but you can't edit dodge/burn later... use seperate layer set to overlay or mulitply or whatever and use light or dark colors to achieve the effect.
nothing wrong with dodge and burn, aslong as you know that they also change the color saturation, not only the brightness/darkness. So dont use it if you just want to adjust that.
true, I would use it on a grayscaled layer, where I make my lightning, then blend it over the rest of the texture layers.
I find this the easiest, fastest method to create such metal textures
