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...

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 ???

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.

Maybe try something that actually is something? Practising on this won't give too much i think.

OK

I'm doing the hard painting tut now, over at CG_S. Anyone know where I could get some great brushes that are good for texture work ???

Quote from buddy the designer

looks like rubber johnny, what 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...

Thanks mate.

I've been trying to do tis for months. Its only when I looked at your PSD I finally sorted it out. I've come to the concluion that I cant do an AO to a UV map...

Quote from clayman

if you give up you will never find out =)

Ok

I'll never give up,hehe.

Help please

Quote from clayman

nice fonfa, thats cool, i really dont care about file size although the psd file should be kept nice and simple when i work i dont look at that, i try to put that focus on the texture itself instead :Pbut hey, nice to se you have your eyes open

p2xelgen thats lookin cool crank up those parameters so you loose the noise in the render =)

Thanks for showing me the way One thing I cant seam to get it to work when I render to texture...

As for parameters

???

I just cracked it:

I'm the happest man on the planet.

I've been trying to learn how to create Ambient Occlusion, using max 07. Yaaaaaa and finally I have cracked it. This will help me light models and texture a 100 folds better.

So here it is: Not much ha

[Blocked Image: http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n86/Pixelgen/Yaaaaaaaaaaaa.jpg]

I'm sure there's no way of making an occlusion map in max 7...

Quote from clayman

I made a mesh in Maya, and used that mesh for my normalmap, occlusion and heightmap..

occlusion thats the white texture with shadow detail in it? I only have max7 is there anyway I can do occlusion or something close ?

DiD you model ti first and then render out a light map.

Whats your 3D app
