totally random texture thread

dont worry squad, i'm making the textures so you can use them with various types of brushwork and architecture, not just repeat them over the wall

for example you can put a window model like this on the arch:

I love it! But a bit more color variations will make it look perfectly

A texture I did today:

No photo ressource, no ref, not tileable (? does that word exist )

Edit: There's still a lack of balancing the contrast and sharpness..

Looks good for being 100% handpainted The color is good......but (the big but) I'm not sure if I like it. It looks very rough and greasy. It's hard to read. The shadows dont give it much depth because they are very soft and loosely placed which results in the bricks looking blurred without a clear shape. Also you seem to have used pure black for doing the shading which makes it look a bit muck.

Good start tho. You should post more here

@Peri:

pretty kool, even if it DOES look like cork. You need more fancy nancy twirls on the green to really give it more of an arab look. They like putting colorful painted trims and stuff on their buildings.

Something like this maybe, only not quite as crazy:

Peri it looks really cool when applied to architecture. A thing that has to be said is that it looks really computergame'ish. Personally, with an engine this advanced, i am more interested in trying to make something look as real as possible.

Anyway, good stuff.

Edit: oh, didn't see klein's last reply. I totally agree. That would be awesome.

thanks for the comments

and i'm keeping that pic for ref usage klein.. i like the windows ;p

i know it can be more realistic but ultra realism isnt really my goal here. I just want to create something that looks pretty. Normal mapping in source is still pretyy crappy looking imo, i'm only gonna use it on textures with bigger geometric details like rocks and tiles.

maybe i'll make the paint on this one abit more complicated, dont know yet. I want to keep it simple and old school ctf map styled i think

Looks like you're doing well, then! I wasn't quite sure what I thought when I first saw it (though I immediately approved of the grid-based layout ) but seeing on geometry really sold me on it. Eager to see where you take this.

I kinda suck at texturing, but I was doing a map and I had to make up some poster designs to fit the mood, so heres one I tried.

I have yet to successfully to torn edges and whatnot, I tried a few times but nothing looked too realistic.

[mike-0]

that looks really nice peri

[Campaignjunkie]

Some "desert palace" type textures. (mostly photosourced from Mayang / stock.xchng) Yes, I know I am shameless.

[Nysuatro]

Wow very nice

[Zacker]

I like making thorn edges so I also had to try with this one:) It's just a quickie made solely by painting a bit with some of the special brushes.

[Kreigore]

I had to destroy it!

Sorry, I just couldnt resist!

[curman]

Tis not bad, but it's not what I was lookin for.

It looks a lil' unrealistic, I mean this isnt totally destroyed, really I just meant corners and maybe few tears. This looks like a bomb hit it D:

[Kreigore]

Ok, here a less "wartorn" aproach.

[kleinluka]

peel the paper around some of the edges
