totally random texture thread

clown is pretty open about stuff, he even sent me .psds before of his textures, so i doubt hes gonna really care, but I think it looks great clown

[this is the clown]

your bricks are your problem. WHen you inset the windows its just a straight line. Thats not real. Instead have some of the bricks OVERLAP the windows by a little bit. Getting better but it needs work.

Excellent advice, thank you for ever so much for that!

Admittedly not perfect but a step in the right direction (I think..), Cheers Koko and Ferret

yea better, but i think the sides need borders too, because that s where the overlap impression is the more obvious

[Pericolos0]

put a soft shadow in there so they seem to be lying deeper

You could try placing windows so that the bricks fit to the borders of the window. What happens now is that part of a brick is getting hidden behind the window and that's not what happens in real world, does it?

I didn't work on tiling it yet, I basically was trying to get the depth feel with the doorway to blend equally with the wall, but I still thing it looks terrible. Could someone give me a few pointers, maybe dirt over the door cause it seems to clean-ish?

[von*ferret]

well

there should be a gap on the right side of the door where it hinges so that the door doesn't hit bricks? So it needs borders around the door I'd say.

APPARENLTY the bricks are 'gay' to some people, so im redoing that, keeping my door though you lousy schmucks

[von*ferret]

I like the bricks, they're different. If they were normal mapped properly it would be amazing. I'd say keep going on it.

I like the bricks but I think the whole thing is too bright. It looks like a photo that was taken with the sun shining directly onto the surface. Darken that down some. Also try to add some dirt going up from the bottom of the wall.

Edited up a bit, I dunno, still kinda crappy :s

[DarkNemisis]

I like it

The problem of this texture is not your technical ability, it's well made. However, the scaling is badly chosen. The bricks suggest a certain size of the wall, the door suggest a completely different size. And that's making my brain hurt . I think that if you scale down the bricks, put more rows of them in the texture, that that would help a lot. I really like how the bricks overlap the door on the rightby the way, but you might wanna work a bit on the top. Walls end with bricks usually, people don't put that uh, gray crap (cement? in dutch) at edges.

I like it. I live in a very old german town and i can tell you that within the last millenium people used all sizes of bricks/stones and every possible crap to fill gaps. It doesnt make my brain hurt.

does that tile, clown? i might need to use that.
