I haven't created any textures in a long while so go easy on me

I did this tonight. Each piece fits together.

After looking at it for a bit, I may add more knicks to the the right and left walls of the door as well.

Heres another new one I made tonight.

Why isnt the lock on the first (white stuff) textures normalmapped? Other than that, it looks fine to me... On the last texture here though, the trim (wood) around the door looks a little bit too... straight... I dont really know how to explain it more, but it doesnt fit very well for me

Keep up the good work though, I wish I had your skills

[Grinwhrl]

That wood frame was from a real door from an old house. The door was from another old house. The texture wil be used for an old house, was thinking something like what you seen in Saw 2.

About the normalmap, i was told if it were not flat it may look funny ingame, but i will play with it in game and see.

Thanks for the crits

I think making a set of this. Could you guys give me some advice pleas.

Good textures, Dark, but don't use normal maps like that. For what you're doing you'll want to be using height maps. Trust me, you'll get crisper edges and a less "plastic" ingame appearance.

go easy on me, im a nub

Im aware of the repetitiveness in the trim and base wall, im using the gimp so theres only so much i can do (that im aware of anyhow)

and yes, its edited mayang stuff..

Thanks Postman, I will learn how to do them.

dc-mike, I think they look decent, bit blurry to me, but I like them.

There is just something about it I don't like :\. Perhaps it doesn't have enough definition? Actually, I think it just lacks the proper contrast.

[st0lve]

Yeah, there is a reason why it never moved out of my WIP folder.

[Quakis]

Practising to work on textures again - although suggestions are very welcome since I really like to improve.

humm you should get rid of all lighting when making textures. You can try this technique, it works sometimes:
