Competition #9 - Salohcin

[Salohcin]

Here's a WiP of my first texture. The door is the breaker and the rest is the tiling one.



I'm basically just going for a sort of big bad evil dude's underground fortress sort of place.

As always, open to critique, but keep in mind that I'm fairly new to texturing.

[Defeat]

looks good so far, add a little more texture to it. Btw do we have to make 3 tileable textures and a breaker for each one? So like 3 breakers and 3 tileables?

[Salohcin]

Thanks, and yes, that seems to be the case.

[Salohcin]

Working on second!

[DooFi]

ooh, get rid of those clouds
And the scratches look kinda painted on in some areas. Probably try setting the scratch layer to dodge or somethin?

[Salohcin]

Thanks for the suggestions The scratches are already mostly dodge, but I'll try to make them more subtle. Also, about the "cloudy" area; I was trying to get a sort of light alloy type material, any ideas?

Photosourced overlays for a bit of friendly noise.

See this thread on how to make a tiling texture from photographs:

Experiment with opacity, brightness, contrast and saturation.
You can blend a mixture together, for example you might want a different effect on the bottom section, filters can be quite cool for metallic surfaces.
Use layer-masks to vary the opacity of the texture, same rule applies in any alpha map - light emphasizes (white for solid solid in this case) and dark dulls (transparent).

I agree with Pankaka, the textures could definitly use some extra detail. Becouse as for now you have some basic colored shapes, and one can assume that they are metal, but you can't realy tell that by looking at them. Some rust, highlighted edges, etc will definitly help here...

Good luck

Sorry AzA, but photobucket has worked much better for me. Have you checked if your browser is blocking Photobucket images.
