looks very good man

i had one of those tablets before but ended up returning it... not enough desk space

you could always do something like : open the pattern as a seperate document, rescale it, and then save/reload it in your main document

Layer options: pattern overlay has much better controls than regular pattern fill.

How did you do those rust effects on photoshop btw?

Havent tried that before, ill look into it, thanks!



Slapped on top a previously made rusty texture with overlay and pin light blending modes. Heres the file DL link for everyones scrutiny.

[FAIL: media fire hates at the moment. BOOO! will upload shortly, when its behaving itself]


My layer names and folders are not exactly professional, but it works for me so far lol. Dirt chunk 1 & 2 are just copied bits of the texture with that dirty detail that showed well with the layer options. WISH i still had that brush set!! May end up making my own scratch brush set now i got a tablet for it.

Tips on layer structure or other techniques very welcome

@KaiserJ
I tried the specular map & cavity map (bump map?) bits of your tutorial, but didnt work out to well in 3dmax. But im s**t at max, and will give it another try soon.

Ok, hope that works!

Lulz, with pattern overlay on layer blending options you can do the scaling very easily...
