Meh, a 20 min slack job tex..

Heh, I call it rusty conveyer belt XD

heres a rusty piece of iron. Could be useful for anyone wanting to make some sort of industrial revolution/steampunk type stuff.

well I give up, this is my best try so far

So far they've been all bad except maybe weavers and his I can only think of one use for, on an acid shooter with arghs new flame code, we need more generally useful stuff guys, if its only a 20 minute slack job don't bother posting it.

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 14 Sep 2006, 13:05

Okay, sure, I needn't post at all, cuz wasting more than 20 mins isn't a good idea..

It's a learning process, you didn't waste it but spend it on learning texturing!

Here:

See? It doesn't need to be big to be beautiful. Even if it's nasty, rusted scrap

And yes, it tiles perfectly. Took me about 15 minutes in Photoshop.

Well, in a way, I guess JC is right.

And Argh put shadows on his texture, lol

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 14 Sep 2006, 13:25

Yeah... shadows make it look 3D. Which is the point. How do you think I make everything for NanoBlobs look so good?

Snipawolf · Post by **Snipawolf** » 14 Sep 2006, 13:29

Bleh, I can't make a good "mainstay" metal texture..

I am going to have to experiment and make a lot of textures, to see what works..

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 14 Sep 2006, 13:50

Here's another quickie.

Fair enough, my first attempt was pretty abysmal. so heres a 25 minute hack job

Some scratched up metal, tiles well horizontally.

My advice to anyone learning to do things like this is practice lots, delete regularly.

Argh has the idea.

Lol... I would certainly hope so. Care to enter the ring?

Machiosabre · Post by **Machiosabre** » 14 Sep 2006, 14:20

trying a 128x128 one then

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 14 Sep 2006, 14:30

Much better, but it feels like SNES graphics- not enough attention to your light sources for the pipes, and that blue-gray is obviously hovering over the lighter gray beneath. Also it doesn't tile nicely- the little bolts need to be on the inside of the main bevel. And the pink just looks odd. All that said, much better

I model, not texture.

Argh · Post by **Argh** » 14 Sep 2006, 15:01

Modelers who can't skin are like guys who can only play power chords. Besides which, I have seen your early screens, so I know you at least crossed some of that threshhold

This is a part of my kbot-lab remake texture.

Doesn't title tidly tough...

[Edit]
A smaller version. (128*128) Thx Argh
