Texture Competition 0001 - Metal Texture
Moderators: MR.D, Moderators
You guys are missing the point, about half of these "metal" textures that have been shown are your basic palettes.
Its something you could use to make good metal, like these last 2 that are just grey looking patches, you take that and start applying filters, and do some dodge/burn work on it.
From there you can start to make piece that would actually look like metal.
Metal is one of the hardest things to make into texture and make it look good, it takes alot of time and practice to get good at metal.
I would say that wood or flesh is the next hardest on the list.
Try looking in some modeling forums for other games such as FPS games, Halflife2 mods like Counterstrike and DOD use alot of metal textures, but not so industrial looking as what most of you are after.
Look around these forums or look for some good tutorials on making textures, thats the best place to start.

Not mine, i was just to buzy with the Trenches.. it is part of a Texture Archive i got by a friend. It is metall however... and i used it for Speedrnetall
THis are some thrown together MetallTextures i did - however the are small and could only be used for some Kind of Steelpunk. buT I LIKE THE RUSTED coper.

@RightField:
Try to keep light directions consistant. It feels computer-generated, and the overlapping lines defeat attempts at relative perspective. And it's too big- aim for smaller, tighter, hand-painted work, instead of using a bunch of filters.
@Weaver:
Very nice
About the only critique I could think of is that people could probably use a less-rusty version, too. It tiles very nicely.

There's no filters use. Just overlays and layer modes.

Would you like to run that one? It would be useful, but I'm not willing to post any of my modelling attempts at this point.P3374H wrote:How about a weekly model contest as well?
