Textures - Beginner stuff Created 17 years ago2007-05-12 01:04:58 UTC by Loki

Hey, iv just started a map am kinda havin trouble with the textures. just looking for general stuff on how to make it look as natural ...as possible.

-can u fit the textures on certain sides? After fitting the textures on the main side of the wall or object the top or sides look streched.
-is there a way to fit the textures for the height...then tile the pattern horizontally. As opposed to fitting both vertically and horizontally...which makes it look streched horizontally if im making a long wall.

Also, anyone know where i can find a tut on keycards?

Thanks in advance.

Oh and and how do i un-fit a texture? a simple clicking of the button again doesnt seem to work...nor does pressing any of the others.

how do i used edit button?

hah, man...ur doing the noob thing...well...bet that was worth ur time, itd be 1 quick post for anyone helpfull enough whos used hammer before i imagine. i told u iv just started using hammer now. nm the fact that it says beginner in the post title. if its such a problem ill just look at a tut, probably what u did when u started mapping...no? alright then.

That should answer all of your questions.
Check the tutorials/entity info/glossary, before posting in the forum, ffs. Most of the usual beginner questions are answered there.

Don't stretch your textures to fit your brushwork. Either build the brushwork around the textures, use textures that fit right, or make custom ones.
