Making textures. Created 18 years ago2006-05-12 10:58:33 UTC by Tosse

Im getting better at making my own textures, i have finaly finished banko_arena and it turned out nothing like the beta. And i started a new project just now, done some drawing. But i need to know if there is any special trick to do when making nice concrete and ice textures, it?s those two i have a hard time doing, and steel. Can someone please give me some tips on how to make it look good?

assuming you're using photoshop-

When making concrete, make your plain grey slab and then get a purply colour. Set a blurred round brush at opacity of around 10. Splash several dots of this purple onto the concrete. Make sure its random looking. Do the same with brown and green.
Finally, add a very small amount of noise.
The low opacity colours make it look like random murk, and the noise looks like the little grainy holes you get in concrete.

I've never tried with ice, but surely just a very pale blue/white, then make it translucent in hammer....

I agree with you about trying to make metal. Its the devil's work

that i think that part about the concrete helped.
thanks!

when i said ice i more meant like this frosty kind of ice, with some snow you know. Im going to add that to the concrete
