My wood texture and overall tips for painting textures.

BcM

Hello, i am currently trying to start brushing my own textures. Modelling is not a big problem but this is a new area for me.

So i would like some feedback on my first wood-try texture thingy. Not loopable and not finished, but i want to know if i'm on the right track.




My second question if anyone has any general photoshop tips. My field of expertise within photoshop is mostly editing photo-editing but not really brushing.

For example, if you look at this post http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1484221&postcount=346
How do draw such grass? It all looks extremely nice but i have no real clue how to start.

With kind regards,

BcM

Hey! I can't give much crit since it's pretty new to me too, but I found a nice texture tutorial on 3D motive, its not free sadly but if you sub for a month with a student subscription it works out pretty cheaply. http://goo.gl/GxWS2 hope this helps.

Thanks, i will surely look at that. That looks pretty good.

Try to work on being more confident in your strokes when you paint. That's the biggest issue atm. Try watching http://www.ctrlpaint.com/fluid-linework/ for help on that.

For grass I did a vimeo thing on grass. The texture is junk. But the idea is there.
