quick fake Ambient Occlusion and shadow technique

metric meditation

Hey Folks! I just wanted to share a quick technique for textures. This is an easy way to make your shapes "pop" of the screen a little more, and make things feel a little more stylized. It should be used sparingly, but it can produce some nice effects.

How about if you guys share some results with this technique on your textures.

leave a tip in the tip jar at the home page of this video... thanks in advance.

Thanks for the tips

Just went through some of your videos, and they're great. You mentioned making tutorials for sale on more texturing techniques in one of your other videos. I'm definitely interested, but wondering how you are planning to do these and where I can follow to make sure I don't miss them.

Thanks for the share, and excited to see more

I just watched this and the grass one. Love it! So many things I didn't know about photoshop!

Thank you so much for these videos! As a college student, these tutorials have been a godsend! You explain everything perfectly and your tutorials have helped me learn more about hand painted textures. I love your videos and I cant wait till you release the premium ones!

Definitely can not wait for the premium tutorials. These are just too good to pass up.

Thanks for the feedback. Its a really simple technique that may take some tweaking here and there. I am not trying to promote any specific art style, regardless of the different companies I worked with and the various games I worked on :P Certainly working on WOW had a major impact

I'm still staying tuned for the premium stuff myself. I am planning on some hardcore hand painted practice soon.

Thanks Jamin!
