Epic Crate - My first hand painted textured model.

JordanN

So I took the advice of others and started with something easier to help me learn texture mapping. The result was this 1024 x 512 texture and 80 polygons crate.




Here is the finished texture.




Earlier, I did a much worse paint job which I immediately scrapped (ewwww).


I followed the tutorials found in the polycount wiki to achieve the much more professional looking texture.


I also created a model with a bump map!

looking epic~!

how about add more tones, contrast, in the grains etc. to make it more interesting, more visual?

I was meant to do that. I got so immersed in the painting process that the more time I spent with it, the more the texture evolved.

I actually reused one of the textures because it looked more realistic than the one I painted before it. But the whole process took me 2 hours so I decided to rest.

Howcome there are six of the same texture? You need to look in to overlaying uv's, if all of the sides are he same you texture one side and just overlay the uvs. This allows you to get much more pixel resolution out of your texture space and not waste loads of room! Very important!

I wasn't sure if I wanted all sides to look the same in the beginning. It was also to practice fitting many uv coordinates in the same bitmap. But I will remember for the future!

Hey Jordann, try to go more stylistic. Hand painted textures refers to more of a style, think wow, wildstar ext.

Here's a quick example I found
