My first hand painted texture!

razzta91 · Apr 2013

Hallo guys

Today I have made my very first hand painted texture.

So I could really use some feedback to be better

Hey there, Razz.

You're starting out in a good direction, really selling the shape and starting to get into some lighting information.

The things I can say is that some of your details feel a little sloppy, and rushed. I would recommend you look up real wood planks and figure out how to add similar details into your textures.

If you're doing that but still hung up on application (and who isn't, the first time they try something) I would recommend watching this guys lecutres.

Very good information, and keep posting as you work more so we can see where you're heading, Hand painted materials are hard, but pay off oh so well!

Later, dude!

After watching one of the videos I tried one more time.

This is what I have done

You've fallen into the trap that a lot of folks do when painting boards by making them fit together like a jigsaw. The bumps and dips on the edges shouldn't fit together neatly like that.

Yeah, I can see what you mean

Gannon · Apr 2013

Try to stay away from small brushes unless you're doing edge details. It feels like you're getting really sketchy brush strokes which are making this noisy around the edges of wood. Just to clarify - I don't mean the filter>noise>motion blur.

When I paint wood planks I let the brush strokes overlap so that it can create the grain for me. From there I find interesting lines and create cracks in the wood.

Starting "hand-painted" textures from wood is a bit overkill imo. Try stones, blocks, tiles, whatever - they are much more forgiving.

dystopianghost · Apr 2013

Your headed in the right direction, just keep practicing I would have to agree with Adij stone, brick and other materials along that line are much easier to render out for your first time.

Such good advice that seems so damn obvious in hindsight. I'm positive I've made this mistake before. :poly136:

Hey

I working on a stone texture right now, but I can´t really get the bevel going.

Do you guys have a trick on how to fix that?

Rebo421 · May 2013

For the stone i think you started worrying about the small details like cracks and stuff before you built up the actual stone underneath. the brush also seems very sketchy for the cracks. it may be the actual brush your using try a round standard brush for basing out the stone.
