Road to Become an Artist

Hello,

I have been modeling be a while now. But i have never tried to create a job out of a hobby. The main thing I am trying to learn is texturing and uv-mapping. I have almost no experience with both. Also my CPU and GPU are failing so this my reflect in the art that i post here. I don't want to push it to hard and have them complete die on me.

This is my current texture practice. I made one brick in mudbox. Then made a normal and AO. Then i colored it in Photoshop and overlay an rock texture. Any help in any sort will be appreciated. Also I know that you can tell it is a just a copy and paste of the one brick. Once i get my new pc it won't look like this.

well, i can already tell just by looking at this, that if you put this in an engine or setup a quick mat in maya or whatever... that brick is going to look wet. and those normals are pretty strong for being a concrete brick. Another thing, this won't tile correctly. to help get a texture to tile, go into photoshop, go to filters>custom>offset set to 500 on both and then hit enter. that should show you any seams in your tileable.

Now it is tileable. I also re did the normal map. How do they look now?

Why are you tiling the same brick.

^he said in the post that he'd be changing it once he gets a new computer. I think it was more for practice sake, not for use, just to get an idea of spec/normal/diffuse. but you really should fix that when you get the chance.
