WIP - texturing process
Hey guys recently modeled this building, its a civilian house for a desert themed map for the UDK. Now i wanted to ask u guys to review my texturing process and perhaps give it some constructive criticism, if you could please. (All images can be enlarged by clicking on them) Now here is how i got to that current texture.… -

Re: WIP - texturing process
Oh ok. Well in that case, anyone got some tips on how i can do some effective grunge on a desert building? ZacD has already told me about lightening up exposed edges while darkening corners.

Re: WIP - texturing process
That book is long outdated. It's reliance on Photoshop filters gives a false sense of ability and will only inspire knockoffs. Learning traditional art, and religiously following the copious amount of information on internets forums such as Polycount, will simply yield a greater understanding and a more competent use of…
