Metal textures

Quote:

simply add something like a height map and a shader for lighting and you could pass the level (with textures you've created)

---

I dont know how to do that I tryed btw , but maby I'll look into it deeper soon...

I see clearly the filters for rendered clouds, noise and sometimes a bit motion blur. You could apply such effects more subtle to generate more realism.

---

I havent used motion blur I dont like it because it produces strange lines at the ends of the texture

They're a bit too clean

---

And I tryed to make it more dirty at the ends of every segment of the textures like a wear effect , scratched and shiny in time done by humans...but it didnt looked good. I still have to learn that one

The scratches seem to be painted, copied, off-seted and multiplied / overlayed. But they need a bit variation. You could soften the ends, erase some parts. Use different thicknesses to add variation.

---

And about that one ... you're right about the thickness , maby even I'll use diffrent colors sometimes. I did those exactly like you said , thats the only way I know and I did erased some parts in those textures but I guess it wasnt enough...
Later I'll post some more if I can reacreate the drawings I did (I use paper for concept )

PS.: Those are one of my first attempts , but I've used PhotoShop for buttons and Web logos , menu , effects for wallpaper...And btw the very first few attempts look promising in Photoshop and in my imagination on how they'll look in a game but they look horrible in 3DGS , dunno why.

The cracks are not bad in shape,
But they should get a more 3-dimensional look.
Try to use the cracks as a bumpap, and apply them to the texture,
so that they really look like cracks, and not like
painted on.

i think the cracks should be darker... now they look more like they're brushed on the wall, they should be more like black.

maybe the lines between the bricks should be thicker, now it looks like they are sealed seemless together.
the stones could be a bit more 'rough' i think, it would make the walls look more interesting.

---

I thought about that , I'll try to make the edges of the bricks more decayed/cracked/weared so that it'll look less symetric , and the 'rough' part surprised me you're right , it does look a little soft (I was aiming more for a cement type of texture)
I'll try to improve those little things ("Everything is in the details!") in a few hours and I'll post another screen.

PS.: Thank you for all of your comments , it realy helps me master those techniques and improve my skills with textures! (A good level design,good scripting and good modeling is nothing without good texturing )
