You make the textures yourself. At least that's what I do.

Three words:Hi-Res Digital Camera.

Works wonders.Also, a good healing/clone stamp usage in Photoshop makes them tilable!And how!

Couldn't agree more, Though I'm at a loss for a digital camera, I usually use raw photos and edit them. Photoshop is a powerful tool for those who know how to use it.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

this probably belongs in "editing and coding" but whatever. @ everyone who said make them yourself: its much harder then it used to be. now you have to make "materials" instead of using wads. the valve tutorial sucks so its going to be much harder to make them yourself.

Me and Cyanide both have a clear understanding of how to make textures. If you have any modelling experience, "materials" are nothing new. There is also bump-maps and shaders. The main part of making textures however, is having a clear understanding of whatever 2d application you use. For me, it's photoshop.

...this thread makes no sense

a material is something you put onto a 3d object to give it a flat texture.

in hl2 they have the following: texture maps, bump maps and normal maps.

and i believe you mean 2d program

in hl2 they have the following: texture maps, bump maps and normal maps.

And gloss maps.

Our doom3 skinner doesn't even know what's a material.

That was just plain stupid....

- He wants it for hammer since they are BUILDING FACES. You have to make VMT for hammer now, not wads (just like i said).

- I asked how to make Doom 3 skins, i wasnt teaching them so shut the hell up. You're making an ass out of yourself again by not knowing what the hell you're talking about. I use hammer almost every day and i didnt say i didnt know what a material is. He doesnt want textures for models, he wants them for buildings. Great job bart you really showed me
