AWESOME! Thanks a bunch for the tutorial. I had been wanting to do this kind of textures for some time now.
I learnt a hell of a lot from this. To think that I had always created metal textures using mostly filters. Never again I say! Excellent tutorial!
I just started learning Photoshop and I've seen two other tutorials, one from a book and one from Game-Artist.net and I have to say this is much more hands on and produces a much better end result than the render>cloud method.
Thanks alot! =) I appreciate it, and I'm glad you found it learning.
I will make more, be sure of that!
The render>cloud is NOT to be used :P
Please leave comments all other who downloads and watch, it's my first one, so feedback and crits would be great! =)
If you can't think of the next one to do, a quick glass, wood or tiling petterned floor texture would be good.
how about future looking steel?
I have these in mind:
-Wood
-Plaster
-Concrete
-Div nature types (grass, snow, ice, jungle etc)
Please suggest =) I'll consider them!
I've always sucked with metal, thanks for this tutorial! Much needed. :D
it is great site :) thank you :)
I was able to watch the first 9 minutes yesterday evening before i got pulled away from my PC by my parents. Def the best tutorial on metal texture i have ever seen :D
Now make one for Wood and ill love you for ever lol
I'll have to say this is probably one of the best texture creation tuts on the web. I learned more in those 30 minutes then using how to: books over the past year. Just goes to show theres no substitue for seeing someone do it and explainning the steps.
Thank you a lot for making this VTM, I'm finally able to turn all those texture ideas in my head into viable game content. Kudos! :)
