Making Hi-res Textures...discusion thread

[Mr.Wolna]

hey guys how i can make my textures tiling?

 

[gitech]

Give us an example please.

Maybe I will make a vid for you.

Give me the "ready" .psd with the textures you want to use in the layers and I will tile it on video for you.

There are also programs that will tile for you but I do not like the results of the simple ones. A PS plugin called Luxogy Imagsynth will help you make tiling textures with photos and such, but it's difficult to get a good result without repitition within the texture.

Mode7, can you give me/us some advice for using imagesynth?

Later,
Jay

 

[Mr.Wolna]

yes i know this tool, mode tell me already about it. i will try by myself with offsets and clone brush, i think i will find a tutorial via goggle, so first i try and when i cannot make yo can do the video

But there is something that i must to knew else. How i can paint the black pattern into a new layer?

Because i want not to sue a complete new texture, i want make it with your technology, cause i like that the result is similar to original but hires.

just ry it and it wokr but not so fine, i think you should make the tutorial , cause that si something that not specific and all artist and beginners can use not only me.

 

[gitech]

Can you upload the actual texture for me? How many textures are related to this one? If more than just this one than can you upload all of them so I can show you how to make them tile with eachother as well. It is difficult to explain.

I will include doing the black as well.

I know know how to make tiled now, BUT as i said i think it will be intrested for other artist who are jus beginning. The last 2, 3 days i did not make new textures just practice practice and practice, but i will do today , we will see how it will be.


Oh, yeah here is the texture, yes it's only one, the rest of the "lair" Stage is just walls (bricks) and there do not have to be tiled.


Greets Wolna. I am really confident that i can show your really nice textures in a couple of week, as i said at the very beginning i'am a swift learner . But without your help guys i wouldn't process so fast as i am now.

Ok finally here is the original texture (8x)

Imagesynth 2, is pretty simple to use

1. start programm or plugin

2.Create new texture in the programm or create a new PS image with the plugin(size depending on how big your base photo is).

3. down left corner -> add Image and load the photo you want to create a textuzre from (you can also mix photos/materials)

4. in the main window you se two register buttons: Input und Output.

5. choose input and select the area you want to create a texture from (this is gone be your stamp.normally a rectangel is enough, but sometimes you need the lasso). You can force a selection that imagesynth must use with the force button.

6. Now you choose output and fill your texture with the stamp.

7. If you still see some obivous transitions or annoying detail you can erase that area and stamp another area.

Thats the basics feel free to experiment with the programm
good look

Depending on the type of lighting and shadows needed.
