TEXTURES: Official Thread

[Equinox 1,218]

Does anybody have a texture suitable for the side of the valve portion of a tanker truck?  Like where all the knobs, levers, and gauges are?

[jestarr 3,423]

mrbisonm, will either of these work?

 

     

 

Your post mentioned emerald green, so that's what I went for last time.

[mrbisonm 1,622]

nosoupforyou, YES, you couldn't have mentioned a better example!

 

jestarr, these look pretty close, maybe if you could put both of them on the last page' metal roof texture, I might be able with Paint to darken them a bit.

 

thanks...

[nosoupforyou 9]

does anyone have a texture that may look good on this model?

the arrows are pointing to the parts that i need it for.

it's supposed to be a subterranian dwelling for my soon to come C&C lots.
i need a greyish metal color.

and so that this post isn't a waste, i'm gonna put a nice tile texture up.

[couchpotato 8]

Many of us have hundreds of gray metal textures but I'm not sure what you're looking for

See if any at my website are suitable.  Be sure to check the Rising Sun link for textures done for that project.

Hey. Does anyone know a good window texture like this?:

For this?

I can get it in photoshop, but when I crop it, it turns out crooked. So now Im asking you guys to help me

[Psyko 0]

For the post above me rotate it ( Ctrl-T ) and that should solve your problems.

I hope these are useful to someone.

[ZipZapZop 2]

Residential siding! Just what I needed for my project, thanks tragic! Do you have any yellowish-orange ones though?

[Vanderaap 455]

and how

[budweiserdude23 80]

I thought I'd share this texture with whomever wants it. I found it diificult to find a good tire tread texture but this one works really nice.

 

[ardecila 125]

ZipZapZop: If you have Photoshop, you can change the color by going to Image>Adjust>Hue/Saturation/Brightness.

Here's a nice mowed grass texture I've been using a lot lately. Sort of a R$$$ lawn type of grass since it's so green and pristine. It might be a little too green for some.

[nosoupforyou 9]

can i get a good desert camo texture?

[Maranello575 5]

does anyone have a texture of a very dark bronze window?

[jbbry232 87]

Hey everybody, what's up?

 

Could i get someone to make this: into a tileable texture? 

 

As you can see.. the pic is from an angle that would make the bricks not line up perfectly in gmax.   Maybe someone could make one that does?

You know, I searched most of the texture sights listed for an hour or two, and then I had a thought. Regarding certain archetectural details, such as doors, windows and such, I simply did an internet search on those (seperately) and found enough door and window company sites and historical architecture sites that I not only found more than i could ever imagine using, I even found a photo with the near exact design of the door on my house (my first BAT I'm working on) Also, being Irish, let me recommend a search on doors of Dublin if you want some snazzy R$$$ doors for your buildings.

I'm searching for a texture/color that goes on cilinders like this.



infact its for these same towers only recreated in Gmax but I dont have any idea how to get a texture like this shiny and stuff. Ralphael yours are getting pretty close but they are still a bit to dark. Any ideas guys were to look best? Nice shiny metal textures for tubes and stuff would be best

Decius, this probably wouldn't so much be a texture, as it would be a special material you setup:

it needs custom-tweaked specular & diffuse lighting, and you will probably have to play with the phong/blinn/etc shading systems. Also, it appears that the render you posted is using a reflection...so you could either use an environmental one (I don't think that works in GMAX, could be wrong), or a mapped reflection. You may be able to pull it off in GMAX, but you may need 3dstudio to do it.

However, they definitely cannot be achieved using just a texture map.

Can anyone make me a texture like this one.

I want the skiny kinda windows.

Thanks in advance.

[Odd from Sweden 129]

Kopaka, first a building never looks like this in the game, because of the aerial view. If You look at a glass building from the ground like in that picture, the sky is reflected in the glass. But when You look at a building from the sky like you do in the game, the ground is reflected in the glass.

 

It is very hard to make good glass skyscraper textures, and I am no expert. But this is something that might work for a start:
