Hi everyone, attached is a preview of my first attempt at making segments. Texturing models is one thing but making seamless ones, WHOAH!

I never thought it would be such a challenge. Heres to all those great segment makers out there.

Feel free to leave comments.

Alright, better than I started. What are you using? But not bad for a start.

There are plenty of free texture sites around with textures that can be edited (made seamless) to suit a first person shooter game.

Painting textures completely from scratch is difficult and very time consuming. Unless your game is sci-fi this is going to eat up a lot of your development time.

I found this tutorial brilliant and enabled me to start making much better seamless textures within a couple of hours of employing these methods.

Attached is a screenshot showing a segment I made with a free unedited ground texture.

Here is a screenshot of the same segment floor after using the methods demonstrated in the tutorial link provided.

Good work on starting custom segments. Given thats what you'll be spending a fair amount of time in an FPSC game looking at, it's a good idea to know how to make them look as good as possible.

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much. Though, I did use photos, which I edited to make half seamless in photoshop.

Thanks again.

nice well if your using entity workshape there is a function that will let you in large your texture and since your textures are plain colors so you wont have to worry about blurring the texture.
