HD Planes / Textures

[Linus Ågren]

Also, one thing I forgot to mention: Try to make the textures tileable since the moment you make the photo. I'm even making some photographs to stuff to improve my skills.

If I was you, I'd try first to make photographs of artificial things (a wall of your house, or the street floor, some building bricks, etc) so you get practice with more-or-less easy textures. Nature is a real challenge to make in a game, so try first with something simplier (like the bricks) and, when you have the experience, photograph nature.

Making the pics excellent already with the camera will save a lot of time, as you won't have to be bitching in programs. (It isn't bad, it just consumes time).

Practice makes perfect, eh? Although it does not take that much time to tile it in PixPlant, having a great photo at start is certainly better. I'll see what I can do. Will be trying a lot of different textures aswell as different positions with my camera for the best possible texture.
