Re: Making / Finding Realistic Textures
I make my own textures. When taking a picture for a texture, make sure you are perpendicualar to the object if it has a lot of lines on it (bricks, tile etc.). Also make sure the lighting is consistent because if you have to tile it, it will look wierd. Try avoiding distinctive features in the texture like knots in wood for the same reason. I have not done too many textures with photoshop or anything like that.
