hello everyone,

I'm anxious to get some crits on my textures aswell as that static mesh i just posted. Let me know what you think of these too.

Hey there, welcome to Sijun! The textures look OK. You can do some things to make them more convincing though. First, if you're layering things in Photoshop, like windows into walls, etc, be very sure of your shadows-hard shadows tend to work best under ledges, etc. Also be really careful about the color and values you have in the different images you've composited. Like in that one texture collection that was a conglomeration of design and architecture of antiquity-it looked dreadful because it was hodge podge.

You'll also want to increase your color variation within the textures. To make something convinving, you need more colors than you'd think you need.

Personally if I want a texture of something, I model it, paint the surface maps, and render it in Lightwave, then take that into Photoshop and add details and other stuff. If you're going straight to 3d, just paint the textures. Good work, keep it up!

Anthony said it all, but i just wanted to add that from my experience, desaturating your textures slightly creates a more convincing in-game appearance.
