Quake3World

I have recently figured out how to make a realistic painted surface on non painted surfaces such as wood, metal and concrete. Here is a preview of what we are going to do:

Feedback is welcome,

Good stuff... I have a different technique, but I'll try this out sometime next week as I'm currently working on a lot of painted metals, bricks, etc. so this will come in handy.

I suggest you also post this at pixelmorgue.com if you haven't done so already. I'm sure they would appreciate the tutorial.

What technique do you use?

-Method

Not exactly an A, B, C method like your's, more like some painting with a stylus, then with different layered blend modes. The process varies depending on the surface and effect I want to do.

Very excellent tutorial. Makes it seem like that was the way it was meant to be done.

Yea, nice one. The result is pretty neat, I did a quick try just to see some fast results and I think I'm gonna use this meth on some wooden ceilings in my history level.

Untouched and the exact same with your paint job.

Last year, I did some weapon plats, still using the same one, I aimed for "painted" wood too, didn't really put my heart into it so the raw texture looks pretty "clean", I might redo those plats, but I'm not sure, the look good in q3 already when scaled down once.

My weapon plat.

I'm glad you liked it Hipshot, now teach me your sky making technique and skills please
