Title: Finding really good textures for modelling
Post by: TMan10K on 16 Jul 2003, 14:47:02

Can anyone please tell me how to get really good quality textures into OFP?
Whenever I test an addon, the textures don't look that good.

Is there a site where I can get decent pictures from, or any techniques in Photoshop that improve image quality. File size does not matter, I am after good quality pics.

If anyone could help, I would appreciate it, thanks.

Nothing at the moment, but I was just wondering if anyone could give me the links to some good sites with high quality pictures and/or if someone could give me some tips in photoshop to improve the quality e.t.c

Google is probably your best bet. Plus it's also dependant on what you want to do.

If you're looking for textures/photos of a Higgins Boat, you should probably not look at www.beautifulflowers.com or something.
So until you decide what you're gonna do...

Right, I have just made myself the model of an M47 Dragon in Oxygen. It is quite good, but quite simple. The model is pretty much based on:

but now I need to texture this, and texturing can make or break an addon. I would like this to appear good, but I'm not sure how to go about it, can anyone please help me?

After I have made this, I will put in the proper Memory LODs, so it can swivel e.t.c like a static M2 MG.
