Moved it for ya... this belongs in the Resources and Support section. Originally posted by HesterInimical I know in photoshop how to make a texture and entering it in. but once its all entered, how do you put it on? That's one of the worst possible ways of doing a texture with pixel art... in fact, that way it's not even pixel art. Not sure how to answer your question. What kind of texture do you want? I don't think there are a whole lot of tutorials on textures (I might be terribly wrong though), but you can learn a lot by observing other people's works. ------------- |

Well then, you should learn how to pixel a brick texture, or a roof texture, if you want to put it into a piece. Reference pictures will help, as will viewing other pixel artist's techniques. -------------  http://larw-ck.deviantart.com">

ummm, photoshop textures/any photoshop tool is not pixelart.
However if you create a pixelart texture suchas bricks, you are able to fill an area with it, and will save you time. It may not be a purist technique but if you make the texture youself it is still pixelart and will save you time. If people do not know what im saying, you can make a tile such as grass and save it nto photoshop. You are then able to fill an area with it, without any effects or added aa. This trick has saved me time before. I suggest you click the fill button, then instead of foreground color, click pattern and you should be able to fill it with your brick tile. ------------- Snark, we love yuu. |

repeating tiles can create a texture. I know in Paint Shop Pro you have the ability of taking an image you've already made and using it as a texture, which I think is okay if you hand pixeled that image. For example, say I made one small tile of bricks and I had a bigger piece and highlighted the area I wanted the bricks to be in and I clicked texture and chose the image that I had made of the brick tile and selected that and filled in the area I wanted. I personally don't see anything wrong with that persay. But using premade textures isn't pixel art because most of them are computer generated and antialiased using algorythums and not hand shading techniques. Plus, they aren't YOURS, so it's basically uncreative and NOT pixel art. Usually if I'm doing tiles for a mockup game setup thing I place the tiles in there one by one instead of using the highlight and texture function just because it's cool to piece my tiles together. ------------- |
