Gaming Textures:

I have Photoshop 6.0, I know a tincy bit about the program, but i want to learn how to use it, yet i always end up using psp 7(bad habit).
I'm wanting to create good clean vehicle textures for a game...
i also want to create good graphics.
Wondering if you guys could help me out....
I ask Jmulder(rippance) alot, but he's often busy with his own projects.

I always start with Dummies books. In this case Photoshop 6.0 for Dummies (no harm intended).

If you're wanting to do game textures specifically, I would recommend checking out some game development sites.

Like www.gamedev.net.

If you are wanting ot learn just general photoshop as well, I would read a lot of tutorials on the internet. Also the manual is a good place to start. And maybe buy a good book to read.

At the moment, i'm more interested in gaming textures, but i'm wanting to learn general photoshop also.
Thanks for the recomendations....

I would get a book on Photoshop and take a couple of weeks to get to know the program. Then go and do your textures. It will make everything allot easier in the end, believe me.

I've done a number of textures for Quake 3 maps and Theres more to it than just make them tile. So go spend $35 for a book and really know what you are doing.

I've posted this link before in the forum. THis is an nice article about game texturing from Gamasura.
