What do you recommend to make textures?
I'd absolutely suggest you take a look at these two softwares:
- ArtRage 2 - Simple, superb, sexy. It's a painting program with a snazzy user interface and minimal controls. Nope, it doesn't even have Copy OR Paste, but the brush tones are lush. Has a FREE version, but the paid upgrade is only US$19.95... and did I mention the glitter tool adds so much amazing depth? I can almost feel the grains get layered down when working with it.
- PhotoSEAM - Helps you make textures seamless like a superstar! Often, after sketching raw 768x768 chunks in ArtRage 2, I'll bring 'em into PhotoSEAM to master as 512x512s, with some buffer 'round the edges so I can cross borders smoothly. Caveats: it hasn't been updated in 6+ years and it's prone to crashing, but it's the best I've found thus far!
... they're the mortar-and-pestle of my texture-making existence.
