Nanobud's Sanctuary: Little Mac Attacks

[Velen]

alright, cool. just send me the files when youre ready

That might be a bit. Mother currently has command of the TV downstairs, and that's where the Wii is...

I'm also gonna experiment with the specular and reference textures.

Yo nano, no idea whats new and all, but I kinda lost the Pichu files... Completely. Hopefully you don't need them anytime soon :af: but seriously I can easily get them right back to where they were but I cant work on them for a few weeks

Well. Found an awesome online Tutorial to make a better Metal Ref texture...Problem is that Photoshop's started wigging out on me.

Does your program for bin to jpeg have a master hand Icon?
And I can't wait, I have a very good texture, but looks sorta bad with the normal metal.

Great job Velen, has a great high quality texture, while still keeping Metals original look.

So. Out of all the three I've shown you. (The ones that are not Italian's) Which one's Ref Texture looks best?

[KnightMario]

These are great! Can you gives us the tutorial URL?

I can give it to you myself right here instead. =)

1. Open a new document (preferably a Ref texture for a character instead, but this is for tutortial purposes)
2. Fill it with black via the Pain Bucket.
3. Go to Filter > Render > Lens Flare. Set it to 105mm Prime and a brightness of 110% (More or less is fine too.)
4. Then go to Filter > Distort > Polar Coordinates. Set it to Polar to Rectangular.
5. Go to Edit > Transform > Flip Vertical.
6. Then go to Polar Coordinates again. Set it to Rectangular to Polar.
7. You're done. Now edit it however you like to get different results.

This would have probably been a great tutorial! If only I could find my photoshop disk.
can you show us the textures you used?

My favorite had to be the one all the way to the left in the first picture or either of the two in the 4th picture

[nanobuds]

Just to be sure, who do these two belong to again?

Okay. Just need to find out which one is the one on the left in the 4th pic...

Both of those are my texture with two different Ref textures.

I'll be sending the one on the left to Nano with the textures. I'll also include some alternate Spe textures if anyone wants to experiment with them.
