Since no one looks at the bottom of my thread BEST PLACES FOR TUTORIALS by boypizza96, I will put one thread here and the rest of my progress will be in that thread I mentioned.
I will also do a tutorial on how to make the texture in gimp. when I make the magazine!
The textures I used did not come from the internet, I took my digital camera and took some pictures of all the textures from within my house and I used a few of the tools that come with gimp. I found the best textures where right under my nose in my own house. plus this is a good practice because if you are not aware that most of the pictures you find on line are copyright and that is a no, no.
Textures consist of the following:
THE BARREL - IS A PICTURE OF MY GAS GRILL
THE BODY - IS A PICTURE OF MY BASEMENT FLOOR
THE HANDGRIP - IS A PICTURE FROM THE FILTER FOR MY FURNACE.
And this is the result, please comment what you think this is with the color, normal and spec map which I already did a tutorial on that, this is just one piece of the weapon but I do pieces one at a time and normally I make between 4 and 5 maps for the same weapon reason being, if I make the pieces small its harder to make the necessary details to the map, so my pieces for the gun are large enough so I can work on them. AND WHEN I DO THE TUTORIAL IN A DAY OR TWO I WILL EXAGGERATE SOME OF THE DETAILS JUST SO YOU CAN SEE ALL THE NEAT THINGS YOU CAN DO WITH GIMP!
