"Don't shoot any textures in the sunlight". I seem to have an advantage... I live in the UK, where sun is only visible every leap year ;)

In Gimp, the offset tool is in Layer > Transform (a much more logical placement IMHO)

I feel like your voice just epically deepened when you came to the computer xD

Plot twist: he was actually filming in green screen and the entire forest are CGI

Thank you for taking the time to make these videos. I'm just starting out with Blender and Gimp, and am learning a LOT from your tutorials. Subscribed.

When photographing leaf and grass textures I usually place them on a piece of black coloured paper. For me it makes it better to select the black areas and convert them to alpha textures. Good tutorial!! I enjoyed your weird enthusiasm.

I think this was a really good vid. I appreciate all the work that must have gone into filming the woods section and then the blender tutorial in it of itself. The outdoor filming had a looser feel which made the video entertaining as well as informative. Thank you for this.

I'm super confused as to how you're recording yourself taking a picture of the leaf at 6:27 when both your hands are occupied? Your right hand is holding the camera and your left hand is holding the leaf. CG Geek third arm confirmed?

Very entertaining. I like that you say "if you don't know what it is, look it up". LoL. Not here to teach basic photography. Love it

CG Geek Nice tutorial. I did manual conversions to tiling textures like this a few times, but then I discovered the seamless filter in GIMP. I don't know if there is a PS equivalent (I only use open source software), but I have found the Filters->Map->Make Seamless feature in GIMP to work quite well and it is completely automated so it only takes a few seconds.

We need more upbeat tutorials like this, too many monotone boring ones out there lol good info but makes me want to change the video or fall asleep, I need more of this in my life lol thanks

Finally tiling and transparency settings within Blender explained. This tut was very helpful! Thanks!

Never disappointed with CG Geek tutorials. Thanks.

I like that you took the effort to make a really practical video like this one!

6:28 I imagine a guy with a head in a shape of a camera is making this picture :3

your voice sounds totally different when you hop on Photoshop XD

I think this is my favorite cg video i have come across so far :)

One thing i've found to make capturing small objects in the wild is to take a small piece of chroma key blue. Even a blue poster board helps. It makes editing everything out much much easier. Very nicely done video.

Great video in every way! Well presented, clear and concise, and delivers on the title. Thanks man.

This video is not just informative, but -very- entertaining too (talking about the part in the woods here). You got some entertainer qualities there! :D

This was super helpful, and just what I was looking for! Funny too ;-) Excellent work

Brief + Technical + Funny. All the elements of a superb training campaign. And next time you go out venturing on your own in the woods, take the AR-15 with you.

Hello,thank you for your tutorials I have a question.Would you make tutorial about realistic head modeling with realistic textures(projection paintings)?

Ur hilarious! Love the vid and ur style of silliness! Good watch. One thing, with ur camera settings, iso really wants to be a lot lower. Get urself a stable tripod (like the one ur video camera is on i guess) ;) and decrease shutter speed to let more light in. Also, hope ur shooting in at least 10bit raw :D

I'm not a professional, but regarding the seam removal. You're using soft brush crop tool, which means you either don't entirely remove the seam or create new seam with the brush at the edges. Therefore you need to do another offset and remove what's left. Of course if first offset was 1/2 of the size, another one needs to have different values.

These are really good, informative videos you have here. Thank you very much. Keep up the good work!

+CG Geek Thanks for the tutorial ! I tried to make textures before but I didn't know of the offset. Big foot confirmed!

"I'm not complaining, but I'm complaining" - got a laugh out of me. Great video, thanks and keep up the humour. :)

Thanks Alot It really helped me out awesome tutorials always. Keep up the good work!

This video was on my to-do list to find. All is well. ^^ Thanks, CG_G!

Nice Tutorial ! Thank you for ticks to play with Textures

So when getting textures for Unity or Unreal Engine going out there to take pictures with a camera is the way to go? That awesome. Now I have a much easier way of understanding on how Game designers do their jobs. Game Designing looks more fun to me now.

Thanks for sharing man. Really useful stuff!

Nice tut! Thanks for all these infos. Will definately take picture in a different way next time!

I love the vibe in this guy :D

Thank you for this tutorial, it will be very useful :)

Thank you so much! Cool tutorials!

the way this guy acts is pretty interesting and carefree. most of the time my mind will roam elsewhere but this is engaging

Very nice tutorial and most important that was fun :-). And some ps instructions ... I really apreciate this and maybe on the future you will do more ps tuts...

Great tutorial i was looking for

Das Video ist super! Werde das sofort ausprobieren (den Video-Teil nach dem Photoshop:) ). Vielen Dank!

I learned more about creating textures in the last 20 minutes than I did in the previous 20 years.

Thanks for this, great tutorial.

It really helps with the cloning step if you lower the opacity of the brush a bit.

That shirt totally delivered. Absolutely entertaining and informative video. Thumbs Up!

This is realy easy. I thought textures are hard to make, but it's actualy not. Thanks man, great video.

The rock texture looks like japan when tiled lol. Anyways this is a very informative tutorial! Thanks

Good tut! I like it!

Haha informative and funny. Full of personality. Good video fella!

I just love nature, nothing like making your own thing

Man! You're incredible. ❤🎮💡🏝🎹

Man, that forest is really beautiful :D

Thanks for the info on shooting the textures. I am confused why it was necessary to divide the rock texture into quadrants & use the clone stamp though. Why couldn't you just make the area square as you did and adjust the brightness/contrast without the clone stamp? Thanks.

That is a cool rock.

Before 6 years : Cg Geek PERFECT! After 6 years : CG GOD!

Great video - Yes, this is just another piece of fan mail; sorry :-/ - and EXACTLY the info I was looking for. Detailed and accurate, with the bonus of being friendly and funny. But then, you know all this, ha. Super helpful. Many thanks!

i am not complaining but i am complaining ~ CG Geek lmao XD

i love you're video and you are funny a very informative, simple but damn effective! kudos! subs!

Nice video man!!! Thanks

Once you tile it in photoshop, you can quickly test how well it tiles by turning it into a pattern and doing a fill on a new image with that pattern

Thank you very much!

The select subject feature of photoshop cc really helps...

Hello, thanks for the tutorial, been trying to find something like this; however, whether you can or not, would it be possible for you to make a video relating to the process of unwrapping a texture / image? Like a coke can, or the brazuca football? If you could, that would be great!

Finally! Ty!

the young CG GEEK

I take these pictures with a phone (vivoy69) it's camera is good. While shooting things like leaf and small plants i use a black background so that i can add transparency by contrast difference....(or something). This tutorial is very good because in most CG tuts are lazy kind of.......

Your videos are the best..do you have any explaining bump mps and stuff?

Awesome!~ Thank you!~

Thank you I will use this in blender for ps1 style graphics!

Very useful, thak you for this tutorial

Dear sir, I will have to thank you kindly for giving me an advantage over my peers at college as I will be working on a 3D environment project very soon and this video will help me to understand more interesting tools to use in Photoshop. I do alot of textures myself from scratch but painted, not images edited, I even painted a brick wall that came out very nicely which I would show if I could. Lucky I got a camera of my own so when I get the chance, I will go and take some snaps myself.

I love this host :~)) such a lovely personality

Thanks a lot!

Texture, texture, texture textur, texture x999 Great tutorial btw. Very entertaining

I like this guy.

Thanks Steve!

AWESOME

what kind of specs are important to consider when looking for a camera and lenses for texture hunting?

hey steve please please please make a specific tutorial video for PBR means how to use it and what is ment for what just explain that to us in one video for total beginer and every thing about pbr by the way love your content (love from India)

Always great content. Thanks to all, who take their time to upload, and share their trade secrets. It is much appreciated.

Nice!

Very informative vid thank you

It's crazy that your average person knows so little about modeling when it's such a massive wealth of information. It touches from photography, to cinematography. But starts with art and design. And those are just the base skills you need to have. Before anything you need to have an imagination and a thirst for knowledge. But once you've mastered the virtual space, anything you do in life will help with it. If you're a roofer, your modeled roofs will be on fleet. If you're a doctor, you anatomical knowledge would be second to none. It's really a craft worthy of the utmost respect. But no one pays any attention to it, instead they worship someone who can throw a ball accurately over fifty yards. I prefer knowledgeable ability to athletic ability any day. If there was speed modeling contest where judges watched two or more artists compete to make the best piece I'd watch it. Like they'd receive a random category like dark dungeon, or grassy meadow, then they just have to go at it as fast as they can. 10-60 minute matches depending on the works. Something needs to divert attention to the industry, 'cause it's so much more than an industry. But that's what they consider us. It's an art form. We''re more than just lanky nerds sitting at computers. The vision needed for it is worth competing for and further developing. We need more pathways for aspiring artists to become noticed through competition with their peers.

I went out and shot some textures with my phone but they did not turn out all that grate because it was getting dark is there any way to shoot textures in a controlled environment for example in a work office/room. If there is willl you please make a tutorial on how to do it.

This is what I need

Great Tut. Learned a lot from it. Instead of doing my own materials I´ll buy your package at Blender Market :) Good stuff.

Another thing that helps with the depth of field problem is to used a camera with a smaller sensor. Full frame cameras produce a shallower depth of field than anything with a cropped frame sensor. That's why cellphones and GoPros have everything in focus.

Is he drunk? )

@CG Geek what camera model did you use for your textures ?

You are funny and AWESOME! Subscribed and liked! :D

i like your videos is educational and me to i like the 3d graphiks a lot thanks for the leson pro i hope make more tutorial hapy new year i wish you and i hope this lock dow is over see you

"I'm not gonna show you how to do the bump map, normal map, and all the other things..." ARG. That's what I wanted to know!

Steve, To create a Tilable Texture I have always made the canvas 2x in both directions, Then mirrored the lower left corner (The original Image) both vertically and Then horizontally and Then mirrored the right lower quadrant vertically To create 4 quadrants of The same Image. This way The seams are seamless. (no? have You tried to do it This way?) great Tutorial. Thx.

Are textures better with less details like moss and pretty linear like plain dirt?

What camera did you use?

Your shooting your textures with a SLR camera but can I use a bridge camera without the focul length ?

Drink everytime he says "texture" lol

I dont really have a photoshop software. Recommend any free ones for a windows computer? I heard Pixlr is a good one

how would you create pbr texture maps from these textures you photographed?

I was wondering, how can I personalise a tree leaves and trunk? Thanks a lot for this video!!
