<div class="IPBDescription">Kinda groovy/crappy, i think</div>yah. I have absolutely NO clue how this texture art thing works, so I tried anyway. Made in paint shop pro FROM SCRATCH with absolutely no plugins whatsoever used  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

I think I need some plugins. First, anyone know where I can get some?

And, here is the door... I had to make it jpeg to make it small enough to include it as an attachment (71kb limit  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo--> )

[EDIT]I just noticed it's in the off-topic forum by accident. Move this to artwork forum[/EDIT]

    A good start!  Have you seen the "tutorial" recently posted about metal textures?  It's good advice to follow.  In the low lighting of your sample, it looks ok, but I think on closer inspection/in brighter light it may look a little fake.  Try to get some distress marks into the texture.  Nice!

    Sheesh, rob moves it as I did a reply/move.

    Anyways, looks good for a first try and all. Needs a little variation, less "perfection". Oh, and you generally do not put lighting effects on the texture, that sort of limits its usage with the lights in a room <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

    I think it looks slightly cartoonish, though it does look some better in the map screenie.

    For some really cartoonish textures try the Buzzybots mod. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
