Its kind of funny how you go and be a nazi about that tutorial, yet the tutorial on how to add a plastic wrap modifier is ok? I find your judement on what is a "technique" very odd.

No, its the fact that he used a rust texture to create a rust texture (or at least he tried). Thats not a technique. The finished product didn't even look like rust, but thats not the important part. If it was how to apply a texture then it would have made some sence. But he didn't even do that. And the thing about the filters is an actual tip. People don't use thee filters properly most of the time they use it to try to do the literal. He was showing how to use it to improve a texture. Thats all. That texture is only a small part of a larger piece of artwork. The other one that dosen't quite look like leather is still there, and thats because it actually shows something. Even if its syalized.
We want this to be proffesional. Not a bunch of misslabled stuff. If its cool for fire textures. Label it Fire texture.

Over all it made no sense. It was like saying use someone elses ninja skin draw a little on top of it blend it together and say its there ninja skin. He did nothing but alter the origional rust texture.

This disscusion is CLOSED. I will be deleting thest last few post 2maro.

first of all, learn to use periods. Second, I wasn't dissing the plastic wrap tutorial, I was just saying that if the tutorials had to be based on technique, which is what egg seems to base them on, then the rust tutorial has more technique than a filter application, no matter the outcome.

This one I aint so sure about but its okay, JUST ONE THING!!! dont use this for 256x256 skins it doesnt work so only for 512 or higher it will be fine...
I made the tut but the texture didnt turn out right so I made another one of bigger size and its good... you can use the Camo Texture I attached but give some credit to me ;)

NOTE: later ill post a better tut for camo as I know some tricks to make it look better ;)

Alright, I've made a wood texture tutorial which shows how to make a somewhat realistic wood texture, I used this to make a wall of a mansion for [Death]



Oh yeah, and there is a typo in the forum title, you might want to check that.

I meant that nobody visits the tutorials section but that isnt an excuse to have this thread here.
Dont flame and delete my legitimate claims. These are tutorials,otherwise put "techniques" and they go in the tutorials section.

I am aware of my resposiblities. We delete threads here (which everyones aware of) so that this thread stays all tuts. We leave the comment or request or whatever there for a while and then its deleted.

None of the comments legitmate because none of it is constructive. What is being provided to the community by your "comments" jester, I would like to know. This is not flamming but a statement of fact. I will not continue this conversation anymore because then i would be promoting flaming. So it ends here.

as quoted by whitehorn "If you have nothing good to add, then just move along."
