nem... for ruts i just make a new layer with a 1px brush, color black and draw some ruts.. then when your done change the opacity down till they look natural.. nd then go to your dirt path and use a brush the size of ur path nd use the burn tool and go around your whole track once. hope it helps

I use the burn and dodge tool for ruts. 1 pixel sized brush on a low opacity.

i learnt from kazam how to do ruts this way.

get your rendered texture and add a new layer,
fill it with pure white and set layer to "multiply"
then get the burn tool set at 1 pixel and set the range to "highlights" and presure of 50%
then draw your ruts.

i do all mine straight onto the 960 x 960  so it doesnt  smudge on resizing down.

That's a good way to do ruts as well. They turn out nice.

[Kazam]

yup and i learned it from The_Loz     i think it works better when ya set pressure to 32%

[DBR_Dodgy]

ive tried pressures from low to high and found no real need to worry about it because you can simply adjust the layer opacity to your likeing.   i just found that easyer.

[VMX_Burn]

Ian.


ps.   less of the old age.... im only 34  lol   

Thats the real bummer, cos I am at my dads till thursday, then on friday im off to my gf for the weekend, that leaves hardly any time for disp and no time for textures. Think metz is doin em, are ya? lol And thats hardly fair with a day or so to go, and it takes me about a week to do objects anyway..

i have got new tex's now so i will post a new pic when i get them on

[TMD_ NemesisX2]

Thankyou two_four, dodgy/kazam and gravity.

I tested all your methods and i found gravity's was the best imo. Im sure with a little more experimenting they could all be just as good, but i basically did each one, compared, and decided. Thanks for the help.

[DBR_Dodgy]

wow!!  im imprest on how they are so alike, if there wasnt names on there it would be hard to say if they were from two different types.       nice looking either way.

[Dobe]

looks sick myth.. but texture doesnt look super... looks dark with not really visiable ruts... but thats just me...

it looks hella sick

[TMD_ NemesisX2]

Thanks for that two_four but without realizing i uploaded it at 1300x1300, duh!. So i resized it and re-uploaded it, but thanks anyway, you might aswell delete that, it's a bit messed.

[Säuce]

CE

[DBR_Dodgy]
