Realword Textures

[Oberscht]

Since I'm making Models I know that texturizing is very difficult. A very nice looking model is nothing without good textures. Afaik you must be a professional 2D-Artist to make textures with the quality of the original ones. Today I dled the Realswords, saw the textures and just thought "whoa!". So my question is: Where you got these textures from? You made them yourself?

Yes he did.

yes I make the textures myself, they are a mix of base textures and hand painting.

as you said, yes I am a 2d artist since long before I first touched a 3D software some 5 or 6 years ago.. I've been a graphic designer and illustrator for over a decade now..and before that I was always either drawing something or painting. it has always been my passion. then I discovered 3D and all you can do, and I was instantly hooked.
