  • Before making your own textures, you should check out
    • CG Textures
    • 10ravens
      • Make sure the texture you use has a license you like, and are able to use properly.
  • Otherwise, download a program called The Gimp
    • It isn't possible to tell you how to make any texture you want in one tutorial.
    • Instead, google how to make the texture you want in gimp, there almost certainly is a tutorial out there somewhere. You may want to try the Gimp Talk forums to begin with.
      • With some textures, there are things you should do to them to make them more realistic, such as adding dirt. Keep that in mind. [1]
  • Then you will probably want to make it seamless.
    • In Gimp go to

Filters → Map → Make Seamless

  • An alternate way to make textures seamless can be found here: [2], a different version of the same tutorial can be found here: [3]
  • Now you should save it and you are done!
  • If you want, you can continue and make shader maps for your texture.
