NEW MAPPER

[1138 Server MultiplayerX]

Hey guys! My daughter started playing TF2 so I am now forced to start mapping for it as well as gesource :*) xD Hope everyone is well and please drop me a line or suggestions! BTW.... Is there a standard on textures or can I use real life resolution OR make them cartoonish in photoshop?

Peace and happy mapping!

Texture resolution is usually 1024x1024. Very old Q&As from Valve revealed that they liked to make their textures in photoshop. Typical texture creation advice given on this site is to find a photoshop brush that looks like a real life paintbrush and paint it in large strokes over a solid colour (usually using a slightly darker/lighter variation of the solid colour), then add whatever sharp lines the texture needs.
