Making Textures: Working with Blending Modes and Layers

[@dumptruckds]

I definitely needed this tut!!! I always wanted to do one but never took the time to really dive into Aseprite. You have a real knack for streamlining the processes involved. Bravo. Suggestion for the next video: exporting to correct palette. Wonder where the "fapping-and-slander" channel is?

This is great, looking forward to more texturing videos!

[@strangecorgi2903]

This is awesome because I could apply it to Quake or a Unity project! The possibilities are endless! I WANT AESPRITE!

[@garvador]

I would love to have more tutorials with textures like this. Great job

[@eleevo]

what a perfect video, exactly what i was looking for

[@Immorpher]

Nice work! I use blending modes as well when I shrink large textures. Basically choosing what I want from "nearest neighbor" and "bicubic". Whether I want the highlights or the darks having the softer bicubic look or not.

[@krzykyle]

Wow really well done! I had no idea where to begin with making textures and your tutorial does such an amazing job of stepping you through it.

[@NON_Navi]

you can also use Material Maker(MIT license) to make textures, there is a Palettize node to make the texture use the palette provided, in this case Quake's Palette.

[@dmitri8117]

Man this is such an awesome video. I'd love to see more videos about making other textures in Aseprite, wood patterns, liquids, etc.

[@morganlak4337]

I hate to shill Photoshop, but a good feature that ties into this is Layer Styles. outer glow, bevel, stroke etc are so helpful for making textures

Now, if only Makkon would make a texture tutorial for KZbin.

[@wedge_one]

Pretty interesting and nice timing. I just got Aseprite to try it out. I'm also curious about making these kinds of old-school-retro-shooter textures on Substance Designer due to its procedural nature.

[@Monster1100sForum]

Thanks for your great teaching...

[@ShadesMan]

Interesting, very informative!

[@bondo532]

this is a masterpiece

[@emirhansahin4922]

This video is awesome you help me a lot.

[@juanmilanese]

Amazing. More of these please!

[@dnajlwosqkdasjczdbkahdwcs]

Thank you so much for the download link. All the palette presets in Aseprite (other than perhaps the default one) are ASS.

[@DJwhatever1234]

great job!

8:09 What hotkey did you use to perform the same operation on the highlight layer? Seems like a huge time saver!

[@stickflip4308]

good shit, seems ez enough

[@GeoffintheGarage]

Great tutorial. I followed along and made a floor texture I want to add to my map, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to successfully get it from Aseprite into Trenchbroom. I've tried variations of tga/png/bmp/jpg to .wad using TexMex and the quaketools scripts, but no luck. Any thoughts or recommended tutorials on how to do this?

[@Slipseer]

I use Wally to make texture wads by importing BMPs. Texmex doesn't work properly on my system for that. You can check it out here kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHvdmZScgdykoM0

[@GeoffintheGarage]

@@Slipseer Thanks for the recommendation! Lots of good resources in here!

[@johnchester9380]

@@Slipseer Great tutorial. When I go and save it as a BMP or PNG the image keeps saving as a 32-bit image instead of 8-bit. I'm using the Quake 1 palette (256 colors) and made sure to stay within that palette (using 19 colors). How do I get it to lock to 8-bit in Aseprite? .wad's will not take 32-bit. Thanks!

[@Slipseer]

@@johnchester9380 Wally should automatically index any images that aren't, but in any case, you can set your Color Mode to Indexed under the Sprite dropdown at the top bar to do this.

[@johnchester9380]

@@Slipseer So following your tutorial (starting with RGB), finishing the texture, then switching to Index really messes up the image when I save it. Looks as if it removed all blurring and overlay technique. When I attempt to open the 32-bit image in Wally I get a 'Compression Not Supported. Supported compression is BI_RGB'. Hmmm. What steps do you take to save? Did you change yours to Index after this tutorial? Thanks for your help!

[@browndog171063]

Any more tutes using Aesprite coming up ?

[@techpriest4787]

Why not use Substance Painter? PBR's color/albedo channel seems to be useful without the other channels and in non PBR renderers? Oddly those that I saw had depth information more than usual and did not need normal maps. Either way though one can bake so combine PBR channels. Seems way more productive to use exciting material libraries too.

[@Slipseer]

Several reasons. -Substance is an expensive piece of software that not everyone has access to. -I haven't quite seen any SD textures that replicate the feel of id1 textures -I believe making bespoke textures is a better practice than making a simple flat and stamping X number of brick shapes into it. You end up with much nicer looking maps. This defeats the purpose of procedural textures. This is a pretty old tutorial and I've improved a lot since this, I may make a more advanced tutorial in the future.
