In this beefy tutorial, we're hittin' the streets to capture a bunch of massive concrete textures, not like those whimpy ones around the net. I'm talking about huge dam walls, endless drainage ditches, and epic bridges.
Once we've captured our images, we'll stitch them together in Photoshop, process normal maps, specular maps and roughness maps, then organize everything in Quizel Bridge. Let's go!

Its fantastic that this video was interesting enough that even I, a person who does not create 3D art, watched the entire thing. Great work, keep it up!

Non 3D artists are the ideal audience for his content IMO.

[@scoobertmcruppert2915]

[@Later_Nerd]

Right there with ya. It's awesome to nerd out over this stuff. Tech is so impressive. Of course so is Clint btw.

[@marcopoloonpollo5937]

I've enjoyed his appearances on past Corridor Crew videos, and I was really hopeful for him when he dedicated himself to his new channel. Up to this point, his content has been interesting but so long and uncut, but this video right here was everything I dreamed he would start making. Very knowledgeable, great video editing quality, and incredibly interesting to follow. This right here has made me a closer follower on this channel, without a doubt.

[@FireJach]

Same here I like watching him and Corridor Crew. Btw. I am considering to learn Blender (it is free) to create better images in Photoshop

[@TanmayBarri]

THE nicest guy...! I'm so glad he's back...

[@damnsmooth23]

The fact that you hunted down real concrete, photographed it, virtually recreated it, recorded and uploaded the entire process in one wholesome video. Truly a master of your craft, sir. Like damn dude, I was outside looking at my driveway and realized how trash the resolution was

[@pwnisher]

Bwaaaahahah!! Yo thank you for the very kind words! It was a super fun process!

[@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890]

yes! this is exactly what i needed… cuz i can’t afford to buy textures

This is perfect timing. I'm looking to create a ton of textures and have been googling tutorials. Thank you clinterino.

[@MrKlayVFX]

Damn, Winbush giving all the great tips! Also, great pack of concrete. Def going to pick it up!

[@JonathanWinbush]

Hell yea thanks for the shout brother 🤙🏾

[@brnktv]

I've been a Photoshop Master (in this sense, I know every hotkey, know every function, every trick, etc) AND a 3d Environment artist for years and years, and I always hated not being able to get that *perfect* texture. I would find other textures, combine, edit, etc, but I had no idea I could use my DSLR to capture, stitch, and create my own textures in this way. I see textures in real life that would be perfect all the time, and wished there was some way to capture them. This is a fantastic video, and teaches something that's uncommon, but so painfully useful (Yeah yeah, I know.. just use Quixel, but originality is still a thing). Kudos on the video, and thank you for sharing your time with us.

[@manavgala2361]

After watching this I will never criticize anyone for how they price their textures. It’s a lot of time & work and creating all textures myself would be a nightmare.

[@pwnisher]

Yooooo this is huge! Yeah so much goes into this stuff.

[@use2regis]

Back in 2014 while I still work with Codemasters on the Dirt, F1, and Grid franchise, we use this technique on texturing when making the race track. However back then Photoshop doesn't have a build-in normal generator we used either xnormal or Nvidia photoshop plugin to generate normal. Ghosh, I miss this technique but it is getting obsolete in the game industry due to 'Procedural Texturing' and 'Megascan'.

[@pwnisher]

So cool to hear this is a half-decent workflow lol!

[@Max-zr7hr]

Great games

[@olzhas1one755]

Honestly procedural texturing still falls behind photo-made assets. They don't look as authentic because they don't have the slight imperfections IRL objects have Edit: I think it's even better for performance, since all the detail is baked into the image, so the hardware spends less time rendering the texture image

[@adamstraus2276]

This rules! One tip for ya - using the dedicated content-aware fill tool (edit > content-aware fill) instead of the content-aware option in the regular fill tool will give you sooooo much more control and make your life a lot easier :)

[@yowwn8614]

Very interesting. Watched this not knowing this was a 25 minute video.

[@WW_Studios]

LOL

[@squishrabbit]

I wanted to see a showcase at the end showing the concrete texture in use

[@CONVICT700]

Great stuff clint. Love all the subtle text and graphics you have going on here. The whole vid flows very smooth and your attitude is always so warm

[@thevisualmode]

Dude. So great. Never had I seen one video with the most efficient tips for every single step

[@karlhendry1553]

This is great, thanks Clint! I'm making a departure from photography and getting in to 3D. With my donut down I've given myself a target of 12 months to learn enough to enter one of your competitions

[@iansteele8644]

Amazingly in-depth and comprehensible. Only having just started learning Blender, most of this stuff is slightly beyond me, but not for long. All of this was understandable, even without knowing all the specific tools or terms. You use very clear language thats perfect for all skill levels. Also bonus points to the editor. The ambient music when the live footage section ended was so complimentary that I didnt even realize it was there til a YT ad interrupted it.

[@JohnLucasPolak]

Man, I might start to simp for YT algorithm for recommending me this kind of quality content.

I don't even have photoshop, or have a reason to make textures. What I can say though is that this was one of the best tutorials I have ever seen on youtube.

Makes it much more realistic and easier to appreciate how much it takes to make these. sometimes it feels weird to slide through hundreds of textures like they were nothin and I get lost in that quite often.. but Im already so stoked to work with these just because I saw how they where made.. ok I stop rambling but ya thank u man // keep up the good work! And maybe think about doin more of these videos.. really lovin it

in light room, you can have a preset with just lens distortion correction and you can apply it to all images you import if you want, its so much quicker than adding it to 1 image and copying and pasting to other images, as sometimes it actually does not work

[@sangam9122]

More videos like this. This is best 😍

[@ConradSly]

great video love the textures! A note on normals, specular and roughness - You can clone your maps and do "histogram selections" with masks, to select more precisely different features of your texture, to have more control in terms of the way you want to blend to have the correct grayscale values. For instance, the black smears, you can create a very narrow curve adjustment near black, and apply whatever blending operation you want to it, either add or subtraction in most cases, to get the proper value. It's also very useful to paint discrete masks, because sometimes the black values include things like cracks and recesses which you want to be very rough, but if there's a glossy black smear on the texture it becomes necessary isolate those to give them a more discrete roughness or specular value. Of course all of that is entirely optional, but if you're trying to create the most authentic "PBR" material it's important to get the right values.

[@dreydoesart]
