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!
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.
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
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.
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.
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 :)
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
Clint you're awesome dude, I've been watching a bunch of your videos. I've been learning a lot. My skills are definitely growing. Top notch content dood, keep it up :)
I never once used Cinema 4d or took photos of a concert wall. Don't know why I'm watching this but I don't want to stop. Thanks brother your super smart and soothing.
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. I LOVE that you show multiple ways to complete the same effect. You do a great job, and this tutorial was extremely well written / thought out.
first few seconds in and already bought the pack.. dude that's so awesome to see how the textures where made! 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
Clint man I've really been enjoying your content. I don't know much about 3d art yet (I've only made the donut so far) so some of this goes over my head but I still really enjoy watching these
Clint in the latest Photoshop you have an option to do a pattern preview, that way it's easier to work when doing seamless textures, you just go to View>Pattern Preview, excelent content dude!
great tutorial, don't hide from showing every step as thats what we are here for and I would like to have see you throw it into a 3d program to show them off
GREAT video! Content was awesome. It's a fantastic source to goto for basically all of the tips for setting up materials from photographs. I messed with this a few years ago, and now that I've my own camera I'm going to go shoot something in the coming weeks. The cool Jazz background music is f'ing Top Tier.
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.
Substance is an alternative to many of the steps in this process. Substance Sampler (formerly Substance Alchemist) uses AI to take a photo and break it out to the component maps with a single click. It's not quite as accurate as doing all the processing manually in Photoshop, but for a process that's automatic and only takes a few seconds it's pretty damn impressive. It does a ton of useful post processing as well. It will make everything seamless if you need, plus you can add dirt, dust, water, extra grunge, and a ton of other features. If I wanted to model my office for example I could grab my phone, tax a picture of my carpet, import it into Substance Sampler, click one button and have a full PBR in a matter of seconds.
I took some macro lens photos of melting snow. The crystalline structures are fascinating with an added bonus of sparkles. Your video gave me some good foundation for turning my shots into PBR's.
Yay! Glad you have a solo channel and glad Its efficient before entertaining. Something about the nature and hijinx of your boys at C are LEGENDARY but can be a bit unwatchable for experienced/engaged folk who stress in the field on a daily basis. Great tutorial 👍
Hey Clint, not that you need validation to live your best life, but I was super unsure about you going solo again....glad you did. It has been awesome.
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'.
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
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
Loved it, super insightful :) The content has been an amazing watch, even for someone who isn't a VFX artist to help me understand how to apply it to my films. Also huge shout outs on getting an article from No Film School on this video!
man your good at the hot keys, I love the photoshop grouping layers, the idea in general, and your expertise at explaining ! thanks dude. I love this channel, best 3d channel on youtube ATM
Protip: At 12:27 use View/Pattern Preview. It saves couple on clicks and you can see how it looks endlessly, additionally you can edit on spot and see immediately the result.
10:30 Alternative approach: copy your layer, run the copy through a "High Pass" photoshop filter with settings that look nice, then desaturate it and set the blending mode to "luminosity".
To many tools and techniques in this video that i had absolutely no idea about despite being very familiar with this process/software. Incredible work!!
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.
Photoshop has a tile preview feature now (finally) which helps a lot when working on textures. Just got to View > Pattern Preview. It's a life saver! Never have to use offset again to make tiling textures!
Nice tutorial. It helps a lot to get to know all the shortcuts right away. But I would recommend you to keep the resolution of textures to the power of 2. Computers can work more performant with them, which is important if you want to use the texture in a video game or for a weaker platform e.g. mobile, vr.
Finally an actual texture tutorial on youtube!! lol This i like!!! 👍👍👍👍 I know this is a bit late for request, but do you think you could show something for trees? be interesting to see how you would handle a cylindrical object and the leaves.
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.
@@rileyb3d Especially those that just don’t know they are 3D artists yet and get inspired to become one…
Right there with ya. It's awesome to nerd out over this stuff. Tech is so impressive.
Of course so is Clint btw.

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
THE nicest guy...! I'm so glad he's back...
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
Bwaaaahahah!! Yo thank you for the very kind words! It was a super fun process!
The slight hint of Corridor Crew type vlogging/tutorial is a real kicker
Hell yea thanks for the shout brother 🤙🏾
yes! this is exactly what i needed…
cuz i can’t afford to buy textures
What’s your email
I assume you know about it but if you don't use PolyHaven and ambientcg for free good textures
Lily surface scraper dude
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 why do you need to know?
@@apersunthathasaridiculousl1890 Probably wants to send you the files, but I'd still rather support Clint directly.
This is perfect timing. I'm looking to create a ton of textures and have been googling tutorials. Thank you clinterino.
So cool to see you by Pasadena’s most famous bridge! Crazy to see you so close to where I live.

Damn, Winbush giving all the great tips! Also, great pack of concrete. Def going to pick it up!
Man, I might start to simp for YT algorithm for recommending me this kind of quality content.

You give out shortcut keys like how Blender Guru give out shortcut keys... I Learned A Lot actually! Imma save this to my Editing Playlist
I have no idea why I watched this entire thing I have zero use for this knowledge but I guess it's a testament to how well made this video is. :)
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 :)
No time to watch your tutorial... I'm finishing my dynamic machine !! ^^
Atta boy!!! Go get it man, good luck on your final result!
Yeah no time to watch it im starting mine ! 😂
Done... I've made Fire. It's revival of a Game & Watch game... I hope it will be selected !! ^^
On youtube ASAP.
Hard Work + Dedication + Supercool attitude = Clint. You are awesome bro👌🙏💚
Dude. So great. Never had I seen one video with the most efficient tips for every single step
Thanks!

The best 3d artist!!
I don't need to learn any of this I just think it was super satisfying to watch it .
Really high quality tutorial and demonstration of a lot of techniques I haven't learnt in 6 years of game dev, thank you so much!
Very interesting. Watched this not knowing this was a 25 minute video.
LOL
Probably one of the most exciting, comprehensive and clear tutorials I've ever watched, you did an amazing job!
I was just thinking about this yesterday! I needed this video, thank you!
Dude Clint @
pwnisher your content is getting better and better each day. Thanks for all of the tutorial help and great content!
Means a lot thanks!

it's amazing how you make Tutorials. i learn a lot from this channel.
HOLY F-
I didn't even know you could cut out unwanted image parts and fill it like that!!
awesome video dude!
This video is so unbelievable useful. Gonna help lot's of artists for sure
You actually make fantastic videos!
This is the video I've been waiting for
dude! your videos are so high quality. I also like that you go to the outside to do your thing. Not common for a cg artist
I don’t even do CGI or 3D graphics yet I watched the whole thing because it’s so fascinating
Killing it as always Clint.
This is exactly what I needed, and it just popped up in my recommended!
Doing the Lord's work right here.
More videos like this. This is best 😍

This was hella dope. Thanks for showing us the process!
I never knew you could do that in Quixel and I never ever used PS to do this before (actually used Blender this whole time). Awesome stuff, Clint!
Thanks for sharing your Knowledge ❤
not my wheelhouse but i understood all the crap you were talking about (or felt like i did) your a frigging great teacher dude, like AAA
I took some macro lens photos of melting snow. The crystalline structures are fascinating with an added bonus of sparkles. Your video gave me some good foundation for turning my shots into PBR's.
Love these textures Clint. 100%
-What do you do for living?
-I shoot wall pictures
-Wallll?
-Yes pure concrete wall

Love this. So many awesome textures around us and not being utilized.
Devil's Gate! Love that spot
I bought a mirror less camera ages ago specially for this. Than never learned how to do this. Thank you for the tutorial!!!
Clint you are wonderful, thanks for sharing this awesomeness. Stoked to see you flourishing on your own terms, makes me all warm and fuzzy inside
This guy is great!
this guy is amazing
Great work im excited to see what you use these textures for
One of the best tutorials in image modifications! Thank you Clint!

That was impressive! Nice job with all that concrete!
this advertisement for wacom was fantastic
Just wow. This process from the beginning to the end is so interesting. I really want to try it out as soon as I get the chance.
