Those tutorials will show you how to paint a "wood" texture for and how to make it tile for example.
Do a quick search for "texture painting" and you will find a ton. While there are not many Doom specific tutorials for this, there are a ton of 3D modelling software related ones, which work just as well for Doom. You can also paint your own textures from scratch. The rest is merely downsizing to Doom resolution and of course converting to Doom's palette. Put a metal bar on a brick wall for example. You just look for source photographs of textures that you want to use (from sites like which has a ton of free stuff if you register) and then either use them directly (some on already tile) or mix them together. If you want to create textures from scratch there are two ways: Most of the times, texture packs are done like this. Of course, you can also just make your complete textures in Photoshop and then go with one texture = one patch. For an example of what I mean, open this texture pack in SLADE and look at how it doesn't actually contain any new art - everything is done by recombining the standard Doom II patches from doom2.wad in different ways. That means that you're supposed to create modular texture elements and then you can combine them in many different ways to create textures from them. However, you will need SLADE to convert the images into textures that the game can use.Īlso, note that the Doom texture system works with "patches" that are composited together to form a texture.
(There are some pixel editing tools in SLADE, but they're very rudimentary and not intended to substitute for an actual art program.) SLADE isn't, in itself, a real image editor.
So would photoshop work for this kind of thing? Or do I have to use slade?įor creating the source images, Photoshop is much better.
