Searching for good tutorials resources

[Wiz7]

Hi,

I am currently modeling a character in 3DSMax but since i have nobody to help me in texturing it later, i will have to do it myself.
Therefor, I've decided to start learn photoshop.
However, i would like to skip steps and learn the needed basic plus what i exactly need.

I am searching for these type of tutorials:

• How to make a texture from a picture taken with a camera.
• How to make a tile-able texture.
• How to make a soldier uniform texture and pockets of the uniform.

I would really really appreciate for answers.
Thanks from advance.

By the way, my goal is to make a mini FPS game, this is what is all for.

when it comes to modeeling in 3ds Max you want to speak to DV8 as he is our studio max guy.

as to making a texture from a photo what do you need to know as the photo is a texture are you looking at making it into a repeating pattern, Oh just read your 3 things you want to achieve lol so yes.

edit the texture you want with all the enhancements etc and crop the picture so you only have the part of it you want as a texture.
then go to Filter>other>offset this will make your image be off set so it will tile better.

go to select all then go to edit define pattern and save it.

once it is saved you can grab the paint bucket tool and at the top instead of having a colour select pattern and your texture should be the last 1 in the available box so pattern number 3.

Hope that helps and welcome to the forum
