These type of textures also seem to work well for layering two or three textures together with different layer modes.Īll in all, this is nice and simple, and fast way to create some colorful textures. Of course changing the gradient type, and the brush will have a big effect on the look of the texture, but so will more subtle things like the opacity of the brush, and the paint mode can make for some interesting effects. Offset that image one more time (or not,actually…), and your ready to go. But if you do, just repeat the above steps again and you should be fine. You will probabaly want to avoid painting at the edges of the image when you do this. You probabaly want to give it a bit of character so it looks more natural. The secret to making tileable images is to make this transition smooth.įor gradient painting with grunge brushes, this typicaly just means painting along those lines. Your image will now show what used to be at its edges at the center of the image. Then choose the convient “x/2, y/2” option, and hit OK. The easiest way to do this is to offset your image by half its height, and half its width. The hard part is making the image tilable. Fill the image completely if you dont want alpha poking though. If you want to stick to a very set pattern, your texture might look a bit more orderly. For this particular example, I used “Caribbean_Blues”.
minecraft, open the versions folder and then go into the folder of the version that your texture pack should be. Pick one at random, you can get nice results from any of them. What you will need: Image editing program (, Photoshop, GIMP, MS Paint is not recommended) First off, open your explorer and type appdata into the box thats to the left of the searching box. Now choose a gradient from the the gradient selector ( Dialogs -> Gradients). Of course, please experiment.įor example, lets choose the “Grunge 15” brush. I would suggest setting the spacing to about 80-120 or so. Get these for real fun with gradient brushes.īasically, just select one of those brushes, and se the spacing to something reasonable (most default to 10 or so). A very nice set can be found in the June 1999 edition of, in the brushes section. So called “grunge brushes” work quite well for this use. To really spice thigns up a bit, you need some more interesting brushes. Just filling in an image with a gradient brush is a good start for interesting textures, and you can make some nice ones that way.īut that gets a little boring after a while. You can also press the Gradient button to change the current gradient. When you play minecraft with an applied texture (or resource) pack, it will apply that texture packs image to the object. Just check the option “Use Color from Gradient” and start painting. Gradient brushes can be accessed from the standard paintbrush dialog. Essentially, this is just the regular paint tool, but instead of painting with a constant color, it gets its color from a gradient and rotates through the gradient as you paint.

The GIMP 1.2 series have a nice new feature I refer to as gradient brushes. Text and images Copyright (C) 2002 Adrian Likins and may not be used without permission of the author.
