Looking for alpha textures

Post by ewall »

I'm trying to follow every single Lez Marwick video but now I'm stuck because my copy of APCD doesn't have alpha textures, or if it does I can't find them.Therefore I'm unable to seam blend. Also I don't have the full Photoshop program so I can't build an alpha as per Lez's instructions. Any ideas?

Hi ewall...

Here's a few alphas to help get you going.

Good luck,

Dan

You have some at viewtopic.php?f=16&t=76 , and there are lots of courses containing alphas that anyone is allowed to take from, such as Lez Marwick's courses for example.
Finished Courses - Main: Amedal (fictional), Nine Bridges (real)
Other: Austin, Sheshan, Kauri Cliffs, Le Golf Nat. Updates: Whirlpool, Royal Lytham, Royal St George's, Chicago, Chambers Bay, Munchen Nord E
Working on: 2 fictional courses + a couple things...

Hi ewall, you could download a program like Photoshop that is free...it's called GIMP and it can do alphas. Little bit of a learning curve, as with any software.
