texturing an urban backstreet(1st time texturing)

[Dreamwave]

Here is the file. I feel like a tit should have remembered taht file really.

Don't laugh its a shit first attempt, any advice would be great.
The contents of the scene are a steel door, bin and dumpster and a cot matress. everything is supposed to look worn, piss stains up the corner of the wall etc. The bricks are far too big too and I'm not sure what to do about it.

Thanks in anticipation

here it is I hope sorry had to reduce its size loads hopefully you can enlarge it a fair bit

[benjii19]

Here is a slighlty better view. what is the best resolution for putting jpg's up here I don't usually have to keep file sizes this low.

Okay, well if you want to make it look all grimy and dirty then you need to concentrate on the areas where dirt and damage should collect. At the bottom of the door there should be dirt and damage from people kicking and scuffing it by accident, the bottom and corners of the walls where dirt collects, in the dents of the dumpster and anywhere there is a corner. Then add a few random bits of staining like the odd bit of piss here or there, grafitti etc. If you need some high res images to overlay in photoshop then go to http://www.art.net/~jeremy for a good pool.

Heres a pretty good quick tutorial for this type of stuff:

All the best :)

Use the Scale settings at the bottom of the texture editor.

The usual method (when you don't plan out the scene complletely) is to load the image, hit automatic sizing, then use the Scale sliders at the bottom to set the size.
