Trying a new method for GoldSrc texturing! Been a hot minute since I used Substance Designer, and I got a wee bit frustrated with it. So I took some inspiration from Gunman Chronicles, and tried making textures sculpturally. But instead of taking photos of clay (they seriously did that!), these are renders of 3d stuff made in blender. I think I like this method a lot :)

Looks really good!
I like how this turned out, I don't think I've seen this technique on GoldSource before.
Thank you! They did something like it on Gunman Chronicles, but they did it pyhsically. Look around on the valve archive, they have some photos showing clay sculptures the devs made for textures.
