Hello,i have question about making game.I am taking a pictures of stuff(their textures with my phone) and placing them in Unity editor,when i place them,they don’t look so good.On desktop pictures are high quality.Can you someone suggest how to edit pictures to make them perfect for game.Because when i add on huge wall in editor,they are bad quality,when i edit RBG size,texture are getting in small cubic’s or splitting.Can someone suggest how to correctly take a picture for placing in editor and what is recomended pixels of camera needed to take picture in better quality(now i am using 5 pixels).I don’t want to use textures from google or somewhere else.Because i want to release game in public and i don’t want to sign somewhere and asking for permission to use textures.
I’m not up to date on what phone cameras a capable of nowadays, but usually you get lower quality pictures.
Even if you have a good quality camera taking pictures for a texture is still not trivial and usually still requires some editing. Depending on what you are going to do with them you need to make them tileable, adjust the brightness etc. You need to make sure that you don’t have nasty shadows in your picture, that they are not blurry and so on. I did this myself and the results were pretty decent but it took a big amount of time.
The needed size of your textures strongly depends on what they are used for. A cup of tea? 126x126 could be enough to make it look decent. 100x100 wall? 1024x1024 won’t be enough.
Keep in mind that the file size inreases drastically with higher resolutions. Textures will likely be the bigges part of your total file size. You can modify the import settings in the inspector to save them at a smaller resolution without editing the.
There are a couple of sites on the web where you can get free textures. I like cgtextures myself. You do need an account, but all the textures are free to use under some attribution license. This means they are free as long as you credit them. Just put a link to their site in your game and you are set. They offer a large variety of ready to use textures. Some are also tileable which will solve your 100x100 wall problem
