Making New Textures

[Dazza]

Hey guys,

I'm mainly looking for answers from any 2d artists here because I'm wondering about how you make a tiled texture.

Also how is the best way for me to go about making any new textures for my DXA mod? See because I'm also planning on using HDTP once it's done for DXA and therefore I realise that I need to make my own textures which are consistant with the new ones in HDTP otherwise I'll have a mixture of cheaper textures compared to that of HDTP's.

Also I don't expect to get you guys to do it for me or something so I need to know how to do it myself. Here are the questions I need answered again;

1.) How do you make a tiled texture? (I understand the concept of how it works and all but what's the best way to do it?)

2,) How do I make new textures for my DXA mod and keep them consistant in quality with HDTP's textures?

Thanks for any help,
Cheers,

-Darren
