“Asset Day”: every other week, on Friday, I post a little timelapse or mini-post on how to create a specific game asset for the RTS project I develop throughout my Unity RTS programming tutorial.

Today, here is a timelapse of how I made a wood plank texture for my RTS game in Krita.

The timelapse

I started from a free texture available online at https://freestocktextures.com/photos-wood/ and worked on it to make it wider and mitigate the repetitive patterns. After copying the original image to get my final width, I used the “Clone Tool” to gradually recreate a continuous texture wherever copies overlapped in non-seamless ways.

This allows me to get something way more “plain” that is really neat for UI backgrounds in my game ;)
