Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it, follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

I have a curious question for those out there who work on games or like working on games. Mainly this is a question about textures and game art books I'm looking for.
I need some books or a bible of sorts for game textures and how to achieve something great through old fashion hard work in photoshop.
I'm looking for a book that describes in references or tutorials on how to achieve some stunning textures. I might have to start learning some texturing techniques.
I'm not new to photoshop, it's been in my blood since as long as i can remember and I can get some pretty nice stuff working but that's within my own means. No references other than the images I take on my digicam for blending and what not. But I know there has to be a great book out there for texture artists.
can anyone give me a point in the right direction? thanks
edit: I found this online. But , i can't shake the feeling its just a book with a bunch of pretty pictures and no real gritty learning going on in there.
