Mind Maps

This was a quick mind map to show what kind of textures i should look at and investigate and consider. These are also very basic standardised stuff which can be seen everyday.

Textue pictures

My Top 6 

Brick wall , This texture would be useful to texture walls , The quality of this picture will also come in hand y if its scaled up or scaled down, because it wont look pixalated 

A nice texture found on a wall , it could also resemble  engraved metal and such. and give something depth 

A tree image, that would  be good for a natural  texture

gravel  image. Useful for a flooring texture

A Rotting wooden image, But this could be useful to make a rock face or cliff side
