+*Before making your own textures, you should check out [[Custom Content Websites]] for textures. Otherwise, you can try to make your own.

+*First, download an image editor of your choice, such as [http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ The Gimp]

+***With some textures, there are things you should do to them to make them more realistic, such as [http://tutorials.texturama.com/tut_dirty.html adding dirt]. Keep that in mind.

+*Then you will probably want to make it seamless.
+**In Gimp go to '''Filters → Map → Make Seamless''', and Gimp will make the texture seamless by modifying the corners.
+***For other softwares, you can probably find plugins which help you do this.
−Otherwise download a program called gimp
+*An alternate way to make textures seamless can be found [http://www.coniserver.net/wiki/index.php/Seamless_Texture_Tutorial here] and a different version of the same tutorial can be found [http://www.photoshoptextures.com/texture-tutorials/seamless-textures.htm here]
+*As for size: your texture should be 512x512 at a bare minimum. If the texture is too large within Sandbox, you can always use /vscale to fix it. Always use powers of 2 (512, 1024, 2048) for dimensions.
