I think the bricks look awesome. But yeh the graffiti doesn't look like actual graffiti. Nice job on the bricks.. fooled Mt with it

Thank you guys! =) I did each brick by hand because i didnt want them to be uniform, so it took a little longer then it should of. I updated the graffiti a tad, but im still new to this photoshop stuff so i wasnt quite sure what exactally i needed to do to make it look more realistic. I was just so proud of my stupid bricks that i forgot all about the fonts LoL. Thank you guys again!

Cool beans. I've seen alot of brick tuts and this looks like one of the results you can get with a tut.
I like it.

use a displacement map to get the graffiti to fit, it should work. . .


edit: here i tried it. after that i just had to see how hard it was.. i screwed around with displacement a little and this is what i got, i know its crappy, but waddya guys think?
