Create hand painted tileable textures using Blender

A quick tutorial on how to use Blender's awesome paint tools to create tileable textures. One might not immediately think of 3D modeling software as being a good place for creating 2D handpainted artwork, but Blender makes it pretty easy. Best of all, you can use a UV trick to make dealing with those tileable texture seams so much easier. The tutorial also goes through hand painting bump maps and then transforming them into normal maps ready to use in a game engine.
