how do you make a sand like texture?

[primal helm]

i saw a couple tutorials for making brick/cobble like textures by making 3x3 rectangles behind the model and making them tile but i cant get a similar result while trying to do it for sand. the noise brush wouldve been perfect for this but that got removed didnt it

?

wdym

theres no noise brush

[plain flower]

damn i thought i remembered one

[primal helm]

so the closest thing i got to a noise brush was using the brush color randomizer plugin, size 1, opacity 255 and softness 100 and then cranking the living hell out my mouse's sensitivity and start randomly drawing lines and shapes

now to see how this looks ingame

hmm need to make it have some depth variation

or well look like it anyway

Having the kind of noise that Blockbench (in the past) or a color randomizer plugin offer, wil never look good.
Not even the sand in Minecraft was made using noise.

it wasnt much help

all it does was like add or subtract 10% from the brightness

couldve done it manually but eh

"shortcuts" do rarely work to make good textures.

[primal helm]

rarely yes
