How to make HD/HQ custom tile ?

[Kazeon]

Guys, I want to learn about making custom tiles, and I want to make a HD grass tile. What must I do? Must I create a file with high resolution or what? thnks for any help
EDIT: I meant brick or any stone path tile. I'm sorry if I posted in the wrong forum, I have no idea where must I post this thread

His resolution tiles are usually 4x4 (128x128 each of them) but working with that resolution is still a bit difficult. I'd suggest making the tile at 256x256 and down-scaling it afterwards. As for the actual process, you need a program such as photoshop or GiMP and a lot of time. I'd suggest looking up a tutorial or two depending on the actual tile you want to make on youtube. After you finish the tile, you should use the offset function to remove seams.

well, I have made some, take a look. So what must I do next?

These are very nice. I do notice a seam or two but they will hardly be noticeable in-game so you need not worry. I'd suggest maybe adding some more highlights and shadows on the respective edges depending on where the light is coming from. I actually saw a very neat video last night, I'll link it in a sec. Here it is.
