How to take a picture for your own texture?

what you need: good lighting and a professional SLR camera.

The best professional photography equipment you need are DSLR Cameras.

Mobile phones are not recommended because the quality of pictures taken by mobile phones is not good enough; also the filters in mobile phones camera will cause color difference, which makes it difficult to apply in the adjustment.

Advantages: it clearly shows the texture, and the map will be bigger.

Difficulties: you have to be good at taking pictures, careful of light and details. Make the center shaper and blur the edge. You also need to retouch the photo after you shoot it.

If it’s impossible to find a studio near you, you can look for any open site in the shade. Use the proper mode (e.g. Auto), with flash turned off, and no artificial lighting. Make sure that the material is evenly illuminated, avoid highlight or shadow, otherwise it will be very difficult to process afterwards.

(Don’t forget to check your image quality settings in order to get the best images)
vertical shooting: shoot the object vertically with the camera lens, the distance should be moderate, include all the objects and every detail is sharp, take in a large field of view, don’t worry about surroundings, those can be removed during the process later.
