Improving some low-quality original objects?

Nameless_Voice on 18/9/2005 at 20:28

Does anyone recognise (http://textures.forrest.cz/cgi-bin/showimage.cgi?page=wood&pic=Burloak.jpg) this texture?

Hint: Obj\Txt16\BurlWo1.gif

Here's a shot of one of the other doors I've rebuilt using Esh's base. What do you think?

lol LGS used the internet :D

I think that door looks nice but the key is too bright.
The inside of the keyhole should have the metal texture inside it (perhaps a bit darker), because it's not really a hole.

Interesting, that's another one of 3ds max's standard textures (maps\Wood\BURLOAK.JPG).

The new Keeper door looks fine, I think. In the original the keyhole is more silvery, though, and both the key & keyhole look a bit more threedimensional.

I agree the key is far too bright for such a rusty door...

Okay... I'll see about darkening it a little. ("More 3D"? How can you get more 3D than a rendering of a 3D key?)

If someone could provide some decent sized replacments I could give it a go.

I've already made improved versions of those textures; they were included in the latest beta/demo.

I suspect that Obj\Txt16\OldWood.gif is somehow based on OldWood.jpg from 3D Studio Max too, but can't quite see which part they used.

i've been finding a lot of textures used in various games from different companies, after some looking i've found textures out of the photoreal pack in farcry, half life 2, and hitman 2, i've also found some textures in common in these games. perhaps they are being found on the internet, or bought in a package from some company.

Nevertheless, the key currently looks like somebody went over it with a steamroller. ;) How about adding some bevel/emboss to it, like this?

I'll have to see about tweaking that one.

In the mean time, does this apple look more like the proper Thief tomato?

NV, it looks more like a peach. The light on the cucumber looks good though.

Eshaktaar on 24/9/2005 at 16:06

Considering the red original, I'd imagine the apple to look something like (http://pantransit.reptiles.org/images/1998-07-05/object.jpg) this, possibly without any green. Image-googling "red apple" gives some nice examples.

The cucumber is well done. Is it new or the one already included in the latest beta?
