Hey people. I was absent some time. Is there still something going on here? :) I hope so...

I disappeared . . .
Check thieve's highway for nomad's map. It's coming together but It's still needs a lot of work.

Yeah. I actually checked there already, but there were like 40 posts and considering that I am currently playing Dark Messiah, it's hard to do anything else... ;)

Those really look good, Judith! :eek: Maybe someday I'll be able to texture half as well as you.

Very nice textures. I'm curious what those textures look like outside of the game. Like do you have an all grass, an all dirt, and then a strip for the sides that is blended?
STiFU on 19/11/2006 at 10:08
Yeah very nice work.... I guess it's hard to align those textures correctly... :)

Just as a convenience, you might consider looking into a program called Genetica for texture creation - it's procedural so everything tiles nicely, and with 2.5 Pro it can do normal maps too (and if you've got v2, it's a free update)
Costs about $300 or something though, bit it's a funky little doodad.

Oh, it's not that hard, Nomad. I work with Gimp, these texture is comprised of 2 layers: grass, and dirt underneath it. I just used eraser on grass, only had to configure my own brush.
The rest was just a little bit of maths, because textures displayed in 1:1 proportions simply look ugly, or outdated (or I am missing something important about texture creation for T3). The floor of this room is 1024x1024, to make it look this crispy I had to make texture which is 4096x4096 and scale it down 4 times! Certainly not a good idea in the long run, I guess the editor will eventually crash, or the loading time will be ridiculously long. This is the texture created in 1:1 proportions:

Oh, and this huge texture image used earlier:
