Textures - Bricks, Trees, Rocks, Wood, Etc.

[Darkness_Falls]

I've uploaded a bunch of possible texture resources to the FTP for you to use. They're not on CVS; feel free to transfer them there if you wish. Feel free to PM me if any of them get used; I'd be interested to see how they turn out in-game.

 

They're about 2MB each, so 56K users probably won't even take a peek.

I posted the ceiling images mainly for ideas of seeing how the beams attach to each other as possible interior designs.

 

I love this tree branch:

You may wonder why I posted the ugly orange carpet one, or the ugly tiles, but I'm always surprised at the different textures you can create after zooming in or out -- or changing the brightness, contrast or colors -- of a pic. In the end, I assume someone who is creative could use these pictures (and textures posted by others) in ways we wouldn't even imagine.

Not bad at all. Some I can't use for textures, but I can use em for architectural ideas.

[Darkness_Falls]

I'm glad to hear they might be helpful, Renzatic You're right, I did post a few of them just as design inspiration rather than texture. Like that twisty tree I thought might even help me in drawing trees.

Wow! Nice pic, is that near your house DF?

[Darkness_Falls]

3 more pics added. I forgot I had these. This door one might come in especially handy...

Well, actually, Dram... I didn't really wanna say, but the pictures are actually from the house and property that I grew up. I took a bunch of pictures a few weeks ago because my parents had to sell the property, and the new people are going to tear the house down in matter of days/weeks and put like 8 houses on the property. Makes me very sad. I have a lot of good memories there and I lived there over 20 years of my life. Was the only home I ever had until I moved out. Sooo, lots of memories; you know how it goes. That's why I had asked people to PM me if if anything happens to get used in the mod. I thought it would be neat to see a familiar something in the game.

 

We actually used that tree as a swing tree. There was this big, thick gray rope tied to a different branch much higher up in the tree. My brother, friends and I used to climb the tree out to the end of that branch there and somoene else would swing the rope up to whoever was on the branch then that person would swing down. Was lots of fun The big rocks are special to me, too. Not sure why; I guess they're just landmarks, ya know? I hope someone in the family can get heavy machinery to carry them somewhere else, like to my house or one of my family member's house.

 

Here are the other 2 pics I added. Not necessarily good for textures, but maybe just for looking at:

I wish I had some good quality pictures of when it is summer time there. It's very beautiful with all the flowers and leaves. *sigh* I'm going to miss it.

Damn, that IS a shame . I hate to see nice places like that give way to a concrete jungle . I feel for you DF, same with me and my great Grandma's. They had to sell it and it got torn down - also excellent memories. Now I miss it. That was in my homeland though - Czech Republic. *Sigh* It's all a pity .

[Darkness_Falls]

Yeah, I feel for you, too. It's never fun to lose something or someone we love or care about I wish the earth was a lot bigger and that we didn't have such a need or desire to condense populations together, resulting in these concrete jungles. And, of course, that there was peace on earth... but that's a different story

Since I can't post in the beta testing map forum for some reason, here goes. Is it Baffords that Demi is trying to recreate in his level? If so, it would probably be worth creating a texture for the Baffords 'yellow brick wall', which takes up most of the level.

Post a shot up, Mac..I'll see what I can do.

Thief looks a lot worse than I remember it. Anyhoo, here's the yellow/orange bricks that Baffords is made of. Sorry it's dark, gamma was right up.
