Tiling part of texture creation

[Springheel]

Well, I started off offering help with tiling and in less than two weeks I'm learning about normalmaps so who knows?

 

Heh. I started off offering to help with concept sketches.

Tell me about that feeling.. More than a half time of editing is just flying around in 3D wiew in Dark radiant and walking around in Dark mod..

 

This is so true... sometimes to the point where I fly laps around the map in the editor trying to un-derp my brain long enough to find something to do, even though I have a list of stuff open on the next monitor in plain view...

oh thank god, i'm not the only one. In the past, if I made something cool in DR, i would spend a lot of time just walking around in TDM or flying around in DR enjoying the grand majesty and supremeness of my awesome work. It's almost like TDM editing is a completely different animal than playing TDM and talking about the gameplay and bugs etc in the forums. Even if it never amounts to anything that people will use or see in the mod, the act of getting your hands dirty with DR, blender, 3dsmax, photoshop, gimp, or anything else towards the goal of FM or asset creation is its own separate magical experience with its own language and forum (the editors guild or wiki) that most people don't care to understand or bother with.

I also do that a lot. Extra advantages: I notice bugs and get new ideas I can incorporate into the build.
