Master Builder Store - a new texture site

Hi everyone,

 

I'd like to present you a new site dedicated to sharing textures, Thief universe-related textures in particular. I'd like it to be an independent repository, where all the textures are stored on one server, where every author has his own folder, and is able to present his own terms of using works presented there.

 

The second reason is the ease of use. Most sites offer photo references, not tileable textures. Making such texture can take a considerable amount of time, which is obviously slowing down designer's progress. Besides, DarkRadiant, Flesh or any other modern engine use normalmaps. Those require some time and knowledge to be prepared as well, again slowing mappers down a bit.

 

The third reason was accessibility. There's no free website giving you full control over posted images, ability to sort it by tags, authors, categories, etc. There's always some option missing.

 

That's why I gathered some of our finest texture makers on TTLG and presented my idea - fortunately, they liked it :) In the beginning it was supposed to be a texture repository for T3 Editors' Guild, but such restriction would be ridiculous, right? ;) That's why it's a site for all designers (T1, T2, T3, DarkRadiant and any other engines), as long as they respect texture authors' rights, expressly stated in appropriate section.

 

So, without further ado, welcome to Master Builder Store, taffers!

Oooh shiny! Nice! Me wants! :wub:

 

One wish I had (there is always one :) would it be possible to get a 3D rendering of textures (so you see the normalmap in action).

Are you guys planning into expanding into a model gallery type deal as well? Or has that already been done?

I'm a poor modeller unfortunately and don't have much to offer :) Child of Karras made a website for T3 models called SMesh Brothers http://www.redfox-media.com/jayb-productio...eshes/index.php

 

I think it would be cool to convince him to "think globally" and make it a resource site for Dromeders, T3 Editors and DarkModders alike.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?

      I like the new frob highlight but it would nice if it was less "flickery" while moving over objects (especially barred metal doors).
