Texture Sources

[Renzatic]

The best place to find wallpaper textures? Why from an online wallpaper retailer, of course! Browsing through the samples has netted me more than a few potentially good textures to be used in the game, in fact the beige wall that's on display in my most recent room mockup was sourced from here.

Some are a little cheesy and wouldn't work in the Thief universe, but if you dig around the site for a few you'll find some excellent textures that are well worth throwing in. I intend on taking a few and piecing them together to make some nice, detailed walls.

 

If anyone else has any good websites we can source from, place em here. They don't even have to be useable as actual textures, if we can get a few ideas or inspirations from then they're more than welcome.

Also, see my post in Weekly Targets (sticky), to garner inspiration for our current theme.

Hey Gang,

 

I'm still on my little trek through Canada. I'll be in Ottawa for a little while tomorrow and hope to see some possible texure sources. I don't have a digital camera unfortunatly....it's just a little cheapie that my mom gave me to take vacation pics with.

She is going to be sorely disappointed when she finds out all that I did was take pics for this Mod. Ha.

 

I'll be around with some pics sometime next week.

 

Later.

Found another great texture source, this being a bit more my style and somewhat fitting with the theme I want for my eventual map.

These 2 pictures in particular piqued my interest...

I'm obviously gonna have to change the style a bit for the mod, but I've always liked the derelict look.

I spent the night in an abandoned sanitarium this past weekend and took plenty of pictures. Here's some low res samples of some stuff I got on digital, I also took some with 800 speed film but haven't developed them yet.

I can upload high res versions if you guys want to use them.

Wow, very cool stuff, Phantom.

 

lol, it seems that no matter where you are are there's always an abandoned asylum close by.

Waverly is supposedly the second most haunted place in the US, next to Gettysburg, but I'll be damned. I didn't see anything at all. Yeah, it's a scary place, 5 stories tall, 100,000 square feet, 68,000 deaths, but I'm not so sure it's haunted. I donated a hundred bucks to the restoration so that I could spend the night in there. I have no stories to tell, the only thing I left with was pictures...

Yeah, I've been to so many supposedly haunted places, but I've yet to ever see anything even remotely resembling a ghost. There have been plenty of weird goings-on, but I dunno if it could be anything classified as supernatural.

 

But anyway, I've got a couple of links to add to the huge dispository.

Fairly nice find, I'm sure I could find a use for at least a couple of textures here.

 

And one for inspiration...

I've actually been to this place quite a few times. It's definately got a nice ambience to it that could be best described as "creepy as hell", specially when you go out there late at night.

 

The site itself has a touch of teh corny about it, but the pictures that they've managed to dig up are excellent.

The absolute motherload...
