Texture Sources.

[New Horizon]

Hey guys, I'm in British Columbia for a few days. I'll be trying to take some digital photos for some possible texture sources. Won't be a huge amount but hopefully some things we can use here and there.

I don't think I've mentioned this, but I could probably take quite a few photos we could use. We actually have an old medieval fortress where I live.. But it would be easier if I knew a bit more exactly what you guys need. Also, what about normalmaps, anything I should keep in mind when shooting the pictures? Shadows, lights etc.

Just to make sure there aren't too many or too dark or directional shadows or lighting. The best situation would be cloudy, muted daylight - NOT direct sunlight or interior lit by a bright indoor light.

 

We could do with some general surfaces, ground, bricks, windows, pretty much anything.

I'm working on a few textures from photosources, including ground and treebark ones.

If you think it'll look cool in the game then take a picture of it.

 

Whenever I get my digital camera (many moons from now), I'm gonna go ballswild. I CANNOT WAIT!

Trying my best to get some shots. It has been cloudy here, so some of them look quite nice. I've been kind of rushed unfortunately, since the people I'm walking with are in a hurry....but there should be a few salvagable shots. I'll post them when I get the chance.

 

Seeya.

I'm back from my trip to vancover. I'll get the pictures sorted and post anything that might work for inspiration or as a texture source.

Now on the ftp. Here is the link.

 

They're not perfect. I didn't always have time to set things up since my friends didn't really understand what I was up to and were impatient. At any rate, there are a few in there that may work. Lighting conditions weren't always perfect and a few are hampered by the flash going off when I didn't want it to and didn't have time to take a second shot.

 

Some texture sources

I just checked them out - unfortunately some of them are a bit too lowres, but some stuff, like texture14 is really excellent !

Cool, as long as you can get some use out of a few of them.

Here is another one I took today.

 

The sun came out just as I got to this place, so there are some shadows unfortunately.

 

Red Brick

That could work great with a little shadow correction, methinks.

Excellent. I'll continue taking random pics here and there when I have access to the digital camera. It belongs to my inlaws, so I don't get it that often.
