Manhole Covers

[Jeb]

I've been following this mod for the last year or two and decided that even if I don't have very much time to contribute, I can at least register to show my support.

 

I came across this today and thought the designs fit the setting for The Dark Mod:

My apologies if this has been posted before. I thought that this may help give some ideas for manhole covers as well as other textures in general.

 

Thanks for all the hard work on the mod. I, and many others, look forward to enjoying this great mod. The Thief series has been one of my all time favorites, which I continue to play to this day when I can find the time.

Wow, those are great! I'll definitly include some of them in the future, there are some really cool ornaments there. (Interesting how much effort they've put into creating nice covers for man-holes... )

 

Welcome to the forums, BTW!

Yeah, those are cool. Thanks.

 

@angua,

while I'm thinking aout it...

I was thinking it would be cool to do 'ornamental' normals. Not to be used on any one object specifically but as a resource for textures.

 

For example, if one of those designs is made into a normal map we could have it in the directory. Anyone could DL it, copy/paste it into their specific tex as needed.

 

Anyway,I know probably a bad place to post but I've been thinking about it and this brought it to mind.

There are already a couple of those in our stone/sculpted folder. All the normals were made in Blender and rendered directly to a normalmap. They can be combined with almost any stone texture using addnormals().
