Canon texture packs?

This texture is really great

I´ve used it too for the HD Mod!

I wonder if the skulls shouldn't be more dense like if actually stacked on top of each other and then grouted. Something like this maybe.

And about the skulls, this is actually pretty difficult to make, if you want it to look good. Almost each skull has different lightning and shadows on it right now, while they all should have the same (possibly flat) lightning. I guess the best way would be to model the skulls and bake them onto texture with default scene lightning. Still, this would be awfully time-consuming.

I tried to be fairly faithful to the original texture, so the skull placement is pretty much the same. I looked at pictures of catacombs like the one you posted, but the original 'skulwal' doesn't really look like that. Not really sure where it's used or what it's supposed to be. The texture I posted was already my second try at it, and I don't have time to start again, so I'll just leave the version I made here. Might make some slight alterations later, though.

In the meantime, I made this:

from this (bafford/btila.pcx):


Not sure about the colors, though.

Hey, the sneakily-edited skull wall which I almost missed is a jpg, I can't steal that!

Those Bafford tiles have a very different "white" colour than the originals, though I'm not so sure if that's a bad thing considering how much the original looks like it was butchered by palette reduction. I'd have to compare them in-game.

I tweaked the tile color a bit.

Has no one ever made a higher poly burrick? The original model sticks out like a sore thumb.

CHURCH/HAMMER2 (128x128 version)



512x512 PNG

Still a work in progress. I've omitted the large (what I presume to be) knot from the top right hammer head.
The original is 64x64, and I imagine the knot was added to enhance the overall wood effect at a small scale.
Should it still have the knot?
The grain on the hammer follows the back panel, as in the original, for a Bas relief effect.
It isn't knock yer eye out Hi-Res, I went for a more worn look. It tiles a bit better too. Too blurry perhaps?

[Nameless Voice]

Troutpack: the colours in the Bafford tile look much better now. I'm not sure about the sharp, crisp nature of the texture, though. Thief 1's style was rough and dirty - the clean and sharp edges of the new tile look more like something from Thief 2.

Purgator: I think the wood needs to look more eroded. Otherwise it looks good.

That's looks great!
Now we just need someone to replace those edgy brushes with more smoothly shapes! ...wait

[Soul Tear]

A bit better, those stalks or branches at the upper edge will probably stand out if the texture is tiled. Also, isn't it a bit too dark? Textures shouldn't have pitch black or full white areas, it won't look good in-game, where the engine takes user brightness settings into account, as well as lightning in the map itself. Do you have a Levels range you stick to?

I don't see black or white areas here. But this is not best textures in any way.

You can't assume that based solely on your observations. People have different monitors, gamma settings in their OS, brightness in-game etc. You got to rely on numbers (and graphs) for that:



And as you see this doesn't look very good, the leftmost part is cut, meaning it contains black areas without any details.

[Soul Tear]

Apparently I better go back to FM, this is very difficult for me.
I just added brightness and changed colors for a moss.

[Judith]

Hey, it's not that hard, and I assure you, it will be useful to you later Btw. increasing brightness won't do any good here. Unlike digital negatives, once you destroy some information in the image, it's done. It's either using Undo history or you have to go back to your original image, where all the data are intact and within Histogram range.

[Renzatic]

What he said. If you can do FMs, you can do textures. There's a bit to learn, and it all seems weird at first, but like anything, it's all pretty simple once you get used to it.

If you're up for spending a bit of money, this one tutorial is directly responsible for how I do things these days. That big tutorial I wrote here awhile back is basically a slight reiteration of what's in here.

Here's a grittier reboot of the tile. Rougher edges, has a bit of grime on top and more closely follows the color and shading of the original.

Awesome. Adding that one to the library right away.

Here's 2x2 version of wetbrick in 512x512:




I also made core_1/cavrgh5 in both 512x512 and 1024x1024:

Could you post some comparison screenshots of the cave textures in-game?

[Yandros]

Great to see this thread rockin' and some new folks chipping in.

No screens to show at the moment but the 1024x1024 variant looks too bland in game. When used with terrain scale of 256 it looks decent if somewhat blurry.

Looks better, but still not quite right. The original looks more rough and pitted along the edges. Yours still looks too clean in comparison.

[Purgator]

Another attempt at HAMMER2.

[Nameless Voice]

Looks great to me!

[Purgator]

Cool, thanks NV. I'll have a bash at a few others in the CHURCH family and see how they go.

[Necrobob]

Here's some TEMPLE stuff:



The backgrounds of the rose windows are blank because, well, it's inevitable that someone creates a better STONEBB than I did. The same goes for any other texture of mine, by the way; if you look at a texture and think "that bit there looks cool, shame about the rest of it", feel free to cut and paste it into better surroundings.

By the way, looking at the pack site, I'm questioning the wisdom of using my Thief 2 replacements in the Thief 1/Gold core family, since they often have slightly different proportions and sometimes even look completely different. Should probably look into making some actual T1/G versions.

[Nameless Voice]

Awesome work as always, Bob.

I'm not quite sure what to do with those rose textures. I can't really throw them in there until they're finished, or else I might forget and ship with them!

As for using your textures for T1 - I need to look through all of the textures from your package again. Some of them are too different from the originals. Generally speaking, the T2 versions often work in place of the T1 textures, but not always.

I had written a list of textures the textures in that pack that needed to be looked into, and maybe opted out of, but I never got back to it to check each of the items on that list in more detail.

A random example of one that looks totally different: http://nameless.zanity.net/epterrain...xture=cavedirt
