TEXTURES: Official Thread

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Mickebear: That is what I recognized(the reflection from PS). I hope I didn't sound mean or anything.

Still I am not sure if BATters can use them, as they are not flat, with the gradient applied, or at least tileable and seamless. One or the other is needed.

[Shadow Assassin 336]

Ah, this should be useful.

Is it possible to have a decent glass texture made for this sort of building?

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Shadow_Assassin: You want a single pane designed, for each window, or just one large rectangle of glass. or several versions of single pane? 256x256 or 128x128?

This will be custom glass and refraction/reflection added to suit taste.

 

I am still currently looking at roads and bricks, seamless tileables. I can do a slew of glass next.

 

 

[Shadow Assassin 336]

One large rectangle of glass of various different versions.

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Shadow Assassin: This glass thing is not working out well. It is rendering as , too realistic for SC4. I am not giving up though. It will take me some time, to get the blurry transmitions set properly and then a render in B5.5 with glass reflection, takes about as long as B.A.T. renders.

I will update this post with textures shortly and PM you right away.

Can anyone point me to some useful textures for modern commerical/office building? If you can post them in this thread that would be great!

Thanks

What are you looking for, a type of metal? A nice shiny blue/gray metal? Or something else? Take a look through this site, all the textures are at the bottom. Although it's in French/English you don't really need to read in order to understand it.

Sadly, I am a butthead. I forgot a request by PrinceOfSims. I am very sorry about that, PrinceOfSims.

So, now I am working on mossy covered bricks and retaing wall textures, seawalls will come from this I assure you.

 

Here is one I made. Sort of mossy crawl-up. meant to be placed, in a vertical row.

Hey, any news on my seamless brick textures?

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Brick 6 Pack.

 These are jpg's for webpost, at 256x256. I have these at 512x512 bmp's for those requesting them e-mailed.

Ah yes, exactly what I was looking for!  That's superb thanks!  I'll let you know what they look like in use when I get home from work!  Oh, one more small request, the bottom left one is great but a slightly richer yellow variation would be great -as well like the bricks in the Neo-Roman building at the centre of the photo below - but keep the original as I have a use for that too (well, I can use all of

these or I wouldn't have asked for them!).

 

I particularly like the middle-left dark brown one, ideal for my 60s buildings!

 

Thanks,

 

Gary

I'm looking for a dark pane glass texture for a decent-sized building. Kind of like tinted glass.

Thanks.

[toxicpiano 125]

hmmm... me too! i might need that for my airport BATs...

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

SlowHand/Toxicpiano:

 

Glass is one of the most time consuming to render and also the correct radiosity, blur and reflection. I need to experiment a bit with this.

Glass of all kinds coming soon. Have so many textures to work on at the moment and I have spent too much time goofing in the forums today. shame on me.

 

I will append textures to this post an PM you sitizens, as soon as they are up.

 

EDIT: My first piece of glass. I have spent days looking at glass panels, glass skyscrapers, etc... even blown glass. Glass does one thing in various lighting; reflect the surroundings clearly.

 

That being said, can BAT take my texture and set a transparency to it?

 

This is a piece of glass, reflecting the terrain surrounding it.

That is a nice looking glasstexture frndofyaweh.

Does anyone know where i can find a texture of One Liberty Plaza in NYC?

Here a pic:http://img40.imageshack.us/img40/3748/onelibertyplaza1lc.jpg align=baseline>

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

JoeyNYMets: Hmmm, That image would have to be much bigger. Big enough to see the building materials actually used. In that case the image would be big enough to use as the texture itself. Other than that, I can produce many variations of grey cement or other building textures, or tileable panels.

Let me know in this thread, what you want exactly and maybe I can reproduce it.

I hope you mean bigger as in more closer, anyway here you go:

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Yes, I see now! A painted metal panel, sort of. I may be able to reproduce a few versions for you. Actually this would be a quick one for me to make.

The images below use our textures, from previous pages in this thread.

 

Can you spot them?

I don't get what you mean, spot what?

[mntoes 270]

Tsk......Well I can spot at least one! The glass texture you made looks good on this building.

Good to see them applied to a model. Keep up the good work

 

[joeynymets 19]

Oh now i know what you mean. yea i see some.

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Okay fellow sitizens her are some black metals. I think they are a bit dark though. I could also add a grittier appearance.

This is just the first attempts. My second posts are normally much improved. I will update to this same post if no one responds by then.

JoeyNYMets/Mntoes: Thanks for noticing my, not so great handi-work, but who can resist the encouraging comments. I will do my best to make great and useful textures for all.

 

to be continued...

 

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

sorry to double post but had to get these textures up. I felt it was important to bring it up in Forum ticker. These are exclusives just for ST Sitizens! Thank you for the title Azul_Blue!

Sweet. I could use those as well.

Nice work. All I have to do is make them transparent.

Great work!

[tag_one 132]

Hi all,

does anyone has a good texture for the roof of this storage building, or does anyone knows a good site with industrial roof textures.

 

 

Thanks Tag_One

[TheCrybKeeper 278]

Tag One: I can most likely make you a custom one, just give me 24 hours? The image you posted allows me to know, exactly what you are needing.

Here is my latest piece of glass.

 

 When I rendered this image, I reflected a pic from one of my cities into it, from behind my main camera.

Nice texture. Any way of a dark blue clear plain glass texture you have on mind? No clouds or effects or anything. Just glass.

Thanks. Great textures, by the way.

[Xyloxadoria 1,099]

I have about 3,000 diffent textures espicially made for creating buildings or city items (at the current moment, i will probably have more later) If you need anything describe it, i propblaby have it. And i have about 100 street sign pictures, in cluded in this. Also side views of builds doors radio tows airports, brick stone you name it and about 20of each type plus more not mentiond above.
