Thanks for the kind words. Anything I've learned has been a result of this forum and experimenting. I can't take all the credit forh these though as I used TextureMaker to help make these. I use to think all these texture generators were baloney but the truth is they can be useful to speed up certain operations. In these I reused some simpler textures I had made previously,then I made some 'mixing maps' in Paint Shop Pro and used TextureMaker's Multitexture tool to mix them up. Here's a simple mix map I made Then I used the light and bump tools and tweaked them in PSP. It is a cool tool and I thought of some more complex ways to generate cool textures but has to wait till I get more free time. You can even draw stuff in PSP and then move it into TextureMaker to use the bump and lighting tools to give more depth. It doesn't magically convert every texture into a masterpiece but sometimes it gives a great result in seconds that I would be dodging and burning and adding shadows by hand for a long time. Some people make nice textures entirely in TM but I am more use to PSP - been using it off and on for several years so it is the tool I am most comfortable with.

Very nice. I use PSP too, but I don't know how to make such fantasic textures. Ah, can you create some canyon wall textures?

I can't promise as I have several things running but I may be creating some for another project and if so will drop a few in here as well.

Those are beautiful. I especially like the earthy, wheathered look about them. I have not had a chance to use any of them yet. Do they tile?
