Hi,

yesterday I created some sci-fi textures (color, height and normal map). I will use them in one of our scheduled projects. But I think about creating a package for you. What do you think?

First some small pics (ingame with normalmaps applied, original textures have 1024 squared pixels):



And here is one with a more detailled color map (from our artist SFMAT4):



We would create more textures with much more details if needed. So please give some comments on what you are interested in.

I am interested in a texture pack multiple choice
	I would rather get fantasy or modern textures
	I am interested in a tutorial how to apply shader textures in Gamestudio or in Sphere
	I am interested in a commercial texture pack with 30-50 textures
	I am interested in a free texture pack with about 10 textures

it's kinda noticeable that u always used the same dirtmap...

thanks for the comment. I can exchange this very fast. I have every texture with layers in a GIMP file and can handle this. This was just my first test to find the best workflow to create textures with normal and height maps. I tested 3 methods:

1) creating textures from high poly models
2) painting textures in ZBrush
3) painting textures 2d in "The Gimp"

The first way took quite long. Second is an option that I will use for some of the future textures. The third option works best for most of the textures because it is fast and you can re-use layers very easily.

The textures look really good !!
But on the other hand, phil3d is right about always using the same dirtmap
Except that, they still are pro textures ^^

awesome. though i swore never to buy any texture packs, this is definitely one to get weak... and break this. depends on the price, surely.
free would be even cooler but 10 textures is too few. so maybe make it a teaser for the comm 50 tex model pack.

Thanks for the kind comments.

I added another preview screenshot to my first post.

I am a bit disappointed about the poll result. We cannot create a pack for 5 people with normal and height maps. This will lead to something about 150 textures (including heights and normals) and lots of hours of work.

But I will try to address game-developers from other game engines as well.

Frank

hammer...
this can't be a GIMP texture, or i will throw my mouse to the wall get turn towards the walls and cry. how'd you create it?

I think you mean the last pic from SFMAT4. He did it while following a texture tutorial. So it is indeed hand painted (while using some fotos as resource).

Stunning. Just that one word: stunning. Eventually even "amazing".

If you'd create a fantasy texture pack, I'd pay for that. In this would be the first texture pack ever, i'd pay for. After six years fo game development.

These textures look great. Thanks for showing.
