    Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

    I tried my hand at this today: Coal: Based on: Galena, primary components are lead and sulphur but it is a commercial source of silver (made up of around 2% silver): Based on the gray stuff: Cassiterite the primary source of Tin! based on this image, which contains a discrete quartz vein...

    Granted, we did tweak it for years but that was also years ago :)

    Westeroscraft Texture Pack Megathread

    Hey hey :D The biome colormaps you pulled up are the result of years of careful tweaking not exactly a new frontier at least for Emote and I. They are a powerful resource but developing them is tedious since fine grained changes can mess up a region big time, and, because you don’t see changes...

    Thamus' Texture Treasure Trove

    Another update! - adds alt block for the Stormlands TS - adjusts the overlay blending between the sets - adds biome shading for the Dorne TS and the Red Mountains TS - adds a moss block prototype Known bugs: The overlay from the Stormlands TS is shaded which gives that an orange tinge. Will fix...

    I've played around with mixing some of these sets. Please do the same ;) :

    For dry blanket moss like that, I want to add an all moss block! That way you get to chose where the moss grows on the rock and we get to keep a dedicated river rock texture or open the slot for an additional alt set?

    It's supposed to be this submerged or wet, slippery rock around creeks and rivers. So there's some slime and moss growing on it. It was never meant as a large scale cliff or dry boulder texture. Hence, I put it on the River Rock terrainset.

    No, I haven't but I think I will put that on hold until the situation has been worked out. I tried to go back to the old forum to figure out the thought process behind the use of brown stone but far as I can tell there isn't a canonical, historic-cultural, or natural reason why they are that...

    TerrainSet Stair/Slab/Wall/Fence Variants

    I don’t think adding block to specifically improve transitions isn’t too necessary. The latest batch is designed so that we get the following network of smooth transitions out of the box: [Westerlands, Reach] > Eyrie > Eastern > Iron > North > Lava Westerlands > Dorne > Red Mountains [Eastern...

    TerrainSet Stair/Slab/Wall/Fence Variants

    I'll take a closer look at this, and my process will roughly be this: - Assign the textures I have already made to visually similar rock-types from the map dutch posted - Make new textures for whatever I have missed, based on pictures of what that rock looks like on the surface in England (and...

    TerrainSet Stair/Slab/Wall/Fence Variants

    Geology makes my head spin. For me as a texture artist, I need to know what the object I need to represent looks like both on a macro level (cracks and fissures), micro level (patterning of the rock), and color. Alas, with rocks the color and micro level texture depend on a) Relative amount and...

    TerrainSet Stair/Slab/Wall/Fence Variants

    I totally agree! Dutch had a list of common rock types for types which I only partially and broadly cover with the textures I made. To live up to my own expectations I feel I need to rework them to match that list accurately. Unrelated, but just to clarify Karst is a specific type of limestone...

    TerrainSet Stair/Slab/Wall/Fence Variants

    About Stalagtites/ Stalagmites would it be OK if I tried my hand at a dedicated texture for that? I think it might look a bit better than using the terrain set slab/wall/stairs because solved and deposited limestone has a very different look to it than wind/weather-eroded exposed rock.

    I get your point about warmth. I disagree about adding more grain. Maybe Emote could isolate the terrainsets from my pack so you can see it alongside the common sandstone textures. For me doing that just for taking screens adds another level of context switching that I simply don’t have time for.

    Here's the latest ThamPack plus overlay, including the terrainset updates I was working on. The alt packs are on the vanilla stone blocks, for now, 1:1 to 1:4. Knock yourselves out! :) https://www.dropbox.com/s/qq5kve3y5646hx5/Overlay.zip?dl=0...

    Maybe we won't need to tweak the hues of the alt sets after all. From top to bottom: Red Mountain + Alt, Dorne/Arbor + Alt, Reach + Alt, Westerlands + Alt I uploaded my packs for you to check out here: http://forum.westeroscraft.com/threads/thamus-texture-treasure-trove.1534/post-14785

    ... Stormlands Sandstone: Current: Overhaul: Hey @Kor_Bro, while the river rock definitely looks better now at Felwood, I'd beseech you to use the Stormlands sandstone there pending the overhauled version to be implemented. Like I've done with the mussels in the ocean terrain set, I was...
