DarkNemisis

DarkNemisis

heres another one

Comprox

Pretty good looking, although that nebula looks odly familiar from some tutorial I had found on rainword a while ago... <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo--> EDIT - Sorry, it just looks EXACTLY like the one the tutorial had, fluke I guess. And I can't find the link anymore, so I might as well shutup.
Also, why don't you make them by a power of 2? Thats what the engone works in. SO 64x64, 64x128, 128x128, up to 256.

DarkNemisis

Gwahir

ah yes power of two, it's how all my circuit designs must be implemented because of binary math:)

tRunKs

heh yea both of those can be found at wastedyouth.org i believe...

try thinkin up your own designs and what not... that makes art special, it's a reflection of yourself basically...

DarkNemisis

yeah, they both were at wasted youth, but my metal one with the blue goin through isnt, u wont find that nowhere but here <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

realityisdead

Very nice from both of you.

I hate to be the one to say it, but these are the Natural Selection Mapping forums... Not the Counter-Strike Skinning forums. A private message would have suited you fine there. Let's try and keep the focus in mind here.

If you want to share your modeling and skinning work, that's fine and dandy, but perhaps it would be better suited in the Artwork/Off-Topic forum, or via email/PM/ICQ.

How about some more nice map textures? I've got massive amounts of pipes in my level, so more textures along those lines are always welcome... <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

That sky is really cool, DN. Do you have it in a tiling format that people could use as an environment map? I'm sure some people would like to get their hands on it for that purpose.

DarkNemisis

im new to texutreing, so u mean make it so it can repeat right? how bout i just add a black border to it. will that work?

bigwillc

wait u mean like a tiling sky?

DarkNemisis

yeah i think. im no texture artist, i skin, but im learning textures fast <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Moleculor

A black border around it would make it look like bunches of black boxes with a texture inside. Making it tile means that the left blends to the right, the right blends to the left, and the top and bottom blend as well. Basically, if you can take your image, and put eight copies of it around itself and it still looks good, you've got it tiled.

DarkNemisis

ok

realityisdead

Ah, right. I should have made myself more clear. Sorry.

What I meant was 6 seperate images that blend nicely together with each other that would be used as a "sky" in the engine. Take a look in your Half-Life/valve/gfx/env/ folder to see what I mean.

I've tried my hand at that, but it's kinda frustrating getting everything to line up. Might be something to look into though.

DarkNemisis

couldnt u just make it strech across the whole sky? (the one image that is) i mena it is a 256x256

bigwillc

whew that looks really difficult

it seems like the 6 images are supposed to 'wrap around' the sky.. and my texture experience just cannot replicate the quality of those in your gfx folder.. dam those are great  <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

DarkNemisis

hmmm, instead of that just make regular stars for the rest of the 3 o nthe map and one with the nebula and maybe one wit hthe eclipse? <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->

Moleculor

Well sure you could Dark, but the sky is made up of the inside of a box. It has six sides. Each side has to be textured. The one you gave with the nebula could be the top, but you'd need other nebula stuff to blend together with the top for the sides too. Bottom as well.
