The actual textures are 32x128 to make them more practical in my glory corridor, but I scaled these up for a better guage of what they look like. Thoughts?

Oh yeah, if you like them, take them. <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo--> Just credit me. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Got a couple in-game shots of mine in action:

Wow KFS! They look perfect in that scene! Great work!

KungFuSquirrel

If only I could do textures from scratch... <!--emo&:p--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'><!--endemo-->

Tzarcon

oooo goodie more textures

Good work KFS

Black_Wolf

could someone wad these for me =D

Gonnas

Please don't kill me, but I actually prefer the original textures in those shots. The new textures you made are good, don't get me wrong, but they just don't appear to fit in that corridor. The corridor is very industrial and grungy with steam leaking from pipes and metal everywhere, and having clean pink pillars in there just doesn't seem right. Also, with the dirty industrial setting and the intensity of the red light, you get a very tense and seemingly dangerous atmosphere, which cuddly pink ruins.

Just my opinion.

shoven

Pink?
/me double-checks
I see no pink.
Fam that rocks.
KFS, you rock.
Edit: wait, I see what you're talking about. Either way, I get a better vibe from this corridor in general with these new textures.

Fam

Just wait. I promise you. <!--emo&;)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'><!--endemo-->

Shuvit_Viper

..how do you guys DO that stuff?

Fam

Practice, practice and a bit more practice. Some people even have some artistic ability, but for me its most definately practice.

KungFuSquirrel

Fam has put together a couple more in this theme, and in addition to Merk's light texture with overlay, we now have about 8-9 new textures in this theme. I re-named them in order to fit the NS naming convention, and I will get a .wad posted here when we decide that we're done. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo--> If anyone else has any textures in this theme, let me know and I'll get it included with the .wad file.

Also, I'll double-check with Merk that he doesn't mind me tossing around his light texture. <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->

I'm with Gonnas. The old ones definitely looked better in my eyes. Like he said, it's not the textures, but rather is their placement. They just don't work there... <!--emo&???--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'><!--endemo-->

I liked the glory for its smooth industrial feel. And the fact that it really did feel like a "Glory Corridor." The Level 5 alien feel. It's lost that feel with the new textures.

Just my opinion, take it for that.

KungFuSquirrel

This is actually what I envisioned of Eclipse all along. And finally, I've got it looking like it was supposed to from the start. I don't plan on reverting the textures, but I also don't plan on having the entire map this clean.

Trane

I see what you guys are talking about with the grunge feel in KFS's shots, but the old textures were just way too crappy.  Maybe you could dirty up the new textures, cause that would probably make it perfect, just an idea.

Take 'em if ya want 'em... was bored this morning.

You mind if I include these with that .wad? heh... Nice... <!--emo&:)--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'><!--endemo-->
One thing I've noticed is that light_strip* textures are quite nice with a soft blur effect. If you've seen the use of light_stripred in any of my Eclipse shots, it has that applied, as does my use of an overlay on light_strip1 that I've started using for a bit more variation.



<!--EDIT|KungFuSquirrel|May 30 2002,12:24-->

Plaguebearer

By all means, go ahead and include them... like I said, take 'em if ya want 'em <!--emo&:D--><img src="http://www.natural-selection.org/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'><!--endemo-->  Just wasn't in the mood for either modelling or mapping this morning.

What I =really= shoulda been doing is finishing filling these applications out...

KungFuSquirrel

I've gotten a couple more submissions from Fam, including another few walls and a rather nice floor texture. Should have this .wad file ready by tomorrow.
