How could you possibly want textures to be smaller? The bigger they are, the higher quality they'll be if someone wants them to be on a large surface. And if someone wants them on a small surface, they resize them.

I'd rather have them small and tileable. You can always extend an 128x128 texture which is tileable to 512x512 and still use it as overlay or something.

Deci is correct, camo textures are very difficult to have look like camo and still look good on units - for the simple fact that we have team-colour in the spring engine.

In general they work well on small units nobody is investigating anyway!

So, infact if some people like them big, others small and tileable, would not a large AND tilaable suit everyone?

(Yhe, mine tiles)

Actually a tileable vector graphic would be perfect :)

It does tile? Didn't look like it would...

Proof...

Dam Im good... (PS But I found you should tile it befor you shrink it.... else shrinking adds those stupid fuzzy edges.)

Yeah just noticed that... made a tileable something... I call it overuse of built-in PS effects but I'm too ashamed to post it (because I spent way too much time on it for the craplike outcome). But it tiles...

If you want a decent tilaable texture, just keep ofsetting your image... it works realy well.

I was halving or quartering my pieces and placed them at the top/bottom or the edges... it simply looks like crap because I was lazy and used effects instead of drawing the detail :P

The easiest way to create a tileable texture is to use the offset filter. Filters->Other->Offset. Set the horizontal and verticle to 1/2 of that of your image. I was amazed at how much time I had wasted making tileable textures before I found that plug-in.

Same here...

You still need to get rid of edges but it's a lot easier now... thanks.

Not much of a camo pattern

I'll try something simple now without overusing brushes.

I find it helps to constantly offset it by or so every few moves... this way you can see the repetisons coming befor its to late.

I did that. Actually I blended two different offsets into each other... man that function rocks. I think that texture can be used as shell/skin texture for someting alive...

Yay for Wehrmacht AMBUSH camo...

Looks like ketchup and mustard :)

The verticle zig zag thing seems a little obvious in tile, and of course anyone is free to mess with whatever I put up if you think you could use it in any way

SwiftSpear · Post by **SwiftSpear** » 27 Sep 2006, 23:53

Most of these look right, but for the few that missed it, it would be REALLY nice if your textures tiled.
