I love the shiny effect, also I see you tried to do a fake ambient occlusion with the top stud texture right? It looks nice, also I would recommend making pictures to compare them with the original textures.
there's some comparison pics in the old thread, except for the bottom textures which didn't exist back then and have comparison pics in this thread. i'd make new ones but i'm lazy and i didn't want to flood the op with redundant pictures

glad you guys like it :D

Add-Ons / Cakey's Brick Textures - The update nobody asked for

~ Rose the Floran



Hey all, I've come back to revive my old topic with an update to my brick textures.

If you didn't see the old topic, I made some brick textures for personal use, despite the fact that making custom brick textures is a bit of a dying art form. I thought they looked alright and I saw no harm in releasing them, so I did, and here I am doing it again.

First things first, I've modified the stud texture to look similar to Zapk's. My stud is shown below:



I've done a similar thing to the side textures, but I've also made it so they reflect sunlight the way the studs do, making them look even more plastic:



Since tastes differ, some won't like that change, so I've added an alternate texture in the download under a folder called "No shine," which is more faithful to the way that the default side textures behave under direct sunlight:



Now for the new stuff. I've gotten around to making my own bottom textures, though the "edges" are only very subtly different from the default textures.

If you spend a lot of time looking at ceilings, as I have today, you'll have noticed that in the default textures, the outer region of bricks' bottoms is noticeably darker than the center:



I wasn't a fan of this, so I did my best to make the bottom of the brick blend better with everything else:



However, you may notice a tiny but sharp dividing line where the change was made between the edge and the center. It's a bit easier to notice ingame. Since I'm admittedly pretty inept at image editing I don't know how to fix it, but anybody has my blessing if they want to modify the textures to try and do so.

If you don't like the change, I'd just keep the default bottom textures, since the other changes I've made to them are extremely subtle anyway.



Download

Installation
Place the desired textures in Blockland\base\data\shapes and make sure they're set to Read Only.

Uninstallation
For Steam users: Delete the textures and verify your game's cache.
For non-Steam users: Uncheck Read Only on the textures.



Let me know what you think, and again, feel free to modify the textures if you feel like!

actually makes smooth shading look good unlike crooked squideey's smudge studs
good textures but im not liking those outlines between studs
yeah i always thought his textures weren't as good as his older sharper ones, especially since v21 made em obsolete

i appreciate the feedback, if you could find zapk's stud somewhere (i think there's an environment addon or something somewhere you could grab it from) you could prolly use it interchangeably with my brickside and get a similar look without the outlines (or maybe not cause i haven't looked that closely at zapk's so idk)

hmmmmmm havent seen some decent textures in a long time
Since there are not bottom textures would it just resort to the default texture?
the .zip only includes brickside and bricktop, i haven't modified anything else

i'll prolly make new bottom textures at some point tho


glad you guys like it :D

I'm liking what I'm seeing, but can we get a side by side comparison of the difference between default and this?
these pics were a bit rushed but hopefully you're familiar enough with the default textures to get the gist

ok i know making custom brick textures is kind of a dying art but i made these for myself and they're kinda ok so i see no harm in releasing them

they're inspired by zapk's




but get this stuff

i made the side textures really reflective so they look even more plastic





but if you don't like that i've added a "no shine" version in the .zip file, which looks like this:




same pics with default textures for comparison:






download
yeet

installation
put the brickTOP.png and brickSIDE.png of your choice in blockland\base\data\shapes and make sure they're read only

uninstallation
turn off read only on brickTOP.png and brickSIDE.png


lemme know if you like them, i'd love to see screenshots if you feel like

also i might do the bottom textures

Help / does anyone have a link to any of the fixed brick textures?
« on: December 29, 2017, 07:26:36 PM »
/title

When I say fixed, I mean made to work properly with Blockland's shaders like the default ones do, for example Zapk's. I searched around both the forums and Google and any links I find are dead.

I did find this topic, which has a version of the 125% stud that's been fixed, but not much else. Any link in the old brick texture selector add-on thread that it points you to is dead, and I'm not good enough with image editors to make my own.

In particular, I'm looking for Zapk's textures and those old v0002 LEGO textures for the studs and bottom. Can anyone help me out or are custom brick textures becoming a lost art?
