Textures #40

Closed grompe closed 9 years ago

grompe commented 9 years ago

I think the mod needs better block and item textures. I could draw something nice. What do you think?

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

The textures definitely need help. I do software, not art. :) If you have ideas forward them on.

grompe commented 9 years ago

How's this for the Recycler?

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Active face? Looks real nice!

grompe commented 9 years ago

Made some more.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

So much better than what I have. Which is the forth from the the left?

grompe commented 9 years ago

It's front face for the Scrap Assessor =)

Hmm, "pile of rubble" block will be tricky to improve as it is rendered like wheat, not very convincing for rubble.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

I picked it because it was easy - it takes a 2D shape and kinda makes it 3D in the world. As mentioned I am not an artist. :) Ideally I was hoping for something that looked like a pile of rocks. If you could do something like that I can change how the thing is rendered.

EDIT: Scrap Accessor - the icon logic will need to be updated to take into account a face. Not a big deal - I do like the texture.

EDIT2: Another suggestion for the pile of rubble. I also thought of making it look like a cluster of stalagmites. I recall one of the biome mods having something like that.

Here's the textures: (temp link removed)

Machine block side, bottom and top are exactly the same as Thermal Expansion, so if possible, you could reuse TE textures instead of the copy.

I couldn't think anything better for the Composter than a block with holes.

Will have to think about the pile of rubble.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Thank you! I can't tell you how thrilled I am with you doing this. I will work on integrating today. I would like to get into the pack before I do a BETA release.

On the rubble, I did googling of stalagmites for Minecraft and it seems the prefer method for rendering is sapling (essentially an X). Don't interpret this as me being hung up on stalagmites. :)

grompe commented 9 years ago

Awesome. =)

Yes, indeed, a cross texture makes more sense for the rubble. Will see what I can do and test on saplings =)

grompe commented 9 years ago

Attempting with this texture:

I guess that's an improvement. Feel free to use if you like.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Yes, it looks better.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Should have all the textures as well as code changes to support (like the Jammed face on the recycler). Let me know what you think.

grompe commented 9 years ago

This looks great! Now I will enjoy playing this mod even more!

I noticed that Scrap Assessor has top texture of a crafting table. This might be confusing. Do you want it to have a specific top texture? Same goes for the Composter, which still has crate texture for top and bottom face. I can make some new top textures for those machines.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Composter I was thinking about having a top surface that looks like dirt or something similar. Scrap Assessor - not sure what would be a good top. I thought about having just the normal machine top, but it doesn't feel right. I imagine the Assessor as being something similar to a worktable.

grompe commented 9 years ago

It's not really a crafting table though, nothing is crafted there. How about this for Assessor top texture?

grompe commented 9 years ago

Composter top looking like dirt? Green and brown. Got it.

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

Those look good!

OreCruncher commented 9 years ago

I believe all the textures were updated, so I am going to close. Thanks Grom!
