Does anyone have any good grass/mud/general landscape textures that they are willing to give to me? Thanks.

I think all the one's i have are copyrighted. I think i'm gonna buy a digi-cam to make my own :)

Doesn't matter i literally JUST found some pretty cool ones at This site

Clarly written at the bottom of that page :

These textures can't be used for comercial purposes in any way without explicit permission from the autor. The distribuition of any part of these material , in any platform, including another website, are prohibited.



Not much use for a game then, since the textures need to be distributed for the game to work.

Surely these people aren't serious? O.o

What the....???
Oh yes. I see. Oh well, back to the drawing board, or, more precisely, google...

???? What the hell use would that be to ANYONE??


Rob(Posted 2003) [#8]
oh you know, hotels, buffets, cafes etc :) it's stock photography (and overpriced!)

This place has some pretty good (and some pretty bad) free textures, and a lot of them are even tiled: http://www.noctua-graphics.de/

Practically all stock photography is overpriced. Digit gives away a few stock photos on it's cover cd most months, and you should see the crap that they reckon is £1,500 worth of stock photography ( 5 photos or something. )

On Topic : There is a definite lack of good game usable textures available on the net. I recall a couple of the Blitz users were gonna put together a cd or two, but I never heard anything more about it.


Ross C(Posted 2003) [#11]
I think Dave is still gonna release his texture pack on CD.

Grass and mud is quite easy to make, at least if you want it at distance, a bmp containing random green colours of different shades will look pretty much like grass. Anything where the details are too small to be spotted can be made this way. But if you want close distance grass, just take a camera, so far it seems to be the best way.

By the way, have worked a bit with some textures, and I think my wood generation is pretty good, but there is room for improvements, as always.

There was a free terrain texture pack released by VIS a while back.

Terrain Texture Pack
The package includes 83 terrain textures, 3 detail textures, and several materials to allow your structures and items to fit into the surrounding environment.

Everything included in the package is available for you to use in your project or Tribes II map, free of charge. Virtually Infinite Systems isn't asking anything in return. We're just paying back the GarageGames community for all of its contributions.
