how did you get those really nice texture edges? is there another texture used between the 2 main ones?

Not quite as pretty as what's been posted previously, but I do think that it's nice looking. I'm really curious how you got that really cool texture transition eTcetRa, It looks great.


Also, Sien, Great use of the Xil trees as coral.

I am using only three textures in those images:

Agria Concrete
Aiur Grass
Aiur Grunge


The texture Aiur Grunge has very defined lines on it which you can use to create edging for other texutres like I did the concrete. The lines aren't as consistent as other textures which gives it a softer look in places, as though the "grungey dirt" has risen over the concrete in places.

I can make guides for some more advanced texturing techniques i've used in maps like Genesis aswell, if some people were interested.

I suspected that was what you did. You can actually do something similar with Niflheim Smooth Ice, to make it look like something is frosting over on the edges. This works even better if you add a soft edge of Niflheim Ice Frosty, which blends with the ice, but gives it a nice accent, the end result being sorta like what you've done. I don't have an image though, I scrapped the map where I did that, but anyone who's got their hands on the tileset is free to give it a go.

edit: in fact, you might be able to mesh the Smooth Ice with the Aiur Grunge, and have them be sort of interwoven, giving a sort of slushy look. awesome idea, wish I thought of it :p

Make cliff, texture it, texture below, then, make the whole thing flat, becomes something like this, if you do it right.

edit: it's actually not quite as same, but maybe if you blur the textures, it might work?

I'll wait for etcetra's guide though.

here is an excellent guide by Koagel that describes some of these texturing techniques very well:

Must be some thick Ice to support a Battlecruiser.

But really, it looks great, job well done.

It's still in the works obviously, so the finished product will have more detail/awesome in it, but there it is.

Yeah I noticed that. I can't see what's wrong with the code, I suspect there might be a limit to how many pictures a post can contain, but I really don't know.
