Complex Texturing

[bnewton81]

I've noticed in many of the player ages that almost all the textures are almost entirely uniform. Is there some reason that the textures don't seem to have any decals or the natural irregularities that are seen in the cavern and on most other games? Like, is there some reason they can't add that stuff? Just seemed odd to me that they spend so much time and effort on an age and then forget to add depth to their textures. Just wondering for my own age, which is still "en la cabesa" stage.

No. There's no reason you can't do this. It's just that most age builders are still learning techniques and don't spend the time to give the age the depth to really make it shine as well as others. But all the things necessary to give the textures depth and randomness are there. There's a few tutorials on the wiki that cover things like blending of materials and decals etc. I'd suggest checking them out if you're interested in giving more depth and life to your age. Texturing Just scroll down to texturing and check out what's there. There's a few things not covered. Giving objects like books and pedestals shadows etc. But it's all fairly simple and straight forward. Good luck

Oh, thanks. I should have looked there before asking i guess, but i'm not big on reading directions I'll give that a read though. I didn't know there was that much info in the tut.
