Well I don't have a tutorial but I found the best way to learn how to make a texture pack is to have a look at a whole bunch of packs textures up close in paint.net or something. It can also provide inspiration.
This link here is a very good tutorial and I used these techniques when making my latest cobble texture (which in my opinion, looks awesome :smile.gif:)
Anyways, I'm glad you like the pack! It's people like you that are the reason I continue to make it. (and it's quite fun, but yea, beside the point...) If I do ever make a tutorial I shall post a link here in this thread and keep a link up in the OP so it's easy to find. No promises though because maintaining this pack AND my other pack which has been very neglected as of late, it a lot of work.
Thanks again!
Expressing my thanks is the least I can do for the amount of work you put in. I haven't had a chance to give the link you gave me a good looking-at, but if it resulted in your newest cobblestone texture it must be good. Thanks again, mate.
tallyaka gave me permission to continue Yakacraft on his thread. I can't right now, but his presence isn't gone yet. :biggrin.gif:
Out of nowhere, I've had the idea to suggest a whimsical version of your pack.
And Google says:
whim·si·cal /ˈ(h)wimzikəl/Adjective
1. Playfully quaint or fanciful, esp. in an appealing and amusing way. 2. Acting or behaving in a capricious manner.
How would that be?
That's actually an awesome idea!
Only problem is I'm having some trouble imagining the textures.... Oh well, good things come to those who wait! :biggrin.gif:
Sheep,
Your update really amazes me! The glowstone is awesome and I'm loving the new diamonds!
However, when you do get around to making the customizer, can you include some of your old textures? I don't mean to offend or sound greedy so please don't get mad. I really liked the old diamond, iron ingot, and gold ingot. I think they were from the Beta 1.5 update (or maybe it was 1.4). So if you have the chance, can you add those to the customizer? Thanks. :smile.gif:
Thanks! Yea, I will be including the old textures in it as well :smile.gif:
Yea Ikr?
That's cool. Since I know my PC will be here soon, once I set the beggar up and have a new Minecraft (which actually works, I've avoided it just before your update given each time I load it 'IMF.EXE' crashes and makes minecraft **** up).
IF I know anyone can do my skin it'll be you. I fell in love with your zombie design <3
EditEdit: LOVE the lil Aether cabin you got going! I got to makes me one now to beat yours. EPIICCRAFT VS SHEEP! WHO WILL WIN?!
>:3
BRING IT FOOL! MY CABIN WILL BLOW YOURS OUT OF THE WATER!

Just posting I gave you a mention in my Pilot video (Basically while we're waiting for my PC EpiicCraft is doing skylands for the sheer hell of things while we build stuff up). Basically said I love you for your pack as well > w<!
Going to be building tommorow so I will give my buddies your different packs (I'll use the customised one if it's done by then, otherwise fantasy). I be loving on your work! Hopefully I will have to grab you for an interview and that means you'll also get a free little monument on our server (: !
Anyway, bed time for me! SPENT ALL NIGHT FILMING NOW ITS 8am!! XD
Well I don't have a mike for my computer atm because my old one broke but hopefully I can get a new one soon!
The vids sound awesome by the way, look forwards to seeing them!
Oh and yea, sleep is probably a good idea... Have fun sleeping in daylight... :biggrin.gif:
I began building. Got a bridge to my Aether Portal (Since the fffff-ing game spawned it in mid fff-ing air D<) and I got my cabin started (using angel stone and hell stone). for now it looks like it'll be a real tiny home in comparison to most builds up it has a little water moat > w<
Sounds awesome!
Mine's a smaller house as well but it's on my own private island (pretty small but about 3 times the size of my house) and a bridge going to the main island near me. I can always renovate it if I feel too cramped!
This is very nice. I especially like the blue torches, and the ores look especially good from what I can tell, in the fantasy variant. (I'm picky about ores in texture packs, some of them just don't look as good.)
Lovely, and very fresh looking. Might just use this one. ^-^

Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular?

Why thank you!
I'm glad you like the pack and *hopefully* use it!
Was finishing up the first floor and placing beds, accidentally clicked to enter one
BOOM
lost the side of my house B|
EDIT: Hey sheep would it be cool with you if I was a bit sneaky and used your textures as a base for my new pack? Obviously I WILL change them quite a bit (style + colors). I will ofc give credit to you. The pack forum link is : http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/512977-wip-aeris-neon-pack-coming-soon/
REDIT: Nvm sheep. I'm finding it hard to make a decent 16x16 which is bright. So decided to go UBBBBBBEEEEEEEERRRRRRRR simple to make it more of a Tron feel. When I get mine done we could collab to make a super bright neon pack for 16x16 which is almost 32x32?
Hmmmm, don't you just loooooooooooooove beds!
I did the exact same thing, although luckily it was in a small cave while I was exploring...
I'll have a look at the pack now, as for the collab, won't be able to for a while because I have so much stuff I need to work on! I just agreed to help out some people in continuing Doku's texture pack so yea....
The new update is looking good so far, and I NEED to try out the aether mod!
still havn't seen any super secret 32x textures......
:L
[Edit] Can't be bothered to get the Aether mod...It'll change a bit too much! :L
Heh, hope you had fun! :smile.gif:
Super secret 32x has been put on hold for a little bit, I need to concentrate on this, Nagareru, and help make some textures for doku's continuation pack (since he's left)
Aether mod is tonnes of fun though... :tongue.gif:
Just sayin', so is millenaire too. They built me a house!
I am contemplating editing dokus textures.
Then I could ALOS send them to Wessex to add them to the doku customizer.
You are well known, for a gorgeous looking 16x pack.
Yes you could, and I just don't feel that well known if you know what I mean...
I should test by just popping into a random thread and seeing if people recognise me, but that might count as spamming....
I used to love that village mod, But it lagged like hell! Also I will download the Aether mod, but I might just put it on hold for a little longer until every single bug is worked on!
And Ssheep...How are you not well known!
Oh and I put making textures on hold for a second because I need Ideas for Wool...I don't want it to be the same boring old coloured wool blocks, What should I do!
Yea, I had to install optifog+optimine to run it without lagspikes, but now it runs very very smoothly. Plus the extra video settings in optimine+optifog make the game look better too!
As for the wool, make them other textures such as alternate bricks, large cobble slabs, random pretty blocks, etc. Check Nagareru in my sig for ideas. I changed the wool blocks into things like different coloured plaster, bricks, logs and things like that.
In other news, I just got an awesome new suit and bow tie! Awesome! :biggrin.gif:
Oh and I just finished doing all the ores for my pack ....then my laptop turned itself off...I didn't save -.-
Bowties are cool! :biggrin.gif:
That really sucks though... I had the same thing happen to me once, lost a fair few textures... I took a rather long break of just playing minecraft... Helped a fair bit!
Sucks that it was the ores though, they're some of the most annoying textures to do... Especially to get them to look great!
In other news guys, I made ANOTHER tall grass texture, but this is the final version. It's clean, looks good in clusters and by itself. Very happy with it! I also made a new sidegrass for default. It actually looks good now! (really didn't like the old one :tongue.gif:)
I'll try to get some pictures up in just a bit.
Also, I'm going to switch between making two texture packs, my current one, and a 32x one where every block is going to be used for decoration purposes!
Awesome!
Just don't get too overloaded with work, it ain't fun! :tongue.gif:
I'm taking it nice and slow :wink.gif: I think it will probably be released after the 1.8 update, then I have time to texture the new things and modify what I already have!
Ahhh sounds good. Plenty of time to make textures then! I'm gonna try and finish the mobs before 1.8. That way I won't have many to do when it comes out! :smile.gif:

Well you should take some pictures of your house when you're done, I'll do the same!
Wow, nice photo! :biggrin.gif:
It makes me want to change the side grass on the default variant pack though. It's fairly ugly at the moment...

Curse PremiumMaybe you should make a texture pack?
You could use doku's textures as a base for it as well!
Oh and PS: Neither am I... Even with this pack and Nagareru...
Then I could ALOS send them to Wessex to add them to the doku customizer.
You are well known, for a gorgeous looking 16x pack.

SO as far as producing anything won't happen. xD
There is no way in all reality Light is hitting all 3 sides.
Reduce you glow on the text, or remove the glow, and add a dropshadow.
Only add lighting to one side.
I could also read that small, grey. crossed out text.
Lol, 3 way light source.
Would only happen in an abnormal place or a studio, doesn't look natural.
Just add lighting to the frontmost face.
