I have a Radeon... I feel your pain.

and yay... smooth + realistic is what I was aiming for

bwahaha.. yeah... I'm still working on that. it's horrid. can't find a good way to make it work. and noooooooo! I don't wanna do normal bricks! lol

aahhh... but all stone isn't brown.. most of it yes. thankfully with the stonecolor.png I can alter the range of colors it can be. I haven't quite nailed it yet, but I'm trying to make it have a natural range from browns to greys.

the stone bricks look good, and I stopped caring if anything in the pack followed the rules of the real world a long time ago...lol

( this is why the brown stone was gone for so long.. too many complaints.)

once everything is caught up to 1.3 I'll give those a mods a better look and see what I actually have to offer for them... I feel bad just leaving it to you with no idea what you've gotten yourself into...lol

so...playing around with attaching the different concrete textures( cobble,furnaces, bricks, etc) to the stonecolor.png... works pretty well. I have some fine tuning to do... but it fixes the weirdness of jungle temples. still working out a better moss texture though.


edit: I not only got a moss texture I can live with... I used the bevel from it to create a nice addition to the cobble textures... and they are all working pretty well so far with the color properties of the stone... still needs some tweaks, but I'm totally stoked about it!

ok...sooo...with a few more tweaks... this happened!


and this was really spur of the moment.... but I kinda dig it. (and that's where my first portal put me... on top of a ginormous fortress!)

do you have ctm turned on?


edit: hehe... added some lava to the netherrack.. finally... lol and some souls to the SS. the nether feels 100% more creepy now... especially with the red lighting.

whoohoo! dax confirmed he's working on the update for the shader mod... yay! we'll be back to the 3D goodness in no time! (now if only we could convince SonicEther to add bumpmapping to his shaders!)

Not trying to triple post... this one is valid.


Downloads updated to V2.04. Both resolutions. 64x has ctm support now. See the changelog on the op for the rest of the details.



edit: here's a shot of the test for ctm grass for V2.05 (and new grass texture!).. full ctm support is my focus for the next update right now.

you my friend are totally on my brainwave! lol I have a few ideas for it already...

not only can you do ctm textures for any block, but you can specify how it looks by what block it is next to, how many are together, etc... so I have a way to do a proper mossy texture that tiles perfectly with non mossy textures. It's gonna be a lot of work, but I want to make it where every block has a specific texture when joined to each different block type. (got some real nice test textures for stacked furnaces already)

check the info for artists in the mcpatcher op. or check out Misas' pack for all the different stuff you can accomplish with it. (she does some amazing things with hers!)

realized the dirt texture was broken... but in making the new grass, I made a new dirt too.. and a matching mycelium. And also finished the end texture. still not happy with the dirt... but it'll get there in time. (it looks waaay different with shaders... can't wait for them to be updated!!!)

updated 256x download to V2.05.. all the changes in the last few screenshots I posted in comments.

also got the Curse page back up for those of you who would prefer to use the Curse Client. (give it a few hours for approval)

nothing new today...put a poll up about the 64x.. not feeling too well, so I really didn't get anything done with the pack... tweaked the clouds a little.... worked a bit on the daytime skyboxes for better skies support.

I'm thinking now is a good time to slow back down to updating once a week, and take some time to actually play again...lol
