like random speculars appearing on other textures? (trapdoor on grass, etc?)

thanks wait till you see the new night sky! it's still wip, but much improved imo.

I'm still tweaking the lighting... about to test out a false shadow effect and see how close I can get with it. (with a lightmap....not shaders..and without losing too many colors.) I still feel like the nights are too bright, but I don't want to overdo it... creepers in dark caves freak me out. lol




edit: and an update on the compression..... 3 files to go... portal, and both water animations.... looks like it's gonna be closer to 15mb saved.

I'll compress the 64x before I update it too... gonna polish it as much as I can before putting it on curse.

256x is down to 140mb.... gonna get some stuff finished up today and compress the files i am working on... I'll try to have the update posted everywhere tonight or tomorrow morning. some asshole backed into me in a grocery parking lot earlier, back hurts.... so I'm not too keen on sitting in my captains chair much right now.....



edit: the new light maps.... I'm done with them... they are exactly what i was reaching for. shadows without shaders, darker nights, better brightness blending.... word.


edit2: day and night on a world of badass house models I found on pmc. (with new lightmap)

put the new version test up on the main link...256x only for now... my back really hurts... I'll get the 64x done asap.

one more... since the first didn't really show it off... shadows without shaders.

cool beans... gonna have to work out a place for it when I redo my op. working on a new banner for the top and for my sig, something closer to my new splash screen. I may have to shrink it a bit to fit... but I'm definitely going to do as I suggested and post it on my op. did you happen to run the idea by the TAU? (I'm slacking...haven't checked it today) edit: just suggested it in TAU thread

@everyone not in that conversation: I am 100% behind Gamex101 and his new mod support logo's on the TPC.... I suggested we try to make them standard somehow for people to instantly recognize what extras our packs may offer without a prior visit to the TPC, and in a way that links to it, to help our fellow artists get more exposure. Not to mention a way to try and build TPC back up to the massive archive it once was.

playing around with ore blocks.... here are the initial drafts.


and the start of my showcase world

that is freaking weird.... a couple others have reported it too... on optifine and mcpatcher threads... someone reported it on the glsl thread too... no idea what is causing it.

played tenor sax...and was a choir geek...

if I find a solution I'll let ya know.

@everyone else: anyone know a good trick to make gold look more...umm...polished?

more playing with ore blocks... other than tweaking the bump/spec... emerald is done. thinking about calling the iron done too. I still need to make the gold polished and shiny, but I cleaned it up some more. Lapis is done now. and I'm about to redo the diamond yet again.

first two are lapis... one with the normal made from the texture, and the second is done with a proper height map. Last one is the Iron I'm thinking about keeping.

making another attempt at the iron with ctm.... gonna have to figure out how to make it work as a single block though.....

lol... then it's what I was going for exactly!

and I know... I have a ton of sketches for flowers and stuff I have yet to convert.

ok... iron question.... ctm or non ctm iron?


or maybe suggestions on how I should go about it?
