(LARGER NOTE: See my last post for improved suggested textures. If you did see them, please say so in your post, or else I won't know if you saw the right one...)
(Note: While voting is appreciated, commentary is appreciated MUCH more, kupo!)
So, while the whole wait for 1.8 was going on, I decided to make start some comprehensive changes in my pack, starting with one of the biggest aspects: stone based textures.
[First, smooth stone]
former (darker than this in current ver.):
suggested:
[Cobble, the biggest change]
former:
these 3 are suggested: (1), (2), (3)
[Ores, also very dramatic turn of events]
former (only iron ore given for my convenience, others are very similar)
suggested (lapis was created, forgot to put in test pack...but you'll get the idea)
EDIT: these also include the suggested smooth stone
Here are some screens of the cobble ingame (these are the ones I want commentary on most)
Current ver.
Suggested no. 1
Suggested no. 2
Suggested no. 3
Now please provide any commentary that you see fit to provide, just remember that I'll be better able to respond to more specific posts than just "dey louk cool". So, thanks in advance, community!
The suggested ores are a bit blurry and ill-defined.
Really? Well, I didn't think they were but I guess I can work on definition some more...I thought that since they take up most of the stone space they'd be pretty well defined, but....OK.
A slight change to formatting and title....perhaps there was confusion/a misleading statement? These are just suggestions for me to add to my current TP (in my sig), not stand-alones. Hopefully more people will comment, I really want to have these be the best they can...
I prefer the third type of cobblestone when it is untiled, although when its tiled, you can see a thin line of cobble, which looks bad to me, so I chose 2.
Fair enough, and I appreciate your input. Can you explain why you didn't like the ores though?(at least, according to your vote you didn't like them)
The ores do not look like part of the stone, I think they need to be eased into it around the sides so it looks like its within the rock, not edited ontop of it.
So one person tells me it's too bold (you), and another says not enough. I can see your point more, so I'm gonna go with that. It makes more sense. Still need a higher volume of commentary though, so far only two users have posted and there's a crapload of guests.
Oh well, at least we aren't wasting time to all comment on the troll post so it stays at the top of the stack forever...
[Was that last bit too sarcastic? Perhaps...]
Yea the new ores you've put together kinda look just that way, put together. Truth be told I had the same issue, where they kinda look on the stone as opposed to in the stone. On the other hand, all of the cobble stones look nice, but I prefer the 2nd example myself.
What I recommend for the ores is to sort of 'sink' them into the stone, by simply adding shading around them to make an illusion of depth.
Otherwise great job on these textures, as usual :biggrin.gif:

I just had another look at the ores, and to me it seems that its only really Diamond and Redstone that need to be fixed. Although some of the lighting on the iron Ore could do with a little work.
Thank you both, that's much more helpful. I'll try to implement those changes right away. And nice to have you onboard, Rayziik.
An unrelated interesting fact.....My computer just went BSOD a couple minutes ago. #$%&^!!
But it's fine now.
OK, so I took Rayziik's and Dr_Pootis's suggestions, felt sorta stuck but did the best I could to make the ores blend in more with the stone. So here's an updated screenshot of:
1.) All the ores from the terrain file (enlarged to 200% for analysis)
2.) The ores ingame (added the missing lapis ore)
3.) Smooth stone, cobble, and the portal animation (comment on this too, if you like).
Oh, come on, is NOBODY going to comment? Nobody is even looking... Why so cruel, thou heartless demon who calls itself 'angel'? Shall you stare and remain silent without responding to my advances?
Someone please reply....please? Anyone? I don't wanna troll my own thread, here....I just want feedback. If you can spend 5 min. to bash 'simple' packs, can't you give me a fighting chance?
Cobble #1: with the new stone brick it would be bad to stray to close to brick with the cobble.
The ore looks great. At first I wanted to say that you should embed it then I saw the screenshot :biggrin.gif:
Thank you for the feedback. You have no idea how glad it is to get a reply, finally. I was leaning towards cobble 2 by now, but I'll give it further consideration before the next ver. Which will hopefully happen by 12:00a.
So then I'm just going to update now and not wait forever for more feedback. I've decided to keep the new stone and go with cobble no. 2. Number 1 and 3 will be alternates both in the zip and on the customizer site. And the updated suggested ores will be included as well. Thanks for the help, to those who contributed. (unless someone is going to pop in at the last minute, then I'll be like, "wow......")

If you helped anyone, I will +1 your post, especially if the person you helped didn't.

Nothing else to say?
Anything....?

I hope these are more to everyone's satisfation.
EDIT: seriously, the same 15 people have been looking at that **** for a half hour....I wish you could hear me cursing.
