I've completely redone cobblestone and stone bricks. I'm quite proud of how the new versions turned out. The new versions are on the left, old on the right.

Very nice!

I can definetly see you advancing as an artist. Great job on deciding to go back and change something you've done before.

This pack looks great! Will download when it is released for 1.7

You're in luck! I just updated the pack for 1.7, with a few new added textures thrown in! I also did a major cleanup in the ctm folder, so that's good. Added a few new things to the thread as well, specifically a new imgur gallery with screenshots of the pack in-game. Pretty neat, if I do say so myself!

Download here or in the OP:


(I never did like that Curse widget. It's too inconsistent.)

TRAGEDY HAS STRUCK! As some of you know, I have a pretty crappy computer. When I was finishing up some of the new textures I was making today, I went to test them ingame, and the game wouldn't load! It didn't have enough memory to load all of the textures! Thing is, I've already given it all the memory that I can! So now, I've created this awesome CTM texture for cobblestone walls, and have no idea if it looks good ingame because I can't get Minecraft to load with my pack.

So if ANYONE can take any screenshots of the cobblestone walls [EDIT: With the CTM enabled] (or anything else, for that matter), PLEASE post them. I'll have to go without in-game testing for a while, which is bad, so I may not update at all for a very long time (a month, maybe?) while I deal with this computer situation.

I downloaded it and went into a creative world. I know it's a WIP btw. What's done is amazing. The only thing I want to ask is..Why is the diamond a rubber duck? lol

The diamond is a rubber duck because of reasons.

I took a screenshot of the walls for you

Oops! Looks like I forgot to mention: I'm looking for screenshots of the fancy new CTM I put onto the walls. I notice you're not using MCPatcher, so the walls use the regular old boring cobblestone texture, and that's no fun! I would definitely recommend installing MCPatcher, since it adds so much to the pack. You probably noticed a few things that are acting funny, like crafting tables. Those sorts of things need MCPatcher to work.

But thanks so much for the screenshot! It means a lot to see people actually using the pack. Sometimes it seems like I'm talking to myself here.

I've been working on a lot of the plants, including the large mushrooms, and the new 1.7 plants. Here's a look:







And I made some updates to the tools.



Am I aware that most of the people who ever read this thread are TAU members who have already seen all of this stuff? Yes.

I cant believe you only have 12 Reputation points for this! This is a VERY amazing Texture/ Resource Pack!!

Thanks! Yeah, it is kind of saddening how little response this pack has gained, especially after almost a whole year. I've seen other packs posted that get twice the popularity of mine, in only a week or two. Maybe it's because I've been hiding in the Texture Discussion/WIP Packs forum this entire time, I don't know. It's kind of demotivating to see packs posted that get the kind of downloads overnight that I get over a few months.

BUT! I stitched together an old-timey terrain.png out of what I've got, and there's only 5 or 6 textures left to do! Won't be long now, and we'll be out of the WIP stage, into a full release! CAN'T WAIT!

One word.... Fancy

UPDAAAAAATE

I've done FONT I took all day, but here it is:That's just the stuff that's on a standard American keyboard. I wasn't able to get Inkscape to recognize the other characters, so full unicode support will have to wait (sorry, Scandinavians :/ ).

But more importantly, I've decided to change this resource pack's name from Samohtj's Fancy Shmancy to Illustrious. I think it was necessary, and would like to know what others think. I've put up a poll that you can vote in.

There might be a few random new textures here and there, but nothing major. There's probably a VERY WIP podzol texture in there.

I just checked the Curse page, and Illustrious has finally passed 10,000 downloads! WE'RE IN THE QUINTUPLE DIGITS! Thank to everyone who's downloaded. I'll have the rest of the font finished over the weekend, and I'll be finishing off the blocks over Christmas break, and we should be ready for a full release before the pack's first birthday in January.

I hate to bump twice in one day, but I added some stuff.

I put in some more font:



And I made a new Mojang Splash:

I've got some stuff done, and put it in. Work on the pack has been really slow the past few months, what with the holidays and all. But, I have managed to get some stuff done, and thought I would add it. On the list of things:

• Stained clay
• Cauldrons
• Flower pots
• Some GUI screens
• BOOKSHELVES

I'll maybe have a few more things to add in the next couple days, probably some more GUI screens. I've still got to do the new 1.7 woods, so I have that whole thing to look forward to.

I haven't been doing a whole lot lately, but I have finished the acacia trees and wood. And if you're like me, you absolutely hate seeing the default next to another pack. SO, here they are. The big oak should be up next pretty soon.
