Well, I textured decently again. I don't know how, it just kind of happened. Now I don't know what to do with the texture.

It's either going to be multi-color bricks, single-color bricks, or cobblestone/stone brick.

I like the grass and the golem a lot. The dirt and stone look a little regular for natural textures, but I am not sure if that's what you are going for. The colors go well together, but the stone looks very flat.




Your textures look great as always. I second the idea of a burning ember animation.


Current update on my pack:


Improved stone, added ores except coal (I got too frustrated with it). I tried to make the redstone, gold and iron tile well and still fit with the stone, and I am pretty happy with how it turned out.



Cobblestone, acacia and birch planks. I may brighten the birch up a bit, or give it more color variation. I am worried it's kinda boring, especially compared to the acacia. I am really happy with the cobblestone and don't plan to change it.

Thread has just averted a crash. Thread restored. Please let me know of any lingering issues with the OP you may find.


Anyway, I have an update almost ready that will fix chests, add most GUI, better vanilla glass, new signs, and other goodies. Will be updated when finished shortly.

Also of note: new video has been added to the opening post.

I'm kind of popping up out of nowhere (I've been lurking in Resource Packs for months, a bit shy about posting), but I have a quick question that's probably best answered here in the Union's thread. I asked it a long time ago but it looks like the forum might've been split up into Discussion/Help/WIP sections after that;

I'm working on a pack, not finished of course (~70-80 blocks), and shall soon be posting the thread for it. Would it belong more in Discussion or WIP packs (and certainly not the main section I suppose), do you think? It'd be the general spot for the pack, updates, any discussion, feedback, eventually a WIP download, etc.

I drop in and have a peek at the thread every so often and everyone here has such skill! Your textures are beautiful, and across everyone's different styles too. Just wanted to add that.

And... It's okay for a (currently) non-member to ask for input on a texture, right? I was just wondering about my cobblestone;

(do ignore that horrible grass. It was an old placeholder that since been replaced twice)

It's a bit rough, certainly in need of some tweaking, and I can see at least one thing that blatantly needs to be fixed -- there's a harsh line in there next to a faint tiling error -- but I'm just glad it tiles properly after what amounted to a whole lot of adjustments and re-paints. It was worth it to get the curve right though.

Well, your outlines don't always have to be one pixel thick. You can make them thicker, if you want, to make the dirt pieces more round and blobby and less jagged. This will also make the outlines themselves look smoother.

You might also want to try having bigger dirt pieces.

I tried my hand at 32x again, I made the stone stuff a while ago but I reworked them a bit.



Feedback?

Quote from Seradicus

So, with the Alpha Pack challenge, I've made a return to 32x textures. Pretty sure Minecraft was still in Beta last time I did this, so I'm surprised I did decent!

EDIT: Okay, I appreciate the rep, but seriously, I brought it over here to see if I could get some criticism. I'm planning on continuing this past the challenge, so it would be helpful.

I revised my 512x polished diorite.

Quote from SharkyGAMER

Notice how almost everyone who has offered critique has more than a thousand posts. I have over seven hundred. If you want your pack to be liked, add shading. I know its a work in progress but there are lots of tutorials, bucket filling is not going to make an attractive pack. Start off slowly, find a palette and follow a tutorial. Include lots of shading and try to make it look at least viably realistic. (I don't mean photo realistic). Then, when you've spent a long time and are really happy with a texture, go and post on a criticism thread and get critique. Don't post a thread here unless your texture pack is almost complete. Post in discussion. Only when you're really happy with everything should you post a thread.

Also, make sure to blend all the colors in to add shading. You should have a lot more than 2 colours per block.
