Land / Sea Fill Textures

[Redrobes]

:Edit: These useful plan views of trees taken from This Thread.

I talked to the boss at the Water Board, I think there's a difference between the altitude for a photo of a 5 mile wide lake and and 15 ft wide tree. They are all just specks of green.

Definitely, I have had a few friends and the odd family member do a hot air balloon flight. I tell them with fervent pleading to take some photos straight down. They take off from a field and pass over the odd tree maybe but you quickly gain enough height that the photos merge to a green cloth. Also the shots must be vertical straight down. You cant fix up angled pics. Ill post what I have, some are workable but less so that you might initially think. These are my best I have and I dont think they are good enough as they lack detail. I reckon the RC plane or the kite would be best with the right kind of altitude.

Edit: The last one is a bit surreal. If nothing else it gives great reference material for anyone wanting to draw trees from above ! These were taken April 2007 and whilst very grateful to the family member for trying with these I cant make a single tree icon out of them. As a texture it might work. Might have to push number two through the seamless tex creator script over in the tut section.

Edit 2: Added seamless tile of image 2

I don't know how I missed this thread for so long! Anyway, here's a few textures that are (almost!) seamless. It was my first show at it which explains the slight edges on the shadows. Anyway, here they are:





... and a water texture:

Those trees are AWESOME@!@!@!@!@@!

The tree images were taken from rpgmapshare and then used to build up the tilable texture. I can't take credit for the tree images themselves.

Here is a seamless tiling grass fill texture. To use it, put it on a layer on top of a flat fill with the colour of your choice and then set the grass layer blend mode to hard light. You will (depending on your underlayer colour) get something that looks like the second image.
