Hello,
This time the request comes from us.
Making textures is hard, especially when you must have new ideas all the time.
So I thought of making a little thread for you ppl to come and draw some shapes, symbol, sign, elements or any material you\'d like to give us ideas.
You saw something cool once on a site, an armor, a jewel? give us the link.
You have a nice symbol in mind, draw it ;) We don\'t want something very polished but just some inspiration.
Perhaps a little part of your drawing will have a lot of special, perhaps the whole symbol.
You can also describe it, but will be hard.
Don\'t be too Science fiction in what you do.
If we use something from you, don\'t expect too much but perhaps some little things in game ;)
I let the place to your imagination, thanks for reading.

hmmm hope this wouldnt be 2 addresses now...
well this game (its kina known) got some nice items...but not in 3d :( well well hope u got some ideas from it
-
These are mostly cool weapons:
http://www.ingali.com/English/menu_swords.php (http://www.ingali.com/English/menu_swords.php)
also check out the daggers! *drools* :P
-
[Edit: I didn\'t wanna do this but certain people *cough* are forcing me to. :P I don\'t like it...]
(http://www.myimgs.com/data/moogie/crappysword.jpg)
Don\'t laugh, I can\'t draw swords... :(
-
Good job Xalthar
I love these swords and daggers
Great link!
Nothing like cold hard cash to weed out the stupid sword designs
-
nice try Xandir but I don\'t think Tibia\'s style of art is what we need. In my opinion clip-art is just as useful as that stuff. Look at the picture that Djag posted if you want to know about what we need ;)
Edit: although on further inspection - since it is a database it is somewhat useful... but try to find stuff with more detail - or at least bigger without the gameboy graphics
(Excusez-moi s\'il vous plait Djag; Je n\'ai pas voulu voler leurs ideas, mais je voudrais les utiliser aussi.)
-
I think the idea is possibly seeing some original stuff, not things found in another games, since we will not copy them. Think about the possibility of having something you designed being included ingame, and start using your pencils ;-)
-
what do u guys mean with an icon? an icon for what. for a spell for a pub that\'s going to be ingame or...i don\'t know??
-
Icons? We talked about general graphic creations that could be included in textures, and so end on weapons, armor, walls, objects, etc...
Mogura: isn\'t that just a bit phallic? ;)
-
So no walls/backgrounds included? just the symbols and designs? What about colour and depth to the design? this could render it useless to certain aspects in that game, IE an indepth texture of a snake done in red with a stone look would look out of place on a weapon but ok on say a wall...
IE: would ideas be better like :
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/226286/Image2COLOUR.jpg)
or
(http://img.villagephotos.com/p/2003-9/226286/Image2.jpg)
Anyways I can do textures, Dpne em for many a mod =) ill try and get some done tonight anyways =)
-
Heres my contribution. kind of a cuneiform writing theme.
Maybe I\'ll do some more later something with a celtic flair perhaps?
(http://www.marzhill.mine.nu/symbol_doodles.jpg)
and in png if you want it:

-
(http://www.xsi.co.za/lostprophet/Art/Living armour.gif)
I don\'t have a scanner, otherwise it\'d look a lot better, but the idea is it\'s like armour that\'s alive, and it coils round the wearer.
I like the sword moogie, but... it has a bellend. Maybe only guys notice that.

hehe maybe your subconscious is trying to tell you somethings Mogura
-
Hey Kwartz that would make a cool helmet if you turned it upside down.
-
I\'ve made a few things, like cave designs for merchants to mark palces like, \"spring ahead\", \"Magic at work\", and \"danger ahead\" am i on the right sorta track?
-
Druke thats good but dont worry so much about the concept behind them - the image is the important part
In fact adding a story to any images might limit us when we look at it.
-
ahh ok jsut designs, well i\'m nto greaat at those lol
-
Things like this that you came up with (AKA - original) would be nice:
(http://www.lewis-clark.org/FTCCOLUMBIA/FILESGRAPHIC/fo_alchm.jpg)
-
just a few for now...
sandstone: (this will pattern and matches to itself on all corners)
Edit: this is old version doh!, need a bit tweeking on left and right still, not top and bottom though, ill send daikan last version tomoz and update then =)
(http://dakhanavar.sytes.net/pub/pictures/sswall.jpg)
sandstone to edge:

I allways liked the symbols used in the game Black & White :)
Link: Black & White Website (http://blackandwhite.ea.com/)
But since you can\'t use these .. i\'ll draw you some shapes tomorrow ..
-
it isnt a symbol or design but i thought i would have a go at this anyway =) first time ive done anything like this so plz go easy on pointing out the bad stuff :)
(http://www.angelfire.com/falcon/planeshift0/mindari_sig.jpg)

NICE Midari
I love the plumel! The sword seems a little short in proportion - but if that\'s your first that is great.
-
sword? sword? oh yeah, good point.... its meant to be a dagger XD

on a copletely different note: i\'d love to see alchemy symbols in PS ...i mean, not necesarily the \"original\" historic alchemy symbols, but more some PS version of it ...it would really make being an alchemist more fun :]

Hmm... maybe you guys should visit the badge threads on [shameless plug] http://forums.relicnews.com ...

Hey hook I can\'t see any of your beautiful piccies! Is it just opera or can no-one else see them?
-
I see hook\'s images, so I\'m guessing it\'s opera..

it shouldn\'t be opera ...they\'re just simple jpegs ...you have the links to appropriate pngs if you want :]
...or maybe opera just got a new built in ugly-pic-filter plug-in :D
-
Ok, so actually, you must know anything is interesting but must be graphics. You can add a concept to it also.
For example Hook, I really like some of your work, the reference to race is also a good point, it bring a story to you picture, perhaps a guide, perhaps a clue but something.
So ppl, no limit, POST A LOT, don\'t think what you do is ugly, because 1?) really good work EVERYONE, 2?) if there are useless post, or not good enough later, we can delete them, so feel free to give ideas. (try to be creative, I know it\'s hard ;) )
Having a lot of ppl contributing on that is a force because of the number, on all that post, I\'m sure something great will be made.
Thank you all, blow up the posting count ;)

dermorian:
since they\'re elves which are (usually) related to nature, forests and trees i used a tree symbol ...but i think it could use something else beside a tree (not to be confuzed with the actual trees)
diaboli:
well, since they have tails, i just drew a tail :))
enkiduakai:
there\'s the wiskers (on the left) which are coinsidently also shaped as an E (as in enkidukai) or a paw-scratch. the top side should be two ears - the left one prolonging into a tail.
it\'s not really really logical, but i like this symbol the best :]
klyros:
basically it\'s a klyros head with the fan (or whatever it is) on the top of the head, and the wings on the back
agian, not really logical, but i like it :]
kran:
well, it\'s a kran head
lemur:
since lemur are fragile, thin, pale and elegant, i used the same for the curves - it should be a lemur stick-man
nolthrir:
since nolthrir live under water, i drew some kind of an eye with a tear of some sort
the .svg looks better, i don\'t know why
stonebreaker:
well, it\'s a stone that\'s broken ...not really photo-realistic, but still
xacha:
well, the symbol is very similar to the one for ylian, but has a little mayan touch to it (the square mouth and the spiral on top - representing some jewelry maybe)...i don\'t know xacha just remind me of maya and aztecs
ylian:
it\'s a kind of a face: two eyes, a nose and a triangular beard
something i couldn\'t fit into the previous post (post too big):
ynnwn:
(http://193.2.144.122/~hook/ps_symbol_ynnwn.jpeg)
png (http://193.2.144.122/~hook/ps_symbol_ynnwn.png)
svg (http://193.2.144.122/~hook/ps_symbol_ynnwn.svg)
since ynnwn are a mix of diaboli and dermorian, it\'s a horned head, with a tree (dermorian symbol) in it ...it\'s probably the worst symbol i\'ve made graphically, but i think it\'s a good idea for showing mixed races.
on a completely different note i\'d like to say that i really like the idea of having alchemical symbols in PS ...preferably some we\'ll think of ourselves. i\'d REALLY enjoy having to translate alchemical recepies from a symbolian writing ...it\'d add some real fun into it!!! ...but not having the labels in the alchemical symbols on the ingridients - you\'d have to learn what\'s what.

It\'s a miracle, I can see! Nice work hook ;)

Hi!
I\'ve been playing planeshift for some time, but just now I decided to take a look at the foruns.
Some textures:
http://www.grsites.com/textures/
http://textures.forrest.cz/
http://www.hfahrnholz.de/noctua-graphics/english/fraset_e.htm
http://www.digitalanimators.com/HTM/Resources/Textures/TexturesMain.htm
There are thousands of textures in these web pages, maybe some can be used (rock, metal, water, grass, wood).
PS: Sorry about my english, it\'s horrible. But I think it\'s possible to understand. lol :)
-
The info that comes with those sites and use might be bit worrying, except the 3rd one.

Copyright notice:
___ I have tried to choose all texture that are avaiable on the Internet for free, for free distribution, all textures are downloadable as Save as. If there are some textures which have a copyright I had no further intentions to show them there. I have been collecting all these textures for a while from servers where they were available on a royalty free basis so I do not supose there are some with a copyright.
I got some messages that in library are a lot of commercial textures with copyright. Now i don\'t know what textures are free and what are not.
All textures, materials and 3D objects in the download area can be used without any restrictions in your own private and commercial projects.
You are not allowed to spread them without giving the creators name, to include them in texture collections without a written permission and you strictly may not offer them for sale in any way.
thanx for the links taurandur some very interesting stuff =)
i still havent done anymore symbols... =/ stupid job and lazyness taking up all time =) ah well i couldnt do anything too good anyway XD =)
-
wow, thanks Taurandur the 2nd and the 3rd page are great!!! it\'s a great help to me ...since i\'m just starting to use blender to make 3d \"art\" :]
but i\'m pretty sure the PS team has/wants to make their own textures :rolleyes:

Take a look at this link:
http://www.witch-crafted.com/symbol.htm (http://www.witch-crafted.com/symbol.htm)
You\'ll find some alphabets and pagan symbols that could be used to write things like magic, alquemy potions or ritual instructions.
Could also be used as ornaments for weapons, armors, clothes, constructions and many other things...
Another idea is to make an heptagonal shape around every symbol symbolizing the Azure Sun.
I\'m trying to create an alphabet, but it will take some time... :P
[edit]
Also take a look at this part of the web site:
http://www.witch-crafted.com/graph.htm (http://www.witch-crafted.com/graph.htm)
You\'ll find more pagan grafics, symbols and alphabets.

Symbols? gems? general stuff you say?
get yer dev bum on down to the \"fanart contained within\" thread in the fanart section, I got loads O stuff up there
-
just some shapes, they\'d obviously have to be simplified, because there\'s too many edges and details, but the general shape could be cool (yes, the images are huge, sorry)

Heh, Xalthar, there\'s a shop in my town that sells swords like the ones in your link at the beginning. SOme are the same, some are better.
-
some excotic chinese kung fu weapons.
http://www.martialartsmart.net/chinese-martial-arts-weapons-exotic-weapons.html
i love the 9 section chain whip they are soo cool.
there hard to learn and hurt alot lol ( i got 1).
and since there is a whip in ps there should be a chain whip to.
check out the round blades, i like the wind and fire blade too.
since there is martial arts in ps meaby these kung fu weapons might give ideas to some one.
-
when you open this page look at the weapons and go to info
http://www.budkww.com/deptpage.asp?title=Medieval+Arms&subject=U18&catpos=3
-
These are some minor decorative things, nothing extra-special, but you asked for ideas, and here are mine:
First I have this little ornament:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/Seytra/Planeshift/PS-symbol2.jpg)
It could be used as engraving on walls, doors, weapons or even be put on clothes and books.
Second, this one:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/Seytra/Planeshift/PS-symbol1.jpg)
I envision this as ornament for clothes mainly.
And third, here are two 3d shapes which actually are the shapes of some chocolate thingies which I think look nice. :)
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v490/Seytra/Planeshift/PS-3d-shapes1.jpg)
Don\'t ask for additional details, I\'ve already eaten them (yum). :D
Edit: it just occured to me that the lower left one (top view of 3d shape) looks like it could be used as the top of a cloak or something.
