    I'm making some textures for nightfall (http://www.nightfallmod.net) i started with a floor, but it doesn't seem right and i wanted some opinions/advice on it. Here are some images:

    Seems to repeat a lot, you can either make the texture larger so there is a greater variation in the tiles themselves, or add decals to differenciate it a bit. Otherwise, it looks fine to me. It really depends on the lighting as well, it would be nice to see it slotted into a map that has models, etc.

    hey barra . my biggest suggestion is you remove the big brown spots in that one square . they really show that the whole thing repeats. i would try and stay away from things that are easy to spot in repeats .

    ha i noticed that to, but i loved that bit of detail so much that didn't want to remove it. I think it will have to go then

    I think the seams are too thick. Even if you want a style which is thick it's more like stones placed in concrete right now. I think you need to work some on the actual seams more as well add some color and dirt and try to somehow connect it more to the tiles.

    well actually i made them that tick on porpuse, since it is for the entrance of a sewer system i wanted it to have a more sloppy look, altough that doesn't quite fit with having them all aligned. I wanted basically wath you said "stones placed on concrete" but i'm going to try do wath you sugested. Thanks
