Remake HL textures

[InsaneSingingBlender]

hi ted!

[Term]

Thanks for the welcome guys! I usually don't frequent boards too much, but this thread was linked from my regular german forum so here I am. I currently have some free time on my hands so I probably do some more of that "HL past to present" texture revamping, it's pure fun!

Hey, and Ted, you still with the mohawk? At least I'm still with my hippie haircut... though I must admit I'm seriously growing too old for that type of scalp

It's too grainy and the lighting is strange. I like the metal trim though... :\

Maybe my eyes trick me, but the original texture seems to have the orange door in front of the outer grey frame and not beneath it, as it is in yours. This gives the whole texture a new purpose as yours is more an orange metal piece framed by a grey one rather than a fifties submarine style door blocked by some bars. But I like the metal structures of the texture, nice scratches and stuff.

and the new one:

[OL]

i think the contrast is too high splitta, but what do i know?

[mikezilla]

it is too high, in addition (and this is free advice)

is that what you think rusty corrugated metal actually looks like? or did you just sorta overlay some stuff and decide it looked cool? part of good texturing is defining in your mind what a surface looks like and mimicing it... the word "subtlety" comes to mind

[ook]

goddamn, did you paint all that hosing and stuff by hand? very nice.

He cheated in a skilled way. MAX. :X

Nope hand painted in PS

Thanks all for the compliments. Mikey hatez the cheesy photoshop bevels also. Actually come to think of it I hate them too. Lazyness: 1 Me: 0.

wasn't trying to shiv ya, just trying to help you out.

only so many times you can say "oh thats good try again" in a nice way before you stop.
