[Tailgunner]

The rock texture rocks!

[Tisky]

well im no master. Mikezilla is a master.

[Phlek]

That rock texture is shweet!

[Taylor]

I've a feeling all the real HL2 textures aren't going to be 512x512

[zaphod]

what gives you that feeling

[Phlek]

I'm going door crazy!

Feels like I'm missing something though

[IR]

color and highlights.

take a look at the orginal texture .. notice the amount of color and highlights even for suchs a low res texture ..

@phlek:

why is that texture 256x384?

D:

[ctswin]

64 x 96 = size of original, he's just made that ratio bigger

[Taylor]

what gives you that feeling

Because even graphics powerhouse Doom 3 rarely had textures that didn’t correctly cover the brushes they're supposed to be used on. And I had noticed already Valve are pretty sparing with their textures, even in DoD, a mod filled with giant textures, they only used the minimum that was necessary.

You could argue that reserving large chunks of memory for textures in this age is quite trivial, but there's no reason why some objects need to have a texture four to eight times the size of the game units they would cover.

Well, it's easier to scale down textures in PS than the other way around ...

[Bic-B@ll]

pfft, its easier for you to say bic, resize this for me in ps

[Izuno]

Great work everyone. You have all us mappers out there drooling.

well most hl2 textures are 512's. they didn't make the same trade off's that doom 3 did so they are able to use higher resolution textures when possible, they also use 512 normal maps.
