Textures: Cobbles
Loopysue
ProFantasy 🖼️ 40 images Cartographer
These are 2 sample textures of the 20 I've just made for use in CC3 battle maps, on the theme of 'cobbles'. They are each 1024 pi square png files intended to cover an area approximately 5' square when used in a map.

There are 20 in all - 4 textures in 5 different colours already uploaded to my Guild album here if you are interested:

I hope they work ok with at least a few of the built in/third party styles.
If I'm slightly off the mark with the colours/patterns/size of things just let me know?
Remy - a community pack of fills would certainly help to keep everything in order so that they were in the same place relative to all the other built in and third party fills
Just as long as you don't end up fighting each other about who gets to solve the next problem :P
Or however seems best to you really
I think we should also find a way to make a +1 Monsen. The original one is going to need a break if he keeps catering to our need for project organization.
Or a tutorial on how to package custom symbols just for distribution.
We could build upon the current available symbol packs.
As for anything more complicated than that, I've never distributed a set of symbols so I can't really help you there. It was Monsen who sorted out all the Atlas city mapping stuff I did.
...
I've done a couple of other things, but I'm not sure where to put them for now. I'd like to know if you think they are any good first:

This is a ring symbol that could be used around things like a hole in the floor, or with bars as a prison cell skylight through which you can see glimpses of the floor below, or as the edge of a pond or flower border. I've also made ready made ponds:

I'm afraid they are all a bit samey right now, but I'm hoping the things I make can be mixed with other styles
This is the pattern and its set up:

And this is the cutting operation:

I was a bit tired last night, so I didn't think about it properly or I would have cut the excess pattern away in GIMP with a couple of masks. However, having done it once the hard way in Genetica I've now got the template to do as many as I want in the future. Ring patterns seem to be extremely useful. There are lots of them in the various collections we have. I will do a version with bars, and one with the centre left in. In fact I've done that last one already:

Here is the link again so that you don't have to scroll all the way up to find it:
Room 1024 - png textures for CC3
*crosses fingers and toes - hoping they will actually work ok with other styles*
I was going to say that all this stuff needs a proper field testing :P
Please let me know if any of it could do with a bit of serious tweaking/re-making?
Thanks
EDIT: I've started a new album for all the bits and bobs to keep the symbols and fills separate. Its private at the moment so I don't go and get up too many noses by flooding the Activity Stream with images (I wish there was an option to switch that off if you just want to get on with something without bothering people!). Right now I'm probably annoying anyone who happens to be my friend anyway, since friends can see private albums, though they must be logged on. I've decided to limit the number uploaded per day to 10, so that I don't go and really annoy Robbie, the Admins, and the CLs, who will all be able to see them anyway!
When its safe to do so (ie, when they will no longer disrupt the Activity Stream front page) I will turn the album public so that everyone can get to it.
Sorry for the delay everyone!

...oh, is it not up on your symbol page? Just went and looked.
Thanks
Not yet they aren't. I can see the previous batch have now disappeared off the bottom of the Activity Stream page, so I can upload some more. I'd taken my eye off the situation because I was learning how to make and render crystals from an enormously long and rather complicated tut on YouTube. Hope to have some of them to share soon... when I figure out this darned Cycles Render engine thingummy!
EDIT: Ok, this is the status quo.
The album is still private because I have just uploaded another 10 images, and keeping it private is a way to prevent the majority of people scowling at me for hogging the Activity Stream (a major page at the Guild). When enough activity has put them off the bottom of the page again I will turn the album public and let everyone know its there.
Of course, if we are going to go ahead and do this community collection then all the symbols may well end up being renamed and put in set folders and so on, so at that point you might have to delete the ones you downloaded from my albums and use the community versions instead to avoid complications.
I only have the Basic version, but I do wish I'd lashed out and got the next one up, which at the time was only £120 I think. I was still working back then - hadn't lost my job at that point
I thought, from looking at some of your textures, you also had Genetica. How do you make yours, then?
