Hey,

Yes these textures will work. Are you looking for a video card? I have one which is surplus to requirements and is in Excellent condition, I upgraded mine to the latest. Let me know if this is what you mean. Btw, where are you from in NZ?

[maggotknees]

cool thanks , nah i mean credit card to purchase and support development. it looks like this project has mind blowing potential, im from manawatu wanganui

[maggotknees]

my video card is ok for the time being gtx 560 and intel i7 2600 , windows 7

wish we could set location specific textures, so whole earth doesn't look same. :\
Good work tho.

Hi all,

It's been a while...

Anyway, I thought that seeing as some people are interested in a different look for Outerra landscape I would upload a texture set that I created to try to match my home in New Zealand. This is the set that I use by default and so I have decided to allow others to enjoy it as I do.

These are all the replacement textures I will share as I have mentioned previously that all my 200+ textures are for Brano to use at his discretion inside Outerra for the Biome system once ready.

For those of you who don't know I have spent many (hundreds) of hours trying to bring the Outerra landscape to life by working on certain base ground textures (including grass, dirt, gravel, sand and rocks) for different Biomes and regions. I am not an official developer or Outerra Team member just a willing fan that has taken it upon himself to help speed up the Biome side of development in terms of textures.

So enjoy this set.

So.... You did a bunch of work, and your YouTube videos showing your textures are great. But has any of this ever been used yet? is there any indication it ever will be used?

It will be used (actually the existing textures in OT are Kelvin's work), but exactly how depends on the evolution of terrain texturing system. Currently the colors are determined by biomes & color map, and ground textures are now encoded as differential YUV textures, as you can see for yourself in textures/terrain/ground/##y.dds files. That's because they have to work in procedural colorizer that combines land colors with detail textures. Therefore Kelvin's textures no longer work directly and have to be preprocessed using a special filter.

Once the underlying system is stable, it will be possible to use custom texture sets and have modifications local.

Cool! I had mentioned the grass colors in another thread, and the latest release showed a lot of improvement.
