I've been gone for a few days while I was on heavy pain meds. In that time, I've been watching lots of Direwolf20. To do something back, I've been speaking with his fan-base and what they really lack is a "techy" texture pack that supports all the DW20 mods. As you can imagine, I find that a cool challenge.
So, I present to you: Brave New World, my texture pack in progress. For now, I'm floating on a creativity spree, so lots of stuff will need clean-up later. Here's what I've been doing:
First, the grass tile. I went for a mossy kind of grass, with some highlights (inspired by Summerfields)
Next, dirt. This was easy, I took the dirt from my previous 1.3 texture pack
For stone, I wanted it to double as a cool concrete/cement style texture, so I went with a plain smooth stone
Ores were again lifted from my previous pack. Since the stone is very plain, I'm still tweaking these to be perfect
For cobble, I got my inspiration from Fallingwater, the famous Frank Lloyd Wright building
I had some fun with mossy too (vegetation is fun)
For planks, I started going into the industrial theme. These would look good in a factory setting I think
The final image is one where I tried putting some stuff together. I have a few more blocks I'll be showing off later, but you can already see my "techy" redstone and my bricks:
Anyway, feel free to hit me with comments, critique, questions. I'm going to keep working on this in the foreseeable future.
