Yep, no problem.

So, stone/brick wall(s) seem to be the popular idea. I'll try it out.

Have you seen the textures with 3d grass in-game? They look like textures which you can blendmap, maybe you just have to add another texture to it like you do with blendmap? Just guessing ;)

Actually, blendmaps are distinctly different then regular textures. It's essentially two pre-made textures combined. So I don't think it'd work with 3d grass but that's just a guess.

I think I'll try to figure it out myself, it's not really a problem of creation, more coding, I think.

Also, some textures sandbox really needs:

-more realistic house wall textures
-better roof textures (more size-appropriate)
-more dirt, rock, earthy textures
-more wood, concrete, building material textures
-(not sure whether this counts, it's similar) a better selection/variety with skymaps

Yes. Probably.

1. I'm actually working on those presently.
2. I'll see what I can do, I think I know what would work.
3. Definitely things that you'll see in the second pack.
4. Ditto ^^
5. I don't really know the difference between skybox' and textures, so I might look into it.

Thanks for the ideas CP!

Hey guys, I'm glad to announce that Custom Texture pack 2 will be released really soon. I've gotten some really good textures done and I'm getting ready to work on the next batch. I'm still getting a handle on wood textures and I'll try "panels" of wood on my next go around.

For those of you who requested stone textures, there are some nice ones in there I think you'll enjoy!

Just to let you know, there might be an error with the second pack, quite a few textures don't show in the texture screen (the name shows, not the texture.) It also says verticalwood doesn't load, but you named it with a 2 on the end, I think.

EDIT: correction, there are actually 2 verticalwoods, one of them's missing

Here's a list of what's missing:

brick
both brownlights (regular and 64x64)
red brick
scratch blue
vertical wood

That's all I found missing, 6 total.

Beyond those issues, you have some great textures there.
