Animated Shorts

Post by EN4CER »

I'm trying my hand at modeling and animation. So far the results have turned out way better than I ever expected. I'm looking at getting a second graphic card so that final rendering only takes a few days instead of a week.

Regardless, I'm looking for some really high definition metal textures for station walls. I made a couple of my own for the ship and they turned out really well but I'm having trouble getting my creative juju going for the station walls. Should there be rivets? Should there even be visible paneling? What color should it be? My question is does anyone has a texture that's high definition enough that it can be stretched (at least 720) and would look good for the station walls, floor, and ceiling?

tldr; Does anyone have a really big texture for internal space station walls?

:cool: If this is for personal use (not to be distributed), you can probably "borrow" textures from other games (the Silent Hunter series has lots of metal-looking WWII ship textures). You can also Google websites which offer free textures for download.

Yeah I did a few Googles and looked at grabbing some textures from the Deus Ex and System Shock games since I remember both of them having decent paneling. Needless to say I remembered those looking a bit better back in their day. Finally I found a few other people on blendswap that are using and distributing exactly what I needed. I'll try these out when I get home. I think I'm just a day or two away from my final render.
