Wow. This texture is quite cool.
I've been trying to learn how to use Blender so I can make some cool stuff. I might end up seeing if I can make some things for the summer jam. Does anyone know any good tutorials specifically tailored to making props? I know Freyja made a good one, but I'm not sure how much of that can be translated to Blender.
IRL WIP here:
Got a day off? Why not start restoring a scale model of a windmill. After a long day of work and cleaning out all the loose dust and wood splinters and whatnot, add some temporary sails (read: crooked pieces of plastic but hey, if it works it works), a drop of oil, and boom, it's turning. But we're a looooooong way from being finished. We still need to add a floor, repair the brake, make a new base, repaint the whole thing, etc...
And a video:
(I recommend watching in 720p)
This model is loosely based of Paltrokmill De Gekroonde Poelenburg (this one:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Gekroonde_Poelenburg,_Zaandam). It's a sawmill that rotates in its entirety into the wind on a concrete base (this model has a wood base, it's the red ring that's barely visible under the green part of the mill. Yes, it's rotting away, yes we're making a replacement ring), whereas normal mills (including some sawmill variants) only rotate their top part with the sails into the wind. 3 sets of saws (this model has 2 because of space limitations) move up and down being driven by an axle which is connected directly to the sails up front. Big logs are being pulled in via a crane (on the right of this model when seen from the front, incomplete) and then bolted to sleds that are slowly being fed trough the saw blades (not rotating ones, moving-up-and-down ones). Basically, logs go in, cut planks come out.
i may make a KOTH map based around this mill, soon™

It's always nice to see I am not the only one that occasionally goes back in time in the wip thread. This thread has some real good stuff hidden between his 762 pages (could have sworn that we passed 1000 pages two years ago, but whatever)
Reminds me of the GRN texture I made for TF2C.
I don't think anybody used it because packing was a bitch to do in that game...
The number of pages depends on how much comments you set per page, I only have 508
1 Line: TF2 Emblems
2 Line: Non Playbale Characters
3 Line: TF2 Beta Emblems
4 Line: Crafting Emblems
5 Line: Others
The 3 first emblems of the 2 line are from other page, but i have to vectorize every emblem, so i have to worked hard on it...
This looks really expensive but also very good for a medival maproof-lines:
meh, displacements are pretty cheap, as long as its only near the player space it should be fine. Besides, I can always convert them to models, then they'd be really cheap
roof-lines:
The lines in between the tiles look odd, maybe a custom texture that's straight tiles would look less off? (might not be too noticable though with it being a roof)

I'll probably just nudge the dipsplacements along the x axis here and there, break up the straight edges
I thought the pieces were created with the clipping and the vertex tool
