I just wanted to address the island owners and/or to be island owners here and just find out if there is an interest in a texturing class for ground textures specifically?

I am definitely not the guru and have only fooled with a few sim grounds up to now....but would be more then glad to share what I have figuerd out about them with the rest of you.

So please let me know and if there is interest we can set up a time for it.

I really like what you've done with the desert in Serenity. I was by there earlier today as you know -- how'd you do it? Only drawback I can think of, is at first, the ground appeared unusually green to me... it was only after setting Terrain Detail to FULL that it worked =)

terrain detail has to be set high yes...for the real thing
currently my 'mini textures' aren't loading for some reason. Had that happen in Zodiac first too but then it worked after a while so I am being a lil patient at the moment. When those work correctly then it should be ok.


Plus ...who wants to see a blurry ground? *grin* even if it may slow you down a little...and I think we are still very lag free in Serenity....walk a little slower and look a little more and set the stuff to full detail and you'll see the world is way nicer then you thought ;)

I would certainly be interested. I loved the textures in Zodiac and have been meaning to ask you and/or the sim owner how you achieved it :-)

That would be great Az! I don't understand the numbers a bit...just put new textures in and left the default levels. :o

Anyways, just let me know when and I (and possibly Higbee) will be there. Thanks! :)

after changing the textures around some..and some blurry black parts showing up..

LL informed us that there is a bug with the ground textures and changing them from default can cause bugginess.

But great idea Az hopefully they fix the bug soon

I mind... Khamon is like...green an stuff lol

Great job with all of this Azrazael! I think that you and I should have a very long conversation about a great many things sometime when we aren't slammed and we are actually online at the same time! lol

I can give you all some insight on the "texture bug". I found that this only occurred when I used 512x512 textures. Everytime I replaced with a 256x256 the bug went away. Hope this helps =) I would definitely like to attend your class tho =)

I will be there with bells on! Too bad it isn't at a more Euro friendly time tho, so Garth could attend also.
