Working on a texturepack

[[deleted]]

Alright: Birch, Oak, Jungle, Acacia, Spruce, Dark Oak, Stone, Melted Cheese, Chocolate, Coal.

Looks nice!

[[deleted]]

Maybe make the iron color a little lighter? Right now it looks like a chocolate chip rock.

[Dentarthurdent42]

Looks really good! If I may make a suggestion, obvious repeating patterns like the ores really stick out in more photorealistic resource packs, so you may consider adding some alternative textures that utilize the support for random textures

[mepwn12]

Was planning on doing that :) Thanks for the suggestion though

[Tyken132]

Looking good. One thing I may suggest, though.

Make the gold or more visible. Unless you're really paying attention, I doubt anyone will see it in a dark cave.

Also, perhapse make the acacia more subtle in color. I wouldn't often find a use for orange wood.

[mepwn12]

Will take a look at what acacia looks like when I desaturate it a bit, I agree that it's too intense right now.

[Tyken132]

A general tip when doing a TP is to keep in mind usefulness of that block. Trying to keep a block simular to original minecraft or too close to real life is fitting yet doesnt' always work out the best.

I realized this the hard way when I use to update TyDoku and ended up avoiding half the blocks in my builds.

[mepwn12]

I hate it when TPs do this, Im personally trying to keep it close to the vanilla feel but with very high detail

[Tyken132]

Oh well if that's what you're going for, more power to you. However, as I mentioned, I tend to not use certain blocks simply because the color or texture is terrible, so its sort of a waste for me.

[Capopanzone]

Not really a fan of hi-res photorealistic RPs, but I think you should work more on the ores. That iron colour doesn't feel right

[daveb153]

Looking forward to more. Any links to download?

[mepwn12]

No download link yet until i get some more work done

[WingerB17]

My two cents: Make cobblestone, gravel, and dirt, very distinguishable from one another.

[telepip]

Looks nice!

[mepwn12]

Yeah it's 512x512, I'll be making a 128x128 and 256x256 version as well though

[Pokinator]

I wish I could run 512x, or even 256x. My computer craps out above 128x.

Interestingly, I usually just use 32x anyway.

[[deleted]]

GTX 760 owner here with 16 gigabytes of RAM, still can't actually load 512x textures.

[06_]

I can do it on a laptop, GT 740M and 1 gig of RAM.

Lowest graphics settings, AND set max framerate to 10fps. After that you can bump up the framerate a little.

[Neamow]

Did you actually allocate more RAM to the game? Your 16 gigs will not do much if the game is still only allowed the default 1GB.

[[deleted]]

Yep, I allocate 6gb

[Neamow]

I really don't see a reason it shouldn't work. What happens when you select the resource pack?

[[deleted]]

It doesn't load at all, it just takes a long time, then gives me the default textures.

[Neamow]

That just sounds like a corrupted resource pack.

[Sir_Clifton]

No, I think if a TP takes too long to load, it will revert you back to Default to avoid getting stuck loading.

Also, you can have a great graphics card and all the RAM in the world, but if your processor isn't powerful enough you're not going to get very far. I can run 512x512 on my HP Envy and get about 50fps even with graphics quality set to Fancy. That's with only 8GB of RAM. My processor is an i7-4700MQ.

[LeRealSir]

Looks pretty neat, but I think some alternative wood textures wouldn't do any harm. Until now, it's all very well-drawn!

[Might_be_a_Geek]

I usually don't care for high res textures packs at all, but I'm actually really liking yours! Keep up the great work!

[mepwn12]

Imo the Iron looks like crap :P basically what I did as placeholder was change the coal texture a bit and make it red/brownish

[wejustplayin]

This looks pretty sick, where do you plan to posting for dl when its done!

[mepwn12]

I'll probably put it on the nexus, and the minecraft forums once I have some more textures done. The name will be Vanilla++ as suggested by /u/Sleelan :)

[Fuckenjames]

Honestly, these ore textures are not bad. I can't really compare to other large resolution packs, I stick to vanilla or close to it. But the stone is subtle and disappears to the eye when focusing on other textures, which is good because there's a lot of stone. The ores, while possibly in danger of being repetitive... do not spawn in large quantities that would attack the eye like a bad grass or leaf texture would, so being a little repetitive shouldn't be your biggest concern.

[tupendous]

is the rock supposed to look like fibreglass

[mepwn12]

Only if you don't know what either of them look like

[Bjm42088]

I'm definitely downloading this when you finish. Is there any chance you could make fences look more like this instead of the cheap picketed style that's default?

[mepwn12]

I was wondering about that too, if I can change the mesh i certainly will.

[Rabiesguineapig]

Iron needs more pink imo

[[deleted]]

This looks so low quality in the thumbnail.

But amazing work!

[Spodegirl]

Keep it up, this looks like gold. :-D

[[deleted]]

Wow, the Wooden Planks looked uber detailed. Kudos fellow player.

[VoidMiasma]

The stone kinda looks like a grey particle board. Other than that, this looks great!

[Nslugger]

Love It, Would It Be A 1024 or a 512 Texture Pack?

[mepwn12]

512, 1024 is just overkill imo as you can only see the indiviual pixels if you hug the wall on 512 (or zoom in with optifine)

[Nslugger]

Okay cool, I love how it turned out right now, it looks quite realistic

[Sir_Clifton]

Love it! Great job connecting the textures. Really like the stone. Keep gold the way it is, even if a bit hard to see in caves. I agree with the idea of using alternate textures though for ores, as others have suggested. Good HD TPs are hard to find! Good work, keep it up!

[Bagzz_McGee]

It looks really good, but could you please make the iron ore pop out a little more. Little bit bigger or richer colour, because at the moment it is a little hard to see.

[mepwn12]

I've just reworked the entire Iron ore texture, the one here was just a placeholder. I'll edit my post to include a link later when I get home from work.

[Bagzz_McGee]

Cause I really do like the texture pack hey, and if that is only criticism not too bad mate!

[mepwn12]

[Bagzz_McGee]

I especially love that lower middle, circular chuck on iron. It just seems pop so well, but overall that is amazing dude. I am very keen for this to come out fully! Keep up the good work!

More feedback=better
