67chrome: Seems useful enough to approve, there aren't a lot of tileset skins on this site as well. Considering the tiles match up seamlessly, or as seamlessly as they can given what wc3 offers in rendering capabilities, these seem worked on enough for approval.

it breaks up a little.. but it's neat

 

[WerBackIII]

Thanks!

 

[Misha]

I would suggest a bit more tinkering.. so it looks flawless and continued ingame

 

[WerBackIII]

Well I have trouble making that happen; the only possible way I see is to redo the whole texture. Might do that, actually.

 

[67chrome]

The best way to make tiles line up seamlessly is to break up a tile into 4 equal-sized parts, and re-align the parts so that all the seems are in the middle of the tile, and all the work in the middle ends up being on the seems.

for a crappy visual, do something like this:

AB--->DC
CD--->BA

Basically you swap the quarters diagonally (A with D and C with B).

Then just work on aligning all the work so it looks seamless. The edges should be a + pattern in the middle of the tile now instead of the actual edge.

This wavy sand tile looks decent as is though, I'm not sure how I feel about using Genetica to create part of it though.

This is very nice I am going + rep you for this, I have spent so long trying to find a replacement to the sunken ruins sand.

@67chrome -

I did that, but there was no difference. The tiles match seamlessly when they are just put next to each other, but WC3 does not stack them perfectly. It seems to be the problem with the original tilesets as well.

 

[Misha]

Much better

 

[Tachael]

awesome!

 

[Nolko]

Awesome, really awesome !

 

[RiotZ]

Not enough variation... Looks like the same tile spammed like 5,000 times.

 

[Animalpower]

You should create more variations, like more rocky sand or grassy sand. I would not like a monotone terrain on a map.

 

[Quantum]

This texture looks fine to me.

 

[Sorceress]

Nice work, looks really Realistic!

 

[Rufus]

Great Texture!

 

[Darkgamma]

While you're at this, you could do a rocky and a savanna variation

 

[Space_Ship]

Variations, Variations, Variations!

 

[MasterTrainer]

This is a very interesting, realistic sand tileset and I'll be using it in my map... thanks a lot for making it =)

 

[JB_McKnight]

Nice Tile Texture!
Looks suitable as Beach Sand

 

[EggPooPoo]

REALLY cool, I like the lower resolution too as it adds to that old school fantasy game feel in the PS2 era!

However I think the texture is too grid-like, it doesn't come out as naturally as this DesertTile.blp

 

[StonemaulMidget]

I do not believe I've seen this texture before, or even if I did, I didn't know what to do with it.
Anyway, this looks like a perfect replacement for the Sunken Ruins Sand.
Color it, so it's reddish like the Barrens Desert.
