Hi all,

I just wanted some input on a texture pack I am working on - this is the first 'liquid' texture - Icy blue.

I have used it here to make an Ice flow.

Comments appreciated (yeah I know its a Carribean sky (I'm odd like that :D)

Cheers,

Artilad.

It looks good, but it looks kind of rough and grainy.  To me it seems more like white beach sand in texture, than a liquid.  It seems to be especially noticeable closer to the render camera.  Then again, I may be wrong.  What do you think?

Yeah, I can see how you get that - I could probably cut the bump mapping down a notch or two to smooth it a bit more like ice, or even not have a bump map...

Thanks for the input, **sparrownightmare

I would smooth the base texture a bit.  Ice is never perfectly smooth, there are always imperfections, but they are just a bit too sharp and contrasting.  Try using a low level Gaussian Blur filter on the base texture and see how it comes out.  Hope this helps.

OK, I will play a bit this weekend.

Thanks for the idea.
