Really nice!

Jorzi did you read the licence and FAQ's for http://www.cgtextures.com/ textures

You mean like this from the FAQ Berg ?:

May I use these textures in my Open Source (Creative Commons, GPL, etc) project?

No. These textures may not be used in Open-Source projects. The licenses are not compatible. Almost all Open-Source licenses allow redistribution of the materials, and redistribution is not allowed for these textures.

And you brought it up because of this ?:

Blender+GIMP only. Ground texture downloaded from cgtextures.com (no license problems with those). Procedural camouflage with blender. Everything else is hand painted/modeled from scratch. (no easy way I'm afraid). Oh and python texture was originally made by olrox

Though concrete surface variety is such a common place in any urban environment that shooting your own with even an average digital camera can yield very useful results without any issues over licencing - it's yours to do whatever.

Thanks for pointing this out, I've seen the licence before, but I've always been distributing renders only, so I haven't thought of it as a problem...

I haven't thought of the fact that the textures always have to be bundled with the model and that the licence transfers to any textures I make using pieces from cgtextures, which means I propably have to remove a few attachements...
I also need to remake the tower and bunker texture...

Does anyone have an open-source-compatible image of a bare concrete surface? It should be rough but not broken in any way.

I do have a good camera, but right now everything is covered in 50cm of snow, which is beautiful of course, but might not fit into the arizona landscape

Gah, all of my concrete textures are painted, though you might be able to find a decent image at http://gpl.imageafter.com

Not sure if these fit your criteria:

It should be rough but not broken in any way.

These are scaled to 35% & @ 90% compression of originals. Originals are about 5 mbs each.

Thanks mysteryem, it's a good resource, but unfortunately I haven't yet found something that fits as well as the one I got from cgtextures (for the bunker and tower, that is)
@Rman virgil: thanks but that is plaster and not concrete. We usually think of them as the same thing but they actually look quite different.
I am looking for something like this:
http://gpl.imageafter.com/image.php?ima ... ors288.jpg
http://gpl.imageafter.com/image.php?ima ... ors143.jpg
Unfortunately those images are not very good for textures...

................

Actually, they can be confused because they can be made to look like one another for aesthetic effects.... but they are indeed VERY different as far as structural characteristics. And I would know 'cause....

Hehe... I worked all the construction trades for a number of years (including concrete & plaster). Never confused the 2 in building a structure. Thank goodness for that last as one is mainly a load-bearing material and the other not. Those exterior surfaces forms are of crete not plaster (predominantly an interior wall material... unless your making art with Plaster of Paris).

Concrete can be made such to take on many visual looks (by various mixtures, forms used, texture surfacing, & load-bearing densities)... which is why I wasn't sure what you were after with your succinct description. The concrete that will be part of an external aesthetic will have its surface made to look different than concrete that will be hidden. And in cases were surface aesthetic is not a factor, like in a dam, the concrete will be left to look as if it would were it hidden, like in office buildings.

Here's a small sampling of the many looks of concrete:

But I understand now the particular crete look your going for with those samples from GPL Image After - might have some of those. I'll have a look see after work.

Thanks, I just talked with olrox and he found the same site
In fact we already found and image that works fairly well (I think)
See for yourself

Ahhh... that Olrox, even when he's not around our brain waves seem to cross.

Beautiful work ! (Strange choice of word for a war machine... but, this is art and art can be made out of war.)

That tower keeps looking better and better. Also, I have to say that this...



Is nothing short of perfection. 2-3 years from now, I hope every in-game tank model looks like that. *thumbs up*

Snow camo!!

[Jorzi]

Thank you guys, snow camo indeed
If you want some full colur renders, check my thread in the lounge viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6816

I finished the bunker and tower textures, now with 0% license problems

[macuser]

WOW that looks even better than before

[Square]

omfg! Adorable!
