I'm sure we'll be able to texture the 3-d objects at some point...but since they color dynamically I wonder exactly what we have to work with...?

The simplest way to go would be to give 3-d objects moddable skins. That way, you can edit them 2-dimensionally in a template. In grayscale, you can put symbols, shapes, and such on any side of the blocks, or cut out some of the template to make different-shaped blocks, such as triangles, 3-d stars, wangs, etc.

UPDATE: I pounded out a quick set of flowers. back to work

Some of you guys may want to reduce the resolution of those to use them.  1280X1280 will probably cause a performance hit on most machines.

Here's my first attempt at playing with the Ring textures:

And lastly, the texture itself:

I wish we could make animated ones!  Think how cool moving spotlights would be!  (the lightsabers made me think of it)

Unfortunately, I find the hit textures being altered to be really distracting

And suddenly, Kittens!   is probably the best hit change.

Just figured id give ppl the high quality textures and allow them to resize them according to machine would hope most would already understand that high quality images will effect preformance

[BigYeti]

I figured, and appreciated that.  I just wanted to warn people who may not have much mod experience, yeah?

[WARBLADE]

heh aye.  ive been trying to figure out a way to get it to accept animated textures with no luck so far. maybe i could nudge the creator to get him to allow different formats of textures provided they had the proper name ^^

Would be a really awesome addition. i can just see some of the radical mods that could come from it

[BigYeti]

Someone, I think Postal Worker, mentioned animated PNGs...since white background already uses pngs....

[WARBLADE]

aye but that would limit us to only the white (transparent) background. cant do that with jpgs
