Bouncing Ball New Texture

I think we need a new texture for the bouncing ball. I also think that Nolok should have a different version. No need to remodel just give him a bouncy slime ball. Retexture. Anyway here we are:

Happy bouncy ball.

If anyone has noticed many bouncing balls are kind of bumpy. I included that in this texture.

So what about it?

screenshots from in game help a lot.
P.S. these do not seem as high quality as the original. like they do tile and don't look the best.

Screenshots are difficult (I have to wait to get one). I can't use the key command because keyboards are evil.

Yes I'll work a bit on the quality.

This isn't the best screenshot but here it is:

This is a screen of the ball. The second one from the top.


I'm working on improving.

I agree our current texture is not the best, but yours seems a little plain?

Yes. But with it comes the concept. I'll work on the texturing but do you like the concept?

I don't like our current texture, but I'm not convinced by yours. However you can try many concepts and ideas, if it seems good we accept it :).

In my opinion, we need another model, to clearly distinguish the bowling and jumping ball.

I don't like your new texture, perhaps green texture is good ?.

I prefer the texture of now !

I tried the green one originally but it didn't fit the look. I'm currently redoing it so we'll give you something better soon.

Why do I keep saying we? Difficult not to for some odd reason.

Here's a new version of the happy ball texture.

It's a slight re-visioning of the previous one so some elements are copied.

I tried to change the texture but the ball is white while playing...

It could be funny to do a yellow ball with a smiley :p

I have a question: do you create your textures by yourself or do you take them from a kind of "texturebank" ?

I create my own from scratch and occasionally from old STK files.

Maybe an :twisted: on the front so you see it when you look back and a :p on the back

It could be nice so far ! Very funny !


I personnaly think if people have to keep the original, it is too dark :think: (Just my opinion).

Edit : I delete the picture as hero advise me because of the unknown licence of the smiley

We could have a black or purple ball simply PLASTERED with smilies of all types.

If you don't know the license you shouldn't really post (it's redistribution immediately).

Here we are. I've not yet seen it in the game so if someone could do it for me and post a shot please do.

I tried to get the texture on the ball. It's possible that I lost a bit with the smiley in the process.

I don't like your idea smiley,
It's very bad for STK !

I know it was just a concept. At the moment I'm redoing it. But consider that concept art. Is the idea good?

perhaps one big smiley (entire ball being yellow) with a grin that was just on the creepy/manic side of normal..?

The problem is that kind of gets off the ball. This is a kid's bouncing ball. Though I have, what, a hundred balls in my possession with grins they don't bounce and are automatically linked to foam and non-bouncing balls. Of course we can try it but I don't think it will quite work. :twisted:

A tennis ball (or basket ball) could be very nice and funny ! :o
(With the sound of these balls of cource ! :twisted: )

It can fit with the game, you already put bowling ball
