Amazing

[Funto]

Much better, but it really needs a normal map...

[fraang]

Is normal mapping supported. I can create normal maps anyway.

[betharatux1]

nice

[Totoplus62]

I don't know where to post this ^^ I made an icon for Auria's tuto in the main menu (This is currently a question mark like "help"):


Ps: I create an new icon for suzanne, look at ticket n°590

[samuncle]

Woow very beautiful Totoplus62. However I see repetitive patterns in the texture, please avoid it, try to change the repetitive easy to spot parts

We will include it soon.

[Totoplus62]

Ok. "repetitive patterns" You speak about the wood stick right (i'm fixing this) ? Suzanne icon ?
Edit: fixed

[samuncle]

No it was about the brick textures ^^.

[Totoplus62]

It's a mistake sorry samuncle. fraang did this but i did not want to create a new topic for the tuto icon (So i used this one because this is a "Texture contribution thread")
It's my fault, sorry again

[charlie]

I think samuncle meant the repetition visible in each individual brick. From the texture image (not the screenshot) you can see the texture repeating almost 3 times (twice clearly) horizontally in each brick.

Actually it's not so obvious in game (in the screenshot) but still it isn't desirable.

[Funto]

Still, he wasn't talking about Totoplus62's icon ^^
I really like it, though I wonder if in-game it wouldn't catch a bit too much the player's attention, and be too big compared to the other ones...Any screenshot of what it looks like in the main menu ?
And maybe I would make the penguin's eyes wide open instead of half-closed as they are now.

[Totoplus62]

A white board is better maybe ?

[fraang]

First, Totoplus62 your icon looks really awesome. Could you outline it so it fits better to the rest of the icons?

I have worked a bit more on the textures:

Totoplus62: thanks I think it has too many details compared to its neighbor icons, but I don't see how to fix that...maybe try to make the penguin a bit bigger?
fraang: cool texture But as I said, I think a normal map is necessary here. I think there is a plug-in in Gimp to create those. As for integration into STK, I think you have to tweak some materials.xml file (see http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Materials_xml ).

[Funto]

Great, I love them! My preference goes to the one with the STK letters.
And I reiterate my remark on the eyes that I would prefer wide open, but that's just my view. Any other opinions?

[sj04736]

I also like Totoplus62's little icon with the letters. funto: I think the eyes may be wide open with glasses in front.

If they are in fact glasses, maybe the frames could be altered a bit to make this clearer?

[Auria]

Hi Fraang,

thanks for the delayed answer. I have now added your new textures to the game. Thanks! Looks much better

Do you have the original lossless PNGs?

[Auria]

Totoplus, that icon is cute is it entirely by you, or is the tux from somewhere else?

[Totoplus62]

No the tux character was not by me (it was under cc-by-sa), the other things were by me; but i'm able to make a new tux and/or to modify this one (glasses ? Eyes ? as funto suggested) if this one isn't as good enough

@auria is the new suzanne icon good enough ?

[fraang]

I have uploaded all (jpg, png, xfc) on OpenGameArt.

[Auria]

Totoplus62, I think your icon looks good but I will need to know the name of the person that made the tux, to respect the license

[betharatux1]

wow ... that tutorial icon looks cute so much

[Totoplus62]

@auria Yes of course here is the link http://tux.crystalxp.net/fr.id.1808-einstein-tux.html
