Ok, it is a a lot better then the original but it still looks a bit too blurry and the texture of the wood needs to stand out a little bit more. otherwise great job!

just to note, svn's don't limit branching, anyone can take the latest work, create an svn and continue/modify branch etc on their own whim.

Phillip: Not bad but the original is still far too visible. Why not using a fot to recreate the writing instead of just filtering.
Search for "Hylian 64" on google to find the font.

@droid: did you chack cgtextures.com?

Thanks for the tip.

Anyway it was a bit blurry so I took away all the fancy stuff and just went for a plainer/sharper look.

Thoughts?

@Mode7 yep and didn't find a single one
@Phillip you need to make the arrow blend more into the sign. If you have photoshop try dropping the alpha on the layer with it a tiny bit. The fancy stuff would still be good to re-add

Okay I made it blend into the sign and I added back the painted lines.

http://img706.imageshack.us/img706/2360/signqwf.jpg - I realized now this is a different sign than I originally posted but the other one is along the same lines (lettering and texture).

And there's this:

It's a bit hard to tell what material is what in the original. To me it looks like two rusty metal doors with either a stone or bare metal sounding the outside (I went with dirty metal). I couldn't find exact handles to match and the doors might not be bright enough. Suggestions are welcome.

EDIT: One more.

Just noticed the outline in the new. I'll fix and post a new one later.

make use of alpha blending. the HRT plugins support it.

I thought it was on but it seems I had the wrong option ticked. Thanks for the tip.

Good stuff, Phillip! I'm looking forward to see more of your work

@Phillip the sign is a bit better but It could do with some more improvement. What you need to do is try and make the wood and text look as one. Put it simply make the text look burnt or chiseled onto the wood.
Here is a great example on how to do that http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/t...holes-and-a-wanted-sign-into-a-piece-of-wood/ Of course your just after the text part of that tutorial.
Good job with the door but it doesn't really match the original design of the door as it misses key components of the original door.

The last one is actually meant to be a mound with a hole in it, you can tell it goes up not down by the way it is shaded.

A hole where a seed is ment to be planted :naughty:

On a side note I'm thinking of doing some work on the project soon.

@Phillip Keep up the awesome work!@ great to see a new face working on the project =)

Yeah I was having a hard time finding the right base for that one. I'll see what I can find and give it another shot.

So make the center appear to sink in, not up as it is now, correct?

Absolutely fantastic! Can't wait to see the finished product.

@Phillip--From working with this texture before, I realize that the entire texture comes from one quarter of the sign. So there's really nothing you can do to avoid some obvious mirroring. However, I would suggest using a less varied base texture--a wood image that is fairly consistent in the coloration and darkness of the grain. It will help make the mirroring less obvious around the middle. Also, I'm thinking you may want to treat the markings around the edges of the sign the same way you did with the text. That's just my suggestion, though.

@Mode--very impressive! Looking forward to the finished product. Have you figured out how to precisely match the camera angle of the original texture?

Yep you were right. The base texture was just too varied so I switched it out for a plainer one. I also made the outside marks ingraved, like the text, instead of painted strokes.

Well, I think it looks better, personally. But I'll leave the big decisions to the higher authorities.

 

[death--droid]

@Mode7 that is looking absolutely beautiful, Keep up the awesome work!
@Phillip

At the moment yours appears to go down when it should be going up

The text looks a lot better now it looks engraved in but I still prefer your other base texture besides that you have the problem with the middle. You could always try making your own wood texture rather then taking one from a photo.
http://psd.tutsplus.com/tutorials/t...n-photoshop-optimized-for-3d-rendering-basix/ . Of course you wouldn't use the same colours as the tutorial and you wouldn't do the paneling.

But then you might end up finding a better base texture that fits nicely and still has detail like your first one.
Also I think you should keep those strokes as painted

Is always nice to see a new project contributor, Phillip is nice to see you helping this amazing project, good job!
