Good grass terrain textures?

Post by WSR2005 »

Does anyone know where I might find some decent grass terrtex images? I had a terrain pack from that vegetation site the closed down (sorry can't remember the name :oops: ) but I can't remember where they're available from nowadays. Or is there an alternative method for getting realistic textures (preferably free, don't want to buy Mosaic or something like that just for one small task)?

Thanks in advance,

Tim

You mean the Terrain Pack from the Czech site? Not sure where they went in the end. I've got the whole set backed up somewhere I believe although I guess you can't really use them if you can't contact the creator for permissions.

It's not actually that hard to create your own if you've got a basic grasp of Corel or PSP. Can [Prnt Scrn] Google Earth/Maps to get a good tone for your terrain.ace to be based on, doctor it into 512x512. Having done that, it's a good idea to cut it into four 256x256 squares which you then rotate through 180 degrees so that the tile boundaries will be seemless. After that, you just have to tinker with the cross that'll've formed in the middle of the texture until that's seemless too.

Snow, mud, sand and concrete/gravel are quite easy to replicate just with taking a base colour, adding noise to it then blurring it again to varying amounts, depending on how you want each to look.

Hi Tim
Otto was hosting the Czech scenery pack.
Unfortunately his downloads also seem to off ATM.

I think Otto closed down his downloads because he was exceeding his bandwidth allocation - too many RS routes. On Trainsim.com he asked people wanting stuff to email him.

Lots of steam and early diesels from 1959 to 1963.

Hallo!
You could also try MM Vegetation V2 from http://www.bahn-simulation.de/start.php Look for Train Simulator\Downloads\Objekte. There's an English readme with the file.

Keep on steamin'!

Ah vielen Dank Dietmar, sehr nuetzlich! :D

I couldn't find Ottos download page, I presume he's not hosting them anymore. But thanks for the replies everyone.

Have a look at http://steam4me.railpage.org.au/trainsi ... structure/ - Trunda's terrtex and vegetation file lives there (161MB ZIP).
