I just want to make sure I understand. I can make any texture as long as it's a floor? How it will it determined that it's a floor?

[chrisco97]

Yes, it can be anything as long as you can stand on it. Even concrete could qualify!

[j.d.melek]

hey Chrisco..just to clarify for any newbies who may consider entering..
"no renders"
could you elaborate please!!
regards j.d.

[chrisco97]

Well, you shouldn't use renders in your textures.

[Sarkut]

To further clarify, for newcomers.

Renders as in planetrenders.net, are out.

Using Paint.NET Render effects is OK.

[chrisco97]

Thanks for clarifying, Sarkut.

[j.d.melek]

thank you Sarkut. Knew you"d understand

regards j.d.

[Possum Roadkill]

OK, another question. If I do a floor, can I also do the walls to put the floor in context (as being a floor) ? Let me explain it like this, do you just want an image of a texture like this



or can I put it in context like this? (oviously, without the spider )



Same texture, but one is a flat surface that could be almost anything, while the other is rotated and tiled so it appears to be a floor.

Note: I have already used these and will not enter them, and I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just want to make sure the rules and guide lines are clear to those who wish to enter.

Hey Possum,,the rules state "AS LONG AS YOU CAN STAND ON IT"
therefore,, where I come from,, "SPIDERS" are allowed

Yes, you can do that!

J.D. is right, Possum!

I'd like to own the boots that can stand on those spiders! C'mon guys - not all spiders are yukky! I used to have one in my garden that would wash itself in the mist created when I watered the plants near it. I just don't want to share a house with them. I'm selfish.

Ok, think we get the idea.

Great & thanks for hosting Chrisco!

[chrisco97]

I hate snakes!

I do not want to share a house with them either, they are creepy.

Are you going to enter?

Let us get some more in!

Don't you dare step on my spider ! He's robotic and cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to develop from the prototype to the final design. It's not my fault they keep reproducing and now number in the hundreds ! Sure they look creepy, but they are really beneficial. They hunt terrorists and alien robots from outer space ! Oh if you only knew ! <insert dramatic look here>

OK I think I get the ideas of what we can do. I'll try to get something together. I have some ideas (evil laugh), yes some very good ideas (longer evil laugh). But first, some pizza !

EDIT: Spelling, again !

I don't care about the art.  I want some of what Possum' is on ...   

Oh yeh I forgot after reading that.  If mine isn't qualified as a floor covering, feel free to discard to the great compost heap in the sky ..

You crack me up, Possum!

My spiders don't do that, they bite! HARD...

Don't forget the coffee!

[welshblue]

Actually ... not all of us step on spiders.  Some of us jump on the sofa for the wife to rescue us
