Anyone interested?

Im thinking of downloading loads of jpg textures and importing them into SU. Not so much for personal benefit, just so i could share them, as i find it really tedious havign to import jpg textures every time i want to use something other than basic SU stuff.
Id probably split them up in to packs like roof, flora, brick etc. and then post the .skm along with the original jpg (in case anyone wants to use the files for bump maps/clipmaps/normal maps)
So would anyone be interested in such a collection?
p.s. id make sure i scaled all the textures correctly as well, nothing more annoying than a porrly scaled texture.

Remus,
Please, also make sure to post materials created of images that are not copyrighted in any way. Often they are free for personal (or even commercial) use but they cannot be added to other collections or shared elsewhere.
-
ok, i'll watch out for that.

Hi Remus,
I've been thinking about the same thing. I have a collection of old English buildings, mostly churches, and I often find it useful to use elements from one in another model, e.g. roof tiles for a building where I can't easily photograph the roof, but I have a similar one from another building.
Let me know when you start your 3DW collection and I'll make some contributions.
Regards,
Tom -
Tom, i was just going to upload them here, and i wasnt aware that you could upload textures to the 3DW
-
Hi Remus,
This sounds great, when do you think you will be making them available.
Kind regards
Darren

Well ive just downloaded a load of jpgs. Next step will be to check theyre all ok, do any resizing/touching up in photoshop, rename them all to something more intuitive and then import in to SU. Hopefully before friday, maybe even by the end of the weekend if i ge some spare time.
-
Great idea Remus, I can contribute too, I have plenty I've photographed/created myself, so no copyright problems
-
Hmmm, well ive done it, but nearly all the files are bigger than the 4mb upload limit.
Id really like to avoid splitting the files up, so does anyone have any cunning plans?
They're already zipped btw.
Edit: no worries guys, im going to use rapidshare.
-
There you go, enjoy. BTW the files will becoem inactive after they havent been downloaded for more than 90 days. Can anyone think of a more permanent solution?
-
men... that good to share.... try to use massmaterialimport.rb plugin to convert in skp all images that u touch in a folder when u try to import one of them... try it and tell me. do what i did... and them store them in separated compressed folder.

I'll look into it, Remus. Thanks for the collection!
-
Juan, the problem with that solution is that none of the textures will be correctly sized, so its a real pain when you need to apply lots of materials if you have to resize them all as you go. Thanks for the pointer though.

what do you mean exactly? they will become inactive where they are stored? will something similar occur to them in my HD?
-
The website theyre hosted on deletes any files that havent had a download in 90 days.
They definetly WONT be deleted form your hard drive

I'm hoping Gaieus could host them on the SCF server, I've had endless problems trying to download stuff from Rapidshare when using the free service.
-
How come juju? whats the problem?
-
after you download the first file they make you wait progressively longer periods of time for the next free downloads.
i managed to do it over a period of one and half days.
-
I'll see if ic an find any alternative hosting, that sounds pretty crap.
sorry guys

have a look at http://www.4shared.com/. i have been using it with my students but have no idea how it is to dwld more than one file from it.
