84 Josef's Tear Textures

Ommmgg I love you!...

Anyways great textures, downloading right now for my own collection. I was always impressed by the screens from Josephs Tear, my first attempts at leveling were attempts at imitating the style, sad it had to die. Feel like its Christmas..please release more!

Please add a Readme with the Credit information. Because sometimes it becomes difficult to remember who you have to credit after the data has matured in the harddisk for some months.

i have a ("josef's") tear in my eye, hearing this *** happening to az, and hearing that this most liked project isnt continued

As was mentioned above the reason for JT's cancellation was the theft that Az suffered. Az lives in Malaysia and survived the tsunami and earthquake that struck that area. He had to leave the area for a few months and when he returned his home was there, but was wiped clean by thieves. The JT project was primarily worked on by just Az and I for about 2 years (along with help from a budding newb by the name of bupaje back when he was just starting:) ), but Az had actually started the project himself even before that. That meant that Az had most of the assets for the project. Even though Az had multiple seperate hard drive backups, even they were stolen. It was pretty devastating for Az to have literrally every texture, model, level, and code disappear and rebuilding a multi year project is not something he's interested in yet. It's not necessarily never going to be done, but we would make everything from scratch.

Mr Wurm, excellent idea, I'll get that in there asap.

they are great textures. you could mabey consider seeing if contec wouldn;t want to add them to the resources for download page or even additions for the CD texture packs

Rich, you read my mind... or at least my post somewhere about this!

Thanks for bringing these back out to light... and hopefully you'll decide to bring the others you hinted out as well!


here's a quick and dirty example of what just 4 of these looks like in a hallway type setting!





Loved em long before you let us use them, Rich! Great work!

Hello!

With Rich's permission, I've mirrored these at www.gamebeep.com . I've thumbnailed them here.

Thanks!

i am very disappointed that the textures are photo cut outs. I always thought JT was a hand drawn game that shows how you can paint good looking textures as well.

but anyhow, they are professional made and thats basicly what counts...though a world crumbeled for me

Blattsalat, that's is actually a very nice complement Perhaps I could undissapoint by letting you know that most of the textures in the set were hand drawn Only 14 out of the 84 are photos which are the MoldyWall1+2, the wood textures, the H_StckRck textures, and the HQ DngRck textures. The rest may contain a photo element, but generally don't exist in the real world.

For example, in the samples.jpg from the top of the post, the window and carpet are completely hand drawn. The arch texture at the bottom right is hand drawn, including the arch window, except for the deco column top at the edges of the texture. The arch texture at the top left is all created by hand except for the inset rocks inside the arches. The image below is a partial look at the layers and workflow of creating the upper left texture.

i have seen that some parts are handdrawn but on the shots they looks all handdrawn to me

still they look excellent

This is a really great contribution, the textures are wonderful!! It's a shame that this project was cancled

Anyway, I'm excited about the other textures!

Thank You for textures.
And I'm sorry for that troubles...
People in big sity like a monkey sometime. Year ago in my country was an 'orange revolution'. (Did you see it on tv ?) At the meeting my money was stolen from my pants

As another download resource, you can grab them ->here<- as well. Thanks again, Rich!

sorry for bring this up again but im currently using these to texture my new castle built in wed :P ill post some screens in the showcase 1 when im done

Just as aside, in relation to the devestating idea that your whole game and work can be stolen.. if you EVER leave your house foran extended period, burn all your assets to a CD or DVD and either take it with you or lock it in a safety deposite box. Why you just leave it on your HD in your house for a few months is beyond me. The other possiblity, store everything on a ftp server.

id take my harddrive, but in his case it wasnt possible due to the fact he had to leave... real quick (tidal wave)

ok im done! the level screenshots are here, the only texture that wasnt from this pack was the roof.

Beautiful Textures , greately appreciated , THNX.

You didn't know they had been hand drawn Blattsalat? I'm surprised. I knew straight away they were handdrawn. You can by light and shadow etc. I suppose we all make mistakes though lol . A lovely contribution once again but I'm shocked that you're giving these away. People would probably pay a lot for textures that are practically impossible to find anywhere on the internet. These are hard to find because they are ready to use and also because they are unique. Well done.

Thanks Rich

Always liked them, even way back at the start of JT. Pity about the discontinuation of the game.

I'll also host it at 3DGS User's Voice. Just to make sure.

Cheers
