Welcome again to another Veovis thread. Like my other one, this shall be an ever growing Work In Progress.

The theme of this thread is Tutorials and Downloadables for use in games. Like before, I need your help. If you know of other good sources for these things...post 'em...and I'll update the main list.

Thanks in advance again.

EDIT....oh, and I'd also like some Tutorials for Sprite and Tileset creation. If you have a URL handy, I'd love it.

Sweet, I'll have to check those out later [grin]
Thanks.

Added in a Tileset creation Tutorial, and some Font download links.

I'm eagerly awaiting other people to start sharing their internet sources for tutorials and downloads.

here's some that I stumbled across in no particular order

Another excellent idea. :)

I've got two tutorials I created.

Creating Cubic Environment maps (for games or general use)
Create a shockwave ring texture

Plan on making more, just need to find some of that elusive free time. :)

Thanks, both of you. It's all been added, good stuff.

Here are some more tutorials and tips, you can access them through here or directly over here.

Only ask that if anyone enjoys those tutorials, to thank the authors in the forums. ;)

Updated. And, I've added a little note for the low-poly section mentioning which program was used for the Tutorial.

A few site for free sprites and tiles
