Hi, all.

I'm wondering, is there any guides out there for creating terrain textures, something like on this screenshot:

Basically I just need textures for grassy plain terrain, without those mountains and rivers.

I've tried to ask google, but it won't cooperate. Didn't find any good guides at all, and all the textures I found didn't match my needs exactly. So will appreciate links to drawing terrain textures.

Thanks in advance,

Denis.

What you want isn't 3D but 2D, Google: "How to make seamless textures." or "How to make seamless grass textures."

What software are you using for textures?

I'm using mostly blender/gimp. I've tried to google "Making seamless terrain textures", but most of it isn't focusing on what I need, which is kinda isometric view from high distance, like on the screenshot I've posted.

You might want to try googling "tiling grass texture" or "how to make a tiling texture" or "tiling texture gimp". I made a grass tile just the other day but I didn't need or want a seamless one, since I was going for a checkerboard look. But mainly you make a grass texture in layers. Bottom layer can be a solid color, dark green or brown. Above that you need a lighter grass color, then a still lighter highlight color. The perspective is determined by the shape of the grass strokes, and that's also the challenging part to make tile seamlessly. A slightly different option is to make transparent tiles, and lay them over a flat or procedurally textured color field the size of the whole map. That could have been done in your example, but it's hard to tell the difference between a finalized field of seamless tiles and a field that's one big color area with some texturing applied.

Thanks for all the suggestions!

Gonna work now :)
