Custom map textures?

[NoNick]

I'm trying to do a custom map, doing the height map is easy, but i can't do squat about textures.Do you know any texture generating programs?

Hey, check out thread, we talk about making textures a bit. If you have a digital camera, you could always try taking a picture of something and using it as a texture, though I'm not sure how good it would look

Currently i'm trying to make an artic map, it has 10 almost transparent layers, big blood spills and a bone behind all of the layers :). It's coming out pretty well now, just have to do the Occupancy map.


Update: Iceberg (the map) is ready! who wants to test it?

I once accidentaly deleted the height map, so i turned a copy of the texture into greyscale. it looks better than it was, actually

I don't think I'd be any good at making a texture myself, but I have lots of satellite imagery around that I could build textures from. ABout how many kilometers across is a level?
