Well, I would have been here to comment on this idea sooner but my windows XP regestry melted down, luckly I had everything but my most recent photoshop images backed up.   Had to install a second opperating system to even get to the files (in total 30 + hours of texture work source files).

Great idea for a new forumn, I know that I would use it for sure (that or continue to toss my postes in the general banter section).   I think a lot of people would also to be honest, if even for simple questions like how to make an image tile properly (I'm sure we could make a tutorial on something like that though.)   The key part though is in the naming, if it where named "texturing" or something along those lines then you would get all sorts of questions about how to align, rotate and god knows what else not related to actually making textures.   I guess it wouldn't hurt but it would seem to fit more in the "half-life editing" section.

I can think of all sorts of questions people might have regarding textures and how to create and minipulate them, some people may just want to know how to create a simple bump map.   As some of you pointed out, textures have always had the power to make or break a project (any situation that requires some degree of skill in creating and applying 2-d art).   HL-2 will depend greatly on the 2-d art applied to the geometry.

So as Orpheus predicted my vote is 100% PRO

-BTW my XP regestry melted shortly after my last texture post, I didn't get to see anyones feedback on them, once I get my machine fully rebuilt I'll have to repost them (sorry to anyone who gave input)

I back the idea, only so we can flood it with concept art!

knowing you, you were catching screenshots of me today
