We texture artists around here have our little tutorials and occaisional pimping of our work, but I think it would be nice if we got our own forum. With 'Help Wanted' gone, there really isn't a place for texture requests anymore, and questions about texture software, like Korn's recent thread.

With HL2 coming up, the demand for public textures is going to be much less with orange-mapping as the accepted style, and a texture artist who is willing to make you private, hi-res textures is going to become increasingly hard to find.

We could help the fledgling artists of the forum improve (images of Orpheus-esque texture pack reviews) and arrogant bastards like me could show off our work, while having a forum that mappers can ask for textures in without being called newbs.

So who's with me?

Yeah thats a good idea.

Theres also a nice 3D/art forum at www.psionic3d.co.uk

Any way we can sticky this? I think it'd be a pretty important decision.

I dont mind bumping it, keeps it at the top and gets my posts up

Wait... Since when have I cared about my post count?

Mine do, just ask Orph, he knows I like the fifties textures.

Who doesnt?
