I don't want to discourage you from detail - your textures are amazing in that respect
All I mean is that if every part of every texture is highly detailed, then the overall look of a map based on the texture set will be too "busy".
I do think that in some particular cases, the borders between different parts/layers of your textures are too rough and "cut-out". If your blending was as slick as your detailing, then these would be flawless "special-use" textures.

Very nice Brasso. I think textures that detailed work better as skins for models though, have you considered doing that? It looks bad to see a ton of 3d parts on a wall, only to find that the wall is perfectly flat once you're standing next to it.
Regardless of how you decide to use them, you have a ton of skill. Keep it up.

tnx man....much appreciated.....i skin (hatch) autocad models all the time....different animal for gaming tho...but its a thought.....but you did make me think of something that might clarify things a bit....when i build my wall brushes, most of these textures are built to wrap on non-verticaly or horizontally flat walls etc....it took me awhile to get the mehtods of building the whole picture, as they kinda work with each other to produce the wall....follow?....it occured to me just a moment ago, that i hadnt really made that point before....and as i havent released a map for public flogging yet, well, who the hell woulda known??...
follow?

Doc have you considered rotating some of your images 180* personally i think this one would look killer upside down.. course i am no expert, but it might increase your repertoire by a few if you did so. be good

another consideration
the holes, all seem pointed the same direction (IE up)
if this were a wall, you would see up in the top hole, and down in the bottom, maybe you could try to see how it would look???

new suggestion:
top slot=small
middle slot=large
bottom slot=medium
dull the reflection a touch more as well perhaps?

no, i retain my original sexual persuasions ![]()
and did you even notice? i re-arranged your hole locations, i didn't just flip the texture over ![]()
i apologize if i offended, but it was easier to edit the photo than to write it out.
