  • Castle Textures – Set 5

    It’s been a while, but finally here is a new texture set, and several more are on their way. This one is another set of castle walls, with a few flagstone floors as well.  There are a couple of walls with windows, and these come in opaque and  transparent versions. You can see them all…

  • Castle Textures – Set 4

    If you missed the TextureMania hunt, the Castle Textures set that was the gift from Templar Creations is now available for purchase. The set of textures consists of miscellaneous stone wall and wood floor textures, designed for Castle builds (although many of the floor textures could easily be used in other kinds of builds). There…

  • TextureMania Hunt

    Mandi Blanco has organised another hunt, this time dedicated specifically to textures (including sculpt textures). Naturally, Templar Creations is taking part, along with a host of other (very talented — check out the gifts page on the Texture Mania blog!) texture creators. It starts today (1 July 2010), and you can find more information and…

  • Inworldz Store

    Second Life is not the only game in town when it comes to virtual worlds. Amongst the various worlds that are based on Second Life technology, Inworldz is currently expanding rapidly and attracting a lot of attention, so I have decided to set up a store there and contribute to the growing community. If you…

  • Dark SF Textures – Set 2

    This is my second set of textures with a dark science-fiction theme (think ‘Quake’, or similar games). Lots of metal plates and piping, and a few lights and control boxes thrown in. All the textures are 512 x 512, and you can view them all at the Texture Gallery. To buy this set, either visit…

  • Texture Galleries

    It’s always been difficult to provide a good way of letting people preview a texture set before they buy it. I put samples of the textures on the Xstreet pages, but these only show a few textures, and tend to load slowly (possibly because of the amount of traffic that the Xstreet servers are dealing…

  • Going Places

    I am moving Templar Creations to a new host this weekend. The address will still remain exactly the same, and in fact if all goes well you won’t notice any changes at all. I’m hoping that the transfer will be as seamless as possible, but if the site vanishes for a while, or doesn’t quite…

  • Medieval Textures and Farmhouse

    Not one, but two new releases. They are closely related though — one is a set of Medieval Village textures, and the other is a Medieval Farmhouse which makes use of some of those textures. The Medieval Village texture set consists of 34 textures, including both transparent and non-transparent versions of the four textures which…

  • Exhibition Hall Textures – Set 1

    I recently completed a small commission project, building an exhibition hall for the Geneva Motor Show: I created a number of textures specifically for this, and I’ve taken these and improved them a bit (I think!), added some additional ones, and am now releasing them as a new texture set. Here’s a few samples, and…

  • Victorian Interiors – Set 1, Take 2

    An explanation and an announcement Charity Tearfall posted a brief, complimentary review of the Victorian Interior textures on XstreetSL (thanks!), but suggested that it would be good if the windows were transparent. Well, she’s right, it’s always useful for windows to be transparent! Unfortunately, and as you are probably aware if you are a resident,…
