  • Steampunk Textures – Set 10

    I’m clearly on a roll! Here is the next installment of the current collection of Steampunk textures, this time walls with pipes and portholes. There are 30 + 5 textures in all, the +5 being transparent versions of five other textures. You’ll find them on the Second Life Marketplace, and of course in-world at the…

  • Steampunk Textures – Set 9

    Another set of Steampunk textures, following on from the Instrument Panel textures of last week. This is a collection of (mainly) wall and door textures, suitable for engine-rooms and exteriors. A quick preview: As usual, you’ll find these on the SL Marketplace, and in-world at the Templar Creations store. SL Marketplace page Main Store You’ll…

  • Steampunk Textures – Set 8

    This is the first of a new set of textures designed for Steampunk vessels, and will be followed up by sets of wall textures for engine rooms and for living quarters (you can catch a glimpse of one these in the sample picture below). There are 40 textures in all, at 256×256 size. They tile…

  • 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…

  • Second Life Prim Lights – 3

    Full-bright and Glow This is the last article in my short (and rather infrequent) series about lights in Second Life. I’m going to take a look at two elements of textures which are often used in conjunction with lights, and which are also widely misunderstood and misused. Let’s start with Full-bright. This can be switched…

  • 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…

  • 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…

  • 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…
