Blender Texture Fest

here are the accounts you asked for

ftp account (needed to upload photos/textures, or to search for photos.):

server*: blender3d.ch
username: 6529_tex
pw: elysiun

*the hostname should work. if you need the ip, just ping it. for those who dont have a ftp prog. either use explorer (windows), konqueror (linux), etc. just a explorer who supports ftp. now you can access with the following adress:
ftp://6529_tex:[email protected]/

http access (to search for photos):
you can access the uplodaded pics with one of the following urlā€™sā€¦

http://photos.blender3d.ch/
http://tex.blender3d.ch/
http://textures.blender3d.ch/

go to the correct folder (or create one) and upload the pic. .JPG or .PNG pics please! thx

tx manā€¦thatā€™s a great thing you made for the community!

Iā€™ll try to take some pic tonightā€¦1600x1200ā€¦about 150k each

no problem :slight_smile: I really dont need the space yet. you are allowed to create a directory at your ownā€¦ just to say it once moreā€¦

I will have to borrow my sister in laws digital camera. Mine is of the cheesy logitech variety. She said sheā€™d loan it to me though, so I am going to try and get some tommorow. Hopefully before the weather turns anyway. :wink:

Chimera, what a great thing you have done.

To the moderators, can this get moved somewhere where more people might see it and be able to use it? Or make it sticky so it doesnā€™t get buried?

I hope some ppl will upload some. As I said yesterdayā€¦ I dont have a digicam yet. :confused: maybe I can get oneā€¦ but not today

Thanks for moving this thread, whoever did it!

The ftp works fine. Thanx a lot to all who got involved in this(and those who will). It rocks!
If I had a camera, I would surely help. :frowning:
See you.

Hi guys :smiley:

I just uploaded some textures in folder Stone (which I created-missed it there).

It is just sample, I got hundrets of fotos, get bundle of them on my each travel. I have to sort them out but now I want to know, if quality, resolution ect. is accetable, In other words, whether you are interested in fotos like this.

Also I named it tol_stone_xxx. I used my nick not due to my narcistic nature, but to help myself orientate later, when somebody else upload his stones- no point download my own textuers :smiley: Maybe it would be good standard to keep by everybody, or lets find another ID system (couldn find any better now)

That an awesom idea. I wanna help, Iā€™ve got many textures I can give!!!
May be you could make it also a material fest? I also have many materials I want to share.

guys I can offer you maximum 140 megasā€¦ for whatever you like. we could also setup a searchengine. if I just had some time :slight_smile:

I aggree to Tol. A syntax would be very usefull if we want to move the hole afterwards. I dont know if a category is neededā€¦ what do you think?

either we choose

nick_category_number.jpg
or
nick_number.jpg

Hi all! great idea - I will put some of my stuff, too.

this sounds like a really exciting project ā€¦ especially if itā€™ll stay non-pay ā€¦ recently Iā€™ve been looking into finding textures ā€¦ and all the free texture sites with nice categories limit ā€¦ it would really great if we had this as a blender user feature :)) ā€¦ my camera is a junk compared to what some of you guys have (at best 1024*768 jpg) ā€¦ but I can still take a couple of photos ā€¦ and have taken in the past for artistic reasons (did some gimp work out of them) ā€¦ and would love to contribute ā€¦
I think one of the true pluses of this project would be if indeed everything was hosted at one place and thereā€™d be even the option of mass downloading in big packages (iā€™d use that to form my huge offline picture base) ā€¦ maybe an interesting idea would be that the people who subscribe as this big database is building (us :slight_smile: especially) would find a way to get weekly packs of whatā€™s been added ā€¦ or somethign like that ā€¦ so we can gradually build up ā€¦
ā€¦ anyway, back to the pics ā€¦ if youā€™re doing it ā€¦ count me in too ā€¦ I wonā€™t be able to produce anything trully high quality ā€¦ but hopefully Iā€™ll be able to compensate that with content.
greets

ye nice ideaā€¦ on the webspace Iā€™m using I have php, mysql support. so if anyone wants an account, to build a database. just ask. cu

Donā€™t be so suprised. Itā€™s great idea!!!
Look at my south neighbourā€™s site, he did it ā€¦ maybe he can help ???

ok, seems like this is on itā€™s way ā€¦ just let me know where/when I can put something up ā€¦ and Iā€™ll start doing my bit :slight_smile:
't 'd be nice if itā€™d be posted somewhere clear as it seems to get lost in long posts :slight_smile:

Thats a good one :slight_smile: I had some of those textures already, but stillā€¦
I have a usefull cam, but why should we make those pictures so amazing big? Isnā€™t it better to make a bit lower quality, so it far more easy to download? (I donā€™t say low quality).

yes I aggree BackiZ. we could make a seperated high-res folder. a 1600x1200 texutre on a object which is like 1mile away from the cam is just nonesense :slight_smile:

Scyguo :wink: ???. Donā€™t joke:) You are guru and iā€™m newbie. Next member of great polish blender community site ā€œBlenderowniaā€ - [http://www.blender.pl] Your ā€œBorutaā€ rocks!!!

ā€¦ make a bit lower quality, so it far more easy to download? (I donā€™t say low quality).
You donā€™t need to loose quality to do it more optymised for download.Itā€™s enough to change a method of compression - look at gimpā€™s jpeg compressor. We can work with our own ompression standard and redistribute images with coder/decoder as source code :).Itā€™ll be most flexible for all architectures.
