HI! I'm Freeman and I'm creating a fully open source texture library composed of base materials that you can use as they are or modify to create more unique and complex ones. I currently have:

-Wood
-Concrete
-Steel
-Iron
-Copper
-A paint overlay to apply over any other material.

I would like to make at least 4 or 5 more for the first release. What base materials would be useful for you?

Boost are really appreciated.

Indoor:
- White tiles
- Generic carpet

Nature/Terrain:
- Dirt
- Grass
- Forest floor (Leaves and small sticks)

Outdoor:
- Sheet metal (for tin roofs)
- Asphalte
- Bricks

@fell

Tiles seems like a good idea, and I can make the color configurable and maybe some things like the how uneven they are.

Carpets sounds a good addition for next release, which will be basically fibers/cloths/leather that i hope to make pretty configurable.

Nature and terrain will come later, cause i still to find a good way to generate rock formations that looks natural and is scalable for other surfaces.

I can definitely make sheet metal roofs/sheets. Count on them.

@fell

Asphalt sounds perfect for this release. You'll have it. 😃

Making good bricks and not just something that looks kind of like brick may go for the next release too, cause again i want a "Brick wall generator" and not a brick wall. It will be kind of cool. I already worked with that concept in the past.

Thank you so much for your feedback!

@YoSoyFreeman You're welcome! I just thought about what kind of surfaces I most often need but never find. I'm looking forward to your work. :)

@fell Hi! I been thinking about creating the metal sheet shape as a normal map that you can use as a detail texture with any other metal texture, so you are not limited to one metal sheet for the whole game. How you see it in terms of user friendlyness?

good thing about this is you could use any combination of metal, the classic curved shape and the paint you like to create exponentially more combinations.
