    Sorry about the size, BTW, once I'd said I'd post an image of this I
realised I couldn't find the source and this image was the only decent one
I've got.

  Scott, I've attached your image file, converted to JPEG. It compressed
down to 42k from the 562k (575,492 bytes) of your original PNG with
little noticeable difference in the image (I saw none). Could you please
cancel the big file from this group? TIA.

Thankyou Alan, the reduction of this image is much appreciated.  I had been
skipping by it for the time being but wanted a look, especially since I
presumed it was intended for image mapping.  But alas I couldn't read the
original message post without also downloading (often the case with
newsreaders it seems) the attachment so I wasn't sure of that.

About the image, has a sort of silt stream bottom look to it to my eyes.  Like
shallow water flow over mud.  The individual sections I meant of course.

That's very  nice. Looks like flagstones with a wash of mud over.
How was it done?

Very nice texture. I hope you'll share the source.

Cheers for all you comments,

    I've found the source (attached) and have done a couple of close-ups and
adjusted the texture slightly. The first attatched image is with the
original texture, and the second is with the tweaked texture.

    The texture itself is quite simple - it's a combination of
texture_mapping and multi-layer textures. Each different element in the
overall texture (the flat rough surface, the smoother, wrinkly one and the
greenish slime/dirt) is a seperate texture in itself, these are then mapped
and layered with and over each other. Take a look at the source, you'll see
what I mean.
    I was trying for a slimey, grimey, slightly weathered paving slab, those
'natural-rock-a-like' ones that are all uneven and textured. It's not quite
there - I've really got to work on that slime/grime, but I think the feel of
the rest of it is about right.

    When I get it looking right I'll post a sample of the corroded metal
texture I'm working on for my web-site - texture mapping a-go-go.

    And look - much smaller download this time - as well as me not being
able to find the source, PSP was choking on export to .jpg before, but a
re-install sorted that little one out (though, now I think about it, it
might just have needed a re-boot).

Five hundred and odd K was a bit uncalled for, do you own

The fact that you've canceled it doesn't mean that some of us havn't already
had to pay for d/ling it. 

I think an appology would be appropriate here.
