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).

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.

    That'll be what I posted at 08/06/00 04:19, as you obviously didn't read
it, I'll repeat what I said :

"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."

    As I said elsewhere, PSP was mucking me about as well, so I just wanted
to get the damn thing posted and myself off to bed (it being about 4:00am at
the time).

    Sorry - free connection, PSP, the late hour, not being able to find my
archive disks and feeling tired, oh and spending the last couple of days
downloading the entire back-catalogue of p.b.i [1] all played a part in the
big upload.

[1] I've never really subscribed to p.b.i before (dipped in every now and
again when I knew there were posts in there that I wanted to see), so I
decided to get the whole thing, see what I'd been missing out on. Damn!
There's some great stuff in here, and I've still got twenty or so thousand
posts unread.

One of the advantages to using Netscape for news group reading. The
text loads first and then the attachment. If you just want to read
the text wait for it to load and then hit the escape button which
will stop the attachment from loading.
