I live in the middle of the mojave desert, well not really the middle. Anyway, I was thinking I could take some photos with my digital camera (pretty high end camera) of the from a distance. Then import the pics into photoshop, crop the pics to get a "photo" quality texture of desert terrain. I have access to several different types of natural desert terrain (rock types, sands, etc.) I just thought by taking the pics from a distance, we could have an accurate representation of the desert. Please let me know if you think this would work.

In one word, yes.

Take as many photos as you can from different areas to get different terrain in it. Let me know when you got some images ready to see.

Thanks.

I can do two different approaches, one 1 can crop photos to a desired piece or I can just shoot jpg files and you can crop the areas you want. Let me know. I'll probably start today.

Anything you can get for us is very welcome.

Do you have a web space where to store them for me to pick up?

Lot of large images is pretty fishy to send through email. Hmm maybe we can sweet talk Widowmaker to help us out with ftp

Anyways let me know when you get some images ready.

Hey Snakeman. Got those shots we discussed. Probably about 20 Megs. Hopefully we can use them to make some "photo" realistic landscapes. contact me so we can get them transferred. davidlburnette@hotmail.com

I guess I should say thanks. However, I hate living in the desert. It's hot, dry, and we have no changing seasons. I'm originally from Tennessee which I hear is very much like Germany/Austria in appearance. Do you know if Snakeman received the pics, and if these pics will help any? I haven't heard anything from him.

I hate living in snow, ice and the mess between snow and water

Yeah we got the files. Thanks much appreciated. I think those come in handy when making new tiles, it gives good basic reference.

If you got more, you know the ftp address where to send them

Thanks!

Snakeman can I get hold of thos photos? They would come handy when making mountain tiles for ODS. Where can I get other textures that are used in ODS theatre?

I'll throw them into the server, same dir as earlier.

How about if I'll zip up all the H tiles for you, save at least some space and put them into the server also, same dir again?

I'll trade a little 125 degree temp (farenheit) for a little snow and ice. I'll probably have some time to shoot some more pics in the next couple of days. I'll get some shots of the changing terrain from desert to mountains. It's pretty strikink to see the gradual change from desert floor to conifers forrest.
