" So I generally present what we call BSP models ( because when processed they are textures that are meant to tile along a BSP wall of the level designers choosing) in tidy squares like this."

do you know what size textures are used - 512, 1024 or 2048?

[Kevin Johnstone]

Generally 1024's ingame, I process at 2048 to allow the texture artist to author at that size before scaling it down manually or importing at size and allowing the engine to LOD is down.

Your work is fantastic really! Very inspiring I do have a question, however. I admittedly haven't used ZBrush much in the past, but it looks like we will be starting to incorporate it more heavily into our pipeline at work..so yay for me! Anyways, I have been trying to create tiling textures using Zbrush (similar to the tiling stone ones in this thread), and I am wondering how you went about doing it? A very short step by step of the basics of your approach would be much appreciated.

Cheers!
