There is a possibility he is using a stencil he created of a minecraft block and then editing each texture for the sides to fit the shape. To me, that would be the easiest way to do it.
I believe he takes the textures into Photoshop, resizes them and tilts them. It's pretty easy to do once you have the right proportions in mind to apply the percentages of distortion on each side, but I have to say he really manages to make it as clean as it can be.
And indeed the saplings are just beautiful !
Spec_oups has got it right Cubies. All just done in photoshop by tilting the texture. This is how I briefly explained it to someone else who asked...
"Ah that's all done in photoshop starting off with the 2D texture. I copy and paste the texture 3 times for all the visable sides. Then I stretch and position them all so I have block. Then I do a quick lighting and shadow pass over it so that it doesn't look flat and sad."
More specifically. I shrink the width of the two side textures to 75% of their original width then change the vertical tilt of each by 25 degrees. That gives me the two sides so just simply place them next to one another. For the top texture I rotate it 45 degrees and change the height to 50% the original height and adjust the width to 107% original width. Then place that above the other two side textures and voila. The lighting pass is a little more complex but is basically just some shadowing at the base, making one of the side textures darker then the other one and make the top texture a little lighter.
Would you ever consider making custom textures for donations?
I did a while ago try to think up ways I could incentivise donations with rewards of some sort. I wondered if I could do a monthly piece of fan-art or make early access to unfinished mod support. I've seen other people do things like keep 3D texture support only for patreon donators but I don't like the idea of only donators having access to what could be considered the completed texture pack. By offering 3D texture support for paying people it makes the free version feel incomplete.
But honestly I didn't know what people would want and in the end I decided that the work involved in making rewards for donation wouldn't be worth the increased return I'd get.
Ohhhh my. This is GORGEOUS. Going to download and try it out RIGHT now.
Edit: Ok. I am loving the heck outta this. It's like Doku and JohnSmith had a baby. The only thing I've noticed so far, is that there does seem to be a SMALL partial seam on the spruce logs which is more noticeable in the highlighting. Not sure if anyone's mentioned it, sorry if they have! Keep up the awesome work
Perhaps a Patreon reward system where for X number of dollars you will release X number of extra textures, and higher donations can also recieve things such as being in a private chat to make suggestions, seeing textures early, requesting certain textures or addons, etc?
Asking for custom textures, isn't that normally just by request? Most WIP packs i've followed just say that they'll work on specific textures or compatibility when they're done with the main pack?
Shouldn't a concept like that just be common sense? -.-
Can't download the pack due to the god-awful "Select all images with <whatever>" authorization--that never works properly--Mediafire have started using lately.
I'm sure grog is just busy, worry when it gets to a month without a reply...
Yes, that's right! We not have to get worry because he not post another update, on the week. All of us have to belive on him and continue to wait until a next version of the resource pack

Curse PremiumAnother small update unfortunately but at least tools and saplings are completed now.
Ahhh thanks so much. You're awesome.
Ah oops. Yea I imagine they'll be a few typos kicking around. I'm good at typos.

Thanks. I'm looking to get some doors done next and I'll need to do them in 3D so I'll have a shot but if I can't get it working I'll be sure to ask.
It should work, yes.
Thanks!
