Whaaaoow. Just ran across this through a Google search. Amazing ores man. Really, really nice. Love the stone too. Hoping you release a WIP file with what you have so far.
My only crit is the transition from ore to stone. It's a little stark and outlined looking. Don't know if you use Photoshop or not but one of the techniques I use for this area is an overlay layer which I paint in black and white very subtly following the existing stone texture to give the ore the look of being embedded in the stone. I can show you an example of what I'm talking about if you're interested. I have a really nice variable hard edge brush I use.

Actually I agree to a point they are a little outlined looking, and if I can find something to work I would have, and I use Gimp, It's free and its still high quality .
So sure! would love an example, all the more is better.

I've never used Gimp before. Does it allow for layers with effects like Overlay? I did up something quick which hopefully shows what I'm talking about.

Actually that does not look to bad, and yes it allows for layers I just need to learn to use them, never thought about using white in a mix like that.

Thank you and ill see if I can try that.
Cool. The key to the layer is that it's set to "overlay" so the textures underneath show through. The brush needs to be hard edged too. Too often I see people use a soft airbrush and it just looks terrible.
I'm not sure if you have a Wacom tablet but that helps tremendously too. I couldn't imagine doing this with a mouse.
Well as it stands now, that's not a technique for me to use, first and foremost it would require me to redo my ores, and second I don't think its me, I like my ores and although I like that imbedding technique I think im going to stay with mine, I thank you for the tips, and helping
Ok so I am working on the last 2 out of 4 for cinnabar, now Cinnabar is in thaumcraft and in gregtech however because of forge dictionary for the ultimate pack it default to gregtech.
Amber I have finally found ores that I really like so I am working on 4 of those textures, redstone and nikolite are paused because I don't like anything ive found, my original textures I like the best but not enough that I want to keep them.
Cinnabar Done :), one amber done working on the last 3.
I also have been messing with infused stone, making it match the stone texture and 256 bit was a pain but I think I have finally mix together the right potion
Ok so pictures will be coming as soon as they are taken of one in game cinnabar and one in game amber.
Still have not totally completed the amber, I've been working over this weekend so nothing much done
Only had to work half a day today so might finish up the amber.
Just stumbled across this while browsing to update textures. Looks very nice, it will be nice to have matching ores in game, I hate when one packs ores look completely different from another. Do you have any plans to work on ingots as well? I wouldn't think it would be hard to do ingot or block forms as you already have the color for the raw ores. Seems it would tie in nice if you did ores, ingots, and blocks so they all match. Do you have a rough estimate on when you will be releasing a version of this?

Honestly, I have not got much done because of work, I worked last weekend as well and today, don't really have a time on when I will release it, and yeah I will eventually make ingots match, cant have only iron and gold HD lol.
you should make the uranium ore you said you didn't like into the emerald ore ingame.
Maybe, but that is uranium so it would be weird for me.
I was thinking about doing the emeralds, ruby, and sapphire similar to that of diamond, don't really know yet.
And Last Thank you very much Maxy340
And those are the real ores/minerals cant help if they look like food not my problem lol
Btw I will take an ingame screen shot of the infused stone, after making it HD it looks really cool.
Sorry guys I've been extremely busy with work, today I have off, ill get a picture of infused stone.
I think I am going to setup a small texture pack/ resource pack that changes what ores I have finished, I do not know if I am going to finish this or not, I am wanting to study programming and thus would need what little time I have to learn it.
Looks very nice, even if Red Power does not get updated, you could use the marble and basalt textures for the abysmal and quarried stone from railcraft I think, as they are basically the same colors.
Well, it would be sad to see you not finish it, but i think many people, myself included would be happy to use what you do have. I know I am looking forward to whatever you do release.

But seeing how redpower might not be updated any longer kind of sad.
