ZEN METAL Textures Promo Pack

ZEN METAL TEXTURES

PERMISSIONS

This is a promotional item; therefore, you are permitted to give away or resell the textures IN THEIR ORIGINAL PACKAGING as you wish. My motivation is to get the name Zen Metal out there, and it would benefit me if you gift it to as many people as you can (even as a part of a larger product bundle).

Otherwise, you are free to use the textures normally on any creation of yours. Please note that this permission only applies to THIS promotional package, not my other textures, let alone other products.

512x512 AND 1024x1024 VERSIONS

The package includes two versions of each texture; a bigger and a smaller file. Always, wherever you can, please use the 512 version. Only when the situation calls for it, try the other one. If you cannot see a visual difference, use the 512.

The tiles are square but behave differently on prim and some mesh surfaces. For instance, if you build with ZimberLabs, the textures must be scaled from the "horizontal/vertical scale" to scale properly rather than the "repeats per meter" field, which works wonders on prim surfaces. (The higher the number, the smaller the repeat.)

The images have been optimized to reduce the lag created by loading textures.

NORMAL and SPECULAR MAPS

Each normal and specular map has been recreated for the resized main image so that it certainly brings out the beauty of the image. (They don't always work quite as nicely by just resizing.) They might work across the size, however, in some cases, if you want to play around.

You don't have to use the maps, but they are there if you want them or need them. Using the specular and normal maps or one or the other will create an entirely different look to the surface. I feel the star one might look better without the shine maps. Sample objects are included for quick viewing of the shine maps on. However, you do need advanced lighting models enabled in your viewer to see any difference from a normal texture.
