I found it rather amusing trying to make new textures. This one I occasionally created playing with texturizing and custom filters. I call it "black gold":





Good thing Vavoom allows to add those easily as a separate pngs right inro pak archive (no need dealing with WAD and palette convertion). Thus developers may add their own textures easliy, only thing they need to consult others with is texture name (that is - filename) - to avoid conflicts.

Heh, couple of banners:

More experiments now "color-burning" original Hexen textures:

bloody splashes.. ewww


burnt holes, simple and with mysterious glow beyond -

Love the idea about the holes in the wall! You should do that, and perhaps the blood-splatter, for some other of the original wall textures.

Not bad.

With PNG transparencies things can be much, much better for textures, since we aren't limited anymore to using just the Hexen pallete , so it'll make things more colorful.

Which in turn should make things look better in maps where few textures are used. The trick they used in the original Unreal is very good.
