1.15 Sneakpeak
Added 2020-05-14 01:14:09 +0000 UTC* Textures not uploaded yet *
There's still no stable 1.15 optifine yet but it's been too long, so I started working on the new block textures anyway. Made the honey comb, bee nest, and bee hive texture. I haven't made the honey block texture yet because it's semi-transparent and kinda bugged out with ptgi shader atm.
Reworked cracked stone bricks so the cracks look nicer
Also started making some item textures like finishing up rest of the sword textures.
Since I'm bored out of my mind atm due to optifine not releasing, I'm open to any suggestion for any existing block textures that need to be reworked, or any item textures that you guys want to be made as priority.
Also again, any new updates from now on will be paid patron-only, and I'll likely change the payment method to pay up-front (doesn't affect existing patrons I think). It's disheartening and depressing to see my complete and high quality pack getting no support and showcase comparing to other shader-compatible packs, and it's tanking my motivation :(
Comments
Ye tbh I'm not really happy with the current ore textures either. The upcoming update will add some 3d glowing crystal custom model to redstone, emerald, and diamond ore, similar to how it looks in minecraft dungeons, which will help with spotting them in caves. But as for iron and gold ore I'm not really sure what to do with them, the color just blends in too well with stone color, and my stone texture are quite spammy/noisy to begin with, will probably have to mess around with it some more in the future.

2020-06-29 03:06:51 +0000 UTCIf you're still looking for suggestions... I've been playing Survival and I keep overlooking iron ore because it looks so similar to stone. If you were to make iron stand out as much as gold does now, and then make gold even more brilliant, I think it would bring the difficulty of spotting them about in line with how it is in Vanilla. P.S., I'm a new patron, can only afford $1/month right now, but I just want to say this is really fantastic work and I'm really grateful for it.

2020-05-16 07:23:28 +0000 UTCSince you asked about revisiting old blocks, I can only think of a couple maybe. I would say maybe take a look at oak planks/stairs/slabs. Those are my least favorite to build with. Possibly add more variants to grass (not the block), like other colors/types to break it up a bit.

2020-05-15 03:11:28 +0000 UTCnot really, this pack is meant to be used for general builds/maps, or survival gameplay, that's why I avoid making custom block models most of the time wanted this pack to have as varied uses as possible instead of being a specialized pack

2020-05-15 01:07:41 +0000 UTCdo you plan in the future to add furniture?
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-15 00:58:29 +0000 UTCok i will stop
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 23:03:33 +0000 UTCstop, entity/mob textures are at the bottom of my to do list because they're very hard to make, stop suggesting

2020-05-14 22:21:20 +0000 UTCI would also love to see this zombie in game https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F348888302354908676%2F&psig=AOvVaw2QQpxZZqSTjAw_q6pQisjd&ust=1589581120477000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCMD1_KOxtOkCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 22:19:25 +0000 UTCokay maybe not the last thing but I really want this in the game!!! https://www.google.com/url?sa=i&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.pinterest.com%2Fpin%2F353110427004158865%2F&psig=AOvVaw3z8anERTVQnr6NhPIWoQba&ust=1589580827150000&source=images&cd=vfe&ved=0CAIQjRxqFwoTCNiM9pewtOkCFQAAAAAdAAAAABAD this is a realistic creeper!
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 22:14:59 +0000 UTCOne last thing, I was browsing the internet to see if anyone has recreated a realistic villager for Minecraft and I found this! https://i.pinimg.com/originals/b4/5d/b5/b45db5eddb6bf6b23f97883fb1008eb8.jpg I would love to see this in the game!
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 22:11:13 +0000 UTCalso, can you make a realist small 3d model of a bee in the game? maybe something similar to this: https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/honeybee-rigged-fur-2-3d-model-1342555
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 22:07:54 +0000 UTCDo you think it's possible to change mob textures and make them realistic moving 3d models, also do you think you can make these textures available for 1,12,2? also amazing work!! your by far the best texture creature to make almost all the textures. https://www.turbosquid.com/3d-models/pig-rigged-3d-model-1258255 this is just an example but it could be similar to this.
DAVIDJONES
2020-05-14 22:01:13 +0000 UTCwould suggest using other realistic packs that has entity textures as placeholders for now like LB photorealism
patrix
2020-05-14 07:00:51 +0000 UTCeh not any time soon because they're very hard to make
patrix
2020-05-14 06:59:35 +0000 UTCWill npc and animals get textures?
2020-05-14 06:42:44 +0000 UTCSure, it might take some time tho because making armor texture that's properly baked and textured from high poly models is a lot of work.
patrix
2020-05-14 05:30:21 +0000 UTCThanks :) Eh I don't see why I would need a discord tho, I mostly care about feedbacks from my patrons and this place serves the purpose good enough. Also I dislike people spamming pics and promotes pack everywhere, just seeing more or less the same stuff over and over, that's why I don't personally do it myself. Does promoting on shader labs discord really help that much?
patrix
2020-05-14 05:28:50 +0000 UTCYou should promote your pack more, create a discord channel and maybe create a channel on the shader labs discord as well. It's really the best pack.

2020-05-14 05:11:05 +0000 UTCHi Patrix, can you do diamond armor?
Wintervale
2020-05-14 05:09:55 +0000 UTCnah this pack is custom made for pbr shaders, cba to worry about players not using shaders because the texturing/design workflow is totally different
patrix
2020-05-14 02:40:05 +0000 UTChhh, then it might be something special for none-shader player :3
2020-05-14 02:36:59 +0000 UTChuh I could try but doubt it will look good tho, beacon beams are always buggy with shaders
patrix
2020-05-14 02:34:14 +0000 UTCemm, maybe you can add texture to the light of beacon?
2020-05-14 02:30:49 +0000 UTCI think you are doing a wonderful job man, keep it up!
