OPQ Stonewall Textures

Tess Juel · Post by **Tess Juel** » Tue Apr 16, 2024 2:51 pm

I love stone wall textures. They fit just about any scene and time period and there is so much variety among them, everything from piled up heaps of natural stones to sharply dressed blocks and in all kinds of colors.

Here are the ones I've managed to list on Kitely Market so far. Starting with some really posh ones:

And one a bit rougher but still with dressed stones:

Stonewalls 22 and 23 are a set of big, chunky block of stone. The difference between the two are the bond. The Stonewall 22 textures have "running bond" with staggered layers, the Stonewall 23 ones are "stack bond" with the layers aligned.

Stack of Stones 01-03 are similar but with only one stone wide and intended for pillars and such. Stack of Stone 02 also has another trick up its sleeve, it has no vertical seams and tiles very well so you can use it to create walls made of really wide stone slabs.

On to natural or naturalish stones. The masons who made the walls these two texture sets are based on did take some care selecting stones that were reasonably square and probably did a little bit of basic dressing of them too.

Dry stonewalls, with no mortar to bind the stones, may seem primitive but they are actually some of the most impressive building techniques we have. The wall is only held together by gravity yet when properly done it can stand for hundreds, even thousands, of years. (In RL that is. I can not guarantee that your opensim wall is still there a hundred years from now no matter what texture it has.)

I made a special version of the Stonewall 07 set with grass along the top and bottom. I can do this with the other stonewall textures too if somebody needs it. And of course, I can also do textures with grass along the top or bottom only.

Here are two really old walls. The first one is based on a photo of an embankment in Northern Norway with typical Northern European grey stone and lots of lovely moss.

The second one is rally, really old. It's based on a photo from Scarlino, a medieval hilltop village in Italy.

My Stonewall 17 set is based on a classic open source texture, the stonewall from Linda Kellie's "Tess house" set. I totally fell in love with the structures of the stones of that texture but although it's technically seamless it has too many obvious artifacts to be really tileable.

I decided to fix that and while I was at it, I also added some color variations and a normal map.
