Borg Texture

[FourChan]

Anyone have a High Resolution Borg Texture? I mean something off the normal scaling grid like....2000x2000 or higher, etc in that area? It's for a project I am going to start working on pretty soon.

I'd recommend going no higher than 2048 when finding a texture. Some computers cannot handle high resolutions (like I found out with JTK's Sovereign).

Well, I am not going to use the full texture lol. I just plan on using a high resolution one to work with but I'll resize it correctly.

BC will only accept powers of 2 textures, so 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, etc, etc... And the most efficient are square textures. Some of the newer cards (ok, any card newer than 3 years) can handle non-power of two textures, but at a price, they will fill up the rest of the texture with wasted memory. On older cards they even fill up a non-square (so instead of a 4x4 or 512x512 you have, say, a 512x64) texture. Or not show it at all.

Interesting.  Why do you suppose that is?

I was just requesting a huge texture, something high resolution so I can work with it. I already know what BC will handle etc etc. Sorry but this isn't a debate on what's going to work in BC or not, if Jimmy can remove those posts it would be helpful, I just am looking for a  simple Borg texture from a Borg Cube in High Resolution.

Thanks.

I take it that you are part of the 10 people who don't know what binary numbers are. ;)
There are loads of optimizations (ie. higher framerates) when you can assume that they are.

I think that confusion arised due to the fact that you originally posted in Modding.

[FourChan]

Oh well, I was working on a project and was gonna post it in Modding. Well change this thread in modding with the results

[MLeo]

If it's, eventually, for BC, then it can go in Modding, otherwise we have the Graphics Arts Forum.

Okay. So does anyone have a pretty high resolution image of the Borg Texture?
