Questions About Textures and Models

What is the default resolution of textures?

How many blocks tall are the characters? (If not exact blocks, then how many sub-blocks?)

How many textures are there now and how many are we looking at for say 1.0?

Lastly, is there going to be a way to add your own emblem to your structures and ships, or maybe even change the color of your gear?

Sorry if this is the wrong forum.

1. I don't think there is a default, because the main texture pack is 256 by 256, while the alternate version is 32 by 32 (or some number like that). Of course, the more pixels the higher the quality, just depends on the look one would be trying to give.

2. I'm not sure, that's a good question for the devs. ED:T Xion, you changed the question while I was writing this reply, but I suppose this applies here too.

3. I'd hope so, but since that's in the future the devs should answer that one definitively.

I changed the first question, because I saw that the default was at least 256x256 from the screens. However, every model that I've seen have been something like 16x16 or 32x32. It makes me wonder how big the textures can be on the models. I'm assuming they can be as big as you want, but I'm just curious if the textures in this thread are final.

I really like the look of those textures. I feel like giving a sub-block more than one pixel of resolution per face would take away from the aesthetics of the game. (I'm under the impression it takes 32 sub-blocks to make up one block)

1. 32x32
2. 4 x 2 x 2, the character is 4 blocks tall and 2x2 blocks wide.
3. Many. Many textures, and many more with the connected textures system that makes everything look a millionty billion times better.
4. Yes.

I've been told by the devs that the engine itself would actually support higher than 256x textures. Although, it would make for absolutely massive textures when implementing stuff for connected textures and things like that. It's possible, but could be murder on you GPU.

The character models are made from smaller blocks, right? I guess my question is how many of these smaller 'sub-blocks' does it take to span the length of a regular terrain block?

Assuming it takes 32 sub-blocks to span a regular block, and the character model is around 3.75 blocks tall, as you say. Then the character model would be 120 sub-blocks tall?

Thank you for not being one of those developers that just slap a 6'+ model on all the characters. I can understand why people do it, so it's not game breaking, but it's a pretty big immersion breaker, since a large portion of men and women are significantly smaller than that. Personally, I'd love it if you could choose your character's height, but I can understand if that's something that would be difficult, or is something the devs don't want to do.

As for the texture memory requirements, I'm kind of curious how much you would need to push something higher than 256x. I'd imagine it's something that a higher end GPU might be able to handle, like a 900 series GTX or a Titan.

The little ones right

imagine if it was the big one.

OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE AWESOME .
