Textures and Stuff

Comming up with textures for this has posed several important problems.

1) I have no idea how to make them.
2) There isn't that much to actually go on. Honestly, take a look at this. (Taken from a screenshot from the UFOPedia)
That's at 6 times the actual size. It's not much to go on and I don't know how well it will translate into a FPS made with a modern engine.

3) I have no artistic skill what so ever. My brother got all of that. I got the ability to hold my breath for three minutes, I think he won.

These are my solutions.
1) Thank god for the Valve Developer Wiki, it make take a while to understand it but I think I've learned the basics of texturing well enough to get the textures into the game.
2) I'll just have to use what I have as a base for the textures and try to make the best of them.
3) Meh. Nothing I can do unless I can fine someone to do the textures for me anyway.


It's actually not as bad as I feared. It's a little cartoony but I think it might just work. Next I'm going to try on getting the doors to work.
