After fussing with the STUCCO texture a bit, I decided to have a look at the original, and, what do you know, the tiling problem is there too. That's where it came from. My texture is faithful down to having the same bad up-down tiling issue.

I think I should get rid of the problem in the high resolution version, don't you think?

We'll be waiting for you...:ebil:
I'll show off a quick preview, since I hit some random button in PS that futzed up my hotkeys, and can't do anything else until I get it fixed...

I'm beginning to think this might be something better added into an extras set. Who knows how many people have used the keeper set for, say, an old abandoned Hammerite library. Having glyphs there might look a little off theme.
Does look neat, though. I think I remember the Keeper bookshelves in TDS having something similar.

Yep...The glyph-trimmed version is a welcomed extra, but not as a restoration/Hi-Rez simulation candidate.

All those overhanging books makes it looks like the bookshelf is about four inches deep.

...or they're placed on the shelves haphazardly. Which, considering it's an old neglected bookshelf, isn't too out of theme.
I can change that fairly easily, make it so only a couple are hanging off the shelf. Thing is, I kinda like the variety it gives to the texture.

I agree with ZB, the shelves are too shallow...Fix it!...:mad:

There ain't no pleasing you people. :mad:
Alright, don't think it'll look as good, but I'll change them. I'm doing the broken shelf right now. Once it and the books above it are done, the base texture is complete. I'll post it for approval, then doing the final grunging up and color tweaks.
I'm also thinking about uploading the bare shelf with the group structure complete along with my book sheet. Kind of as a make-your-own-bookshelf kit. I'm hoping that if I do this, you'll all do my work for me on the next couple. :P

Yep. Too many overhang. Also the glyphs don;t belong on a replacement texture. The books are just in the Keeper family, they are not exclusively Keeper, in fact they aren't used in any OM for a Keeper area that I can think of.
Also remember there is a book switch which needs to be able to be put on a bookcase without looking like it doesn't belong. You may want to re texture that object to fit in.

Mine/Stucco. Better.
