Nar Shaddaa Essentials

So, this is my first real contribution to the community. A texture-pack with 14 Nar Shaddaa-style textures. And free for use. You may take a look at the download.

A few words about the story behind those textures:
Since I played the original game (Jedi Knight - Dark Forces II) I was a fan of the Nar Shaddaa setting. Unfortunately I did not like the way Nar Shaddaa was rendered in most of the following games. To me it looked too much like Corruscant most of the times.
During my work for the EdenEclipse - development team as a level designer from 2001 to 2003, I started creating textures on my own. My rolemoddels were - of course - the textures from Jedi Knight. I like textures wich are not only materials, but actually "show" something. The textures from the set have their origins in my work for EdenEclipse. Back then I had invested much time in the creation of good basic-materials. It turns out I still use these bases today.

The remake of Jedi Knight's Nar Shaddaa textures started really just out of fun. Some of these textures have been on my harddrive for more than four years. I never used them myself, because I quit mapping due to a lack of time when I started studying at the academy of music. Well, maybe they finally get to be used by YOU! ;)

Enjoy
