Paper Birch
A couple people asked about the textures I used in Paper Birch and I said I'd explain it better on the forum.
All I did was start by painting an area one solid color, then erasing the outer layer to get a borderless block. I'm sure we've all see this before, it's a fairly common technique.
Then I added a single block on each side were I wanted intersecting lines. I then painted those lines and erased the ends that I added. Doing this a handful of times for each area painted gave the textured look in Paper Birch.
The trick is deciding which pieces you want over/under what other pieces and plan accordingly.
In all honesty it's kinda a pain and super time consuming to make a whole level with this stuff like I did in Paper Birch, but it might be cool to see a bit of it here and there in other levels.
For example, making a 3x3 block:
1. Start with a 5x5, paint it.
OOOOO
OOOOO
OOOOO
OOOOO
OOOOO
2. Erase all edges:
OOO
OOO
OOO
OOO
OOO
3. Add intersecting lines, then paint:
X
O O X
X X X X X
O O X
X
4. Clip the ends:
O O X
X X X
O O X
Done. Hope this helps.
