I can more or less make the texture myself, the main issue that i have is that i can never get them to look 3d. Beveling the images doesn't seem to work, it just makes the image look like a button, not to mention the highlight issues. since you have done tiles in the past, any idea on how to achieve a similar effect that is on existing tile set?

Honestly, I started my tiles as like half light half dark with black on the sides for a straight up tile. Like I'd do the shades really basic, then slowly add all the details and such.. should probably try that and see where it gets ya. I mean cuzz I made tilesets like these.

jab u should make a tutorial on how to make tiles since the ones we have now aren't that great.

It's all well and good adding a 3D look to tiles that are very simple (like Jabs above), however when you've got a much more complex tile-set adding the 3D look requires everything be done completely by shading. Lord, I suggest you talk to ThunderJam and Aquarius - also, if you place your basic tiles (the texture you mentioned etc) that you'd like, I could have a go at making them suitable 45 and 22.5 degree tiles with shading although I must admit if you want some damn good tiles from my experience ThunderJam is the damn man, he's given me probably one of the best tile-sets I've seen in a *very long time. Also, I was just wondering are you looking for a complete new tile-set, or a ghost tile-set that is similar to the previous one (so you don't have to retile quite as much), I've not been to DSB in a while but I remember the tiles being quite arbitrary which means something of the same caliber to be recreated would mean a lot of care taken with the new tiles placements.

 

Good luck,

I like DSB's current tileset.

Amen. I agree with Aquarius, but I do understand change sometimes.
