What is your favorite texture from classic doom?

[fai1025]

COMPBLU my beloved

[Breezy]

[SPG]

This one and its ilk:

Its OG usage gave Hell something more than just the fire and brimstone vibe, which I like.

[SFFlowerBoy]

Fireblu obviously lol. 

[Sonikkumania]

Computer panels that are found in E1M1, and also Gargoyle bricks in E2M4.

[Uni]

Can't make a map without liquids nowadays but if we're speaking wall-textures then I'll go with GSTONE (and its marble cousins).

 

 

[Solmyr]

SHAWN2, METAL1 and WOOD6.

[Nootrac4571]

These two from Doom 1:

 

 

They're so good - it's a tragedy that they're missing from Doom 2's texture set.

 Seconded.

SKINTEK1. Especially if you start blending it with TEKWALL4 and SKINTEK2.

As FIRBLU was already mentioned, I'll share my number two:

Although I never use it and I see it seldom used I really like this one:

 

 

 

 

 

this. iirc i first saw it on e3m3. i stopped and looked at it for minutes, being so amazed by these tortured souls in hell or what they're supposed to be. keep in mind that doom's graphics offered a never seen quality and immersion back then.

 

also, i'm a fan of all those skintech textures, as they're examples of doom being a nasty fusion of demonic and cybernetic stuff.

I give PLANET1 the love Doom II never did and have been almost since I started mapping

 

I never leave home without it

(My standby answer is FIREBLU but nobody ever talks about PLANET1 and how pretty and cool it is)

 

PLANET1 is absolutely wonderful, I started using SLADE to add the screens to different background textures so I can implement it in even more situations.

[horselessheadsman]

Off the cuff I'd say FIREBLU since it seems like a visual metaphor for hell's bizarre other-worldliness, but there are other favorites.

 

 

The texture whose presence requires no explanation no matter the surroundings.

[Killerratte]

About as important as any support texture, but more subtle and very effective in techbases, when used correctly.

 

[thelamp]

this flat looks good with just about any texture, and tiles beautifully around any shape. not the most eye catching but very versatile

[TheFocus]

[noob_killer012345678]

BIGBRIK

[Dubbag]

Any color of ZIMMER

[Arrowhead]

My favorite is probably COMPBLU, my favorite to use while mapping is METAL.

[InfinityWad]

BROWN1 looks really good if you combine it with the right ceiling and floor.

[SMG_Man]

BLOODSEA.WAD from the Master levels really endeared me to the wooden textures with the ribbons

 

I also love the versatility of FLAT22 - it can be a light, a teleporter, a damaging sector like in E2M2; the possibilities are endless!

[Sneezy McGlassFace]

I really like SKINFACE

The box art of Master Levels is cool as heck.

[MODER"1"]

SKY3

[joepallai]

BSTONE2

[YoshizinGordin]

CEMENT6, SKIN2, and SP_ROCK1

[Dragonsbrethren]

TVSNOW

[SuyaSSS]

SUPPORT3 my beloved

[SilentD00mer]

SUPPORT2, SUPPORT3, STARG3 and METAL (all variants)

[iori]

ZIMMER8, duh
