Am I the only one who hates the default wall textures?

[DMPhobos]

I have an intense dislike of brown textures because of the default textures, they get quite tiresome to watch and i tend to avoid them.

So that means you hate the redrock maps from scythe?

The maps are still fun to play. I just prefer Alm's map aesthetics when he doesn't go full red.

The key is a healthy balance of colors, every single texture in the game will look crap if you apply it to everything.

What about BROWNHUG?

Off the top of my head, it could be used for the sides of dirt patches or something? I mean, if you want raised dirt like, say, for a grave or something, that could come in handy.

BROWNHUG seems to go with the NUKE* textures.

Wasteland caused by radiation killing the plant life?

What if you use BROWNHUG for the entire map?

[VGamingJunkie]

Then it'll probably look very ugly, as would any texture if you overly use it. In my opinion, a good map has a good variety, not too much of any one color.

BROWNHUG has a funny name. I think it just wants some hugs.

If someone had a version of SOMEMONG that was colored normally, it could make for a good horror effect. Put it into a lovely looking painting with normal coloring then have the SOMEMONG version pop in front of a hell landscape. So it's like the house is being corrupted.

I wonder how Carn would react knowing that his face would be the antagonist of a horror WAD. Then again, it seems his face is already the antagonist of Terry WADs.

Not every single wall need to have a unique texture. It isn't even realistic to begin with and looks even more stupid than a uniform wall paint.

IMO, I like very much used Doom2 textures, even if I'm getting a little bored.

Also, I use BROWNHUG texture like default texture when I make my layouts, it's a pretty homogeneous texture, that facilitates the mapping.

I never had a problem with them. Not completely to my liking, but I can't really think of anything better.

I am talking about the different variants of this one:http://www.kieranmillar.com/doom/tutorial/images/dbtut29.png

I have never liked it that much because it just looks so bland and generic compared to the other more complex and better drawn wall textures. I almost never use them in my maps.

You mean STARTAN&CRACKLE?
I dunno, they kinda universal when you don't know what texture you wanna use (because of poor choice).
