ksp best worst mod textures

[a123]

Curious if anyone has thought about this. What separates a great texture from a not so great texture in ksp?

Anyone have any favorites? My personal fav is the soviet pack. Least fav is the early release squad parts. It would be great if we could have some experienced modders chime in here as it might help us newbies.

Though ive not made many mods(none ive released) for ksp i have noticed colors tend grey out going from photoshop to unity. Yellows seem particularly effected.

my textures range from horrible attrocities to great works. the former is likely because im a very old modder. i made content back in the day when games had one pallete. 256 colors. period. if quake was your game, these were all brown. then later on there were those pre-normal-mapping games where i got into the habit of baking highlights into the textures. my skills probibly peaked back in 2009 and have been on steady decline since then. most of the textures ive made for ksp are less than original, they were based on my collection of stock tile patterns, many were blatant cut and paste jobs from other textures i have done. il dump the uvw space as a 2d vector image, import them into photoshop and use them as masks for layer effects. the most atrocious thing ive done was use the nvidia photoshop plugin to make normal maps from 2d images, thats why some things bump out when the should bump in and vise versa. im just lazy, but technical enough to appear mediocre.

Nuke, I *so* feel your pain. I got started on Civ 2 and European Air War (and before those, Flight Sim Toolkit, with no textures at all!).
