Free Checker Pattern Texture

EliasWick

Hey, you guys over in the Technical Talk have given me so much help lately and I thought of giving back in the little way that I can.
I am currently working on a game and thought of developing my own Checker Pattern for Texel Density. All textures that I find online has been compressed in some way, so I made my own.

I have added a zip-file that includes:
* One .PDS that contains the design
* 20 Textures
* 5 Colour variants
* 4 Sizes (512, 1024, 2048, 4096)

Feel free to do whatever you want with them.
There is no need to credit me if you use them.
Admins are allowed to add them on to the Wiki page if they want.

Have a good day!
Edit: Sorry for posting this in the wrong Thread.

Here is an example of the texture: Colour 1, 1024x1024

Nice of you to share. I can add these to the wiki.

They're not ideal though IMHO. Yours only have a couple of the points listed on the UV wiki page:

Good things to have in a UV map grid:

• A large checker grid to see large distortions.
• A fine per-pixel grid to see small distortions.
• Circles help with solving distortion, as it's easier for the human eye to see when a circle is distorted than a square.
• Unique colors across the map, to see where the UV is tiling.
• Letters and/or numbers to see when the UV is reversed.
• Letters and/or numbers to see where a mesh feature is located in UV space.

Thank you so much! All of what you wrote makes perfect sense! The Photoshop Document is available to anyone up for the task of making it better. I might spend some time making it better when I have the chance.

Thanks again!

Hey Eric, could you link to the UV page you mentioned? Or maybe post what you feel is an ideal checker map? Thanks.

Hello guys,
we want to share with you a couple of useful UVW Map Checkers we made ourselves and used recently for our 3D Models\. All maps are high res and free.
