[Request] Smooth stone texture replacement

[UrbanBourbon]

Such a simple little thing. The texture of smooth stone is a little off-putting, practically a deterrent for me to not to use it. Perhaps a modder with nothing better to do could mod in an alternative? Image search with the words 'brown marble' seems to yield some nice alternatives. Although perhaps a simple color adjustment to some darker shade of brown might work just as well! The path for the smooth stone texture is Terrain/Surfaces/SmoothStone (for convenience)

Ha! Thanks. That particular choice resembles copper. Bit tacky for my taste but oh well, it was random. Also, I'm an idiot in that I didn't realize how simple it was to replace textures. I thought I'd had to repack the texture into the assets file and... Bah! Anyway, for beginners like me, the mod provides a perfect template to experiment on, by switching images in and out. Thanks again.

Got inspired and tried to create a seamless marble image so that it would be difficult to see where the edges go. I'm an not an artist, so behold my visual butchery:

To install, download the mod provided by mrofa (above) and simply replace the image file in it with the one I provided there. In-game screenshots:

The pattern, repeated 9 times, in a 3x3 formation: http://i.imgur.com/pylP11b.jpg

Creating that image turned out to be quite an interesting journey, and I ran into some curious problems (logic-based problems). It was like solving a puzzle. Alas, I could only bother myself to use the blur and smudge tools. A can only imagine what a proper artist could achieve. Human eye does have a knack for pattern recognition, which I find exceedingly hard to deceive. At least I can't fool my own eyes!
