Oak Seamless Textures
=====================

20 stylised tiling surface textures for dark interfaces — wood-brown with
polished brass accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Oak Seamless Textures is a set of 20 tiling surface textures drawn in the
stylised style, where the frame is carved, with finials pushing out past the
corners and a gem set into each one. It contains brick, stone and tile
surfaces, wood, fabric and metal, dirt, grass and plaster and a matching
height map for every surface.

These are vector-drawn surfaces, not photographic PBR scans, and it is worth
being plain about that: they will not pass for a photoreal material under a
physical camera. What they are good for is stylised work, 2D backgrounds, UI
fills and anything that has to stay readable when it is scaled or recoloured —
cases where a photo scan is the wrong tool anyway.

The ornament is part of the silhouette rather than drawn on top of it, so the
frame is recognisable at thumbnail size. The face carries a three-stop
vertical gradient — the closest a flat kit gets to a painted bevel.

Inside that style this is the Oak reading of it: a dark interface on a
wood-brown palette with polished brass accents, built around two concentric
frames, tab-shaped buttons at 160x48, glossy bars divided into 8 segments, and
solid icons on a 32px grid. Those measurements are why two families can share
an art style without being interchangeable: the style decides how an edge is
drawn, the numbers decide what the interface is for.

Every motif that crosses an edge is drawn again on the opposite edge, which is
the whole difficulty of a tiling texture and the thing that is easy to get
subtly wrong. Each surface ships with a greyscale height companion so a shader
can derive a normal map at whatever strength the scene wants, rather than
baking one in at a strength that suits nothing.

Every sprite ships as an editable SVG and as transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x,
so you can drop the PNGs straight into an engine or open the vector and change
a colour. Built to the same measurements as the rest of the Oak family, which
means this kit and the Oak panel kit line up without either being resized. A
good fit for fantasy and RPG interfaces.

HOW TO USE

  - Set the material to repeat in both axes at the source size; the tile is
    authored square so a non-uniform scale is what introduces a seam, not the
    art.
  - Feed the -height file into a normal-from-height node rather than using it
    as a normal map directly — it is a greyscale elevation, not an RGB normal.
  - Recolour by tinting rather than by editing the SVG if you need a variant;
    the tones are chosen to survive a hue shift without the mortar or grain
    disappearing.
