Reliquary Seamless Textures
===========================

20 stylised tiling surface textures for dark interfaces — deep indigo with
pale silver accents. SVG plus transparent PNG at 1x, 2x and 4x.

Reliquary 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 Reliquary reading of it: a dark interface on a
deep indigo palette with pale silver accents, built around a header band
across the top of the frame, chamfered buttons at 128x56, hollow-cored bars
divided into 12 segments, and two-tone icons on a 24px 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 Reliquary family,
which means this kit and the Reliquary 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.
