In pixel art 16x16

[left hull]

you want a texture that gives the illusion of depth?

or an actual 3D model

[glossy harness]

Yes, not actual 3d model

[left hull]

ah ok

[glossy harness]

Like its part of 3d model

[left hull]

well things that are inset will have a shadow on them

and the lip at the bottom of the inset will be brighter

so having darker pixels at the top of the "inset" section and lighter at the bottom can make it look more 3D

[glossy harness]

Like that?

[glossy harness]

That's not real texture, it's only for depth one.

[left hull]

that texture is just a blue circle...?

[glossy harness]

Yes... It's just for test my understanding of depth things

Okay let me write some real texture for test

So there good depth accent or no?

[glossy harness]

?

[left hull]

wait is this meant to be a crystal item or an ore block for that crystal

[glossy harness]

Crystal item

Let me send reference

[left hull]

ahh I thought you were making an ore texture like nether quartz ore

now I see

[glossy harness]

Just I want it more rounded

[left hull]

so you want it to look like many crystals together?

not like one ball

[glossy harness]

Yes, many crystal together that create "ball like" form

[left hull]

hm
this is probably a better question for #1095384957293178891

this is more of a technical help channel from my understanding

I would recommend looking at this as well

[glossy harness]

That my best try:

[glossy harness]

I already readed that...

[left hull]

oh that's pretty good

[glossy harness]

I just not sure how to I can make more depth between the parts?

[left hull]

yeah I'm not a pixel artist, I think you would get much more valuable feedback if you posted this picture and your reference in #1095384957293178891

[glossy harness]

I'm very interested in the non-artist's point of view, does it look like a crystal or like some kind of ender pearl?
