Help finding matching ballast for TANE Track

[jordon412]

So I've finally got a computer designed specifically for T:ANE and TMR17, which was the Christmas gift from my sister and her boyfriend (who built it specifically for me), and I'm now working on my first route in T:ANE. It is a remake of NICNAC's 'Black River Junction', which was made in TS12. It's based on the Model Railroader project layout of the same name. In order to make it look like a model railroad, he lowered the terrain around the layout and used the texture 'pitch black' to represent the floor. I'm turning it into a proper model railroadz, which is adding a floor and fascia. Now here's my question: is there any ballast texture that goes with 'TANE 1Trk Wood', and if so, what is it?

I don't think there is one, per se.

Might be worth seeing if the Ultratextures by McGuirel have anything close, also SAM textures and the ballast texture from clam1952 (Malcolm). Think outside the box, search the DLS for gravel and dirt in environmental textures to see if those yield something useful.

if you can't find anything, you could try to take the texture that is within the track and use it as a ballast texture, if you duplicate the track file and look inside the folder it may well have a graphic in there that can be used in a new ground texture, although some TANE assets are closed and can't be as easily edited like the older assets were.
there are also a lot of good ground textures that are not on dls , there's a spanish site that has a lot of good ones , i'll try and find the url , its on my other computer.

There is Protrack by ElStoko that has matching ground textures on DLS:

And the track and textures can be reskinned:
