Anyone gotta link for Paint.net?

bumped cause i added this.. "How Map Grounds Work"

Philly · Post by **Philly** » Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:01 am

Map grounds are more clever than that. If you look at the [senv] tag in HMT, and scroll to "levels\(test)\mapname\shaders\mapname_ground", you can actually edit the levels of detail for all three detail maps.

Primary Detail = Usually Grass
Secondary Detail = Usually sand/dirt/rock
Micro Detail = The 'detail ground' texture which Pepsi explained.

Note that, when you make the numbers higher, the detail maps get smaller, and therefore more detailed. All numbers are relative to the map size.

*Edit* nevermind all that. Great Tut i learned, alot makes me wanna go back to attempting skinning

Great tutorial Pepsi. Very in depth, its hard to make a tut for something like skinning or modeling.

Sticky May-b?

Bloody amazing tutorial there peps.

This needs to be stickied.

added yet another section I totally forgot about. I could have simply done the same thing as seen above but that would have taken away from the man who taught me where everything was and I rather quote him and give him his props then simply copying his work.

Check out the new section added "Skinning Warthogs and Identifying Its Parts "

lol, the warthogs in the pictures have one of the rimsets in NotHim's Rims. Great tutorial, I especially like the warthog part, I saved all the pictures to my computer! If only I had photoshop...
