Custom Bumps?

Post by iTz_CamDaMan »

I can't find any tutorials on how to do custom bumps/make your bitmaps into bumps properly and how to save them as w/e format they normally are or even dxt w/e (dxt 1, 2/3, or 4/5 bumps, p8 bumps, etc.)

I need a tutorial/for some1 to help me with this/tell me how to do this. IDK what programs to use either (probably entity and the entity ue 1.6 that recently came out so ya)

I really would like to know how to do all of this and I'd appreciate it a lot.

PLZ HELP/POST! THNKZ!

Definitely use entity ue 1.6. Find it here: http://forums.halomods.com/viewtopic.php?t=56337

Basically, find the bump you want to extract, and save it somewhere. open up photoshop, and then you treat the bump as an a8r8g8b formated picture.

THNKZ! I will definitely DL H2G (Saw a pic of it/heard about it and HELLZ YEA =D)

I don't have a good calculator to use for those kind of conversions in that tutorial though. Can you upload yours or give me a link to a good one?

Yeah, but my calculator sucks. You need one like this and mine couldn't do it...

-Calc of windows to make conversions Hexadecimal to Decimal.
