Re: How to make a normal texture file
Hello. I have used your tutorial in the past without a hitch, but now I am encountering a problem I'm not sure how to deal with.

The model is all shiny, not entirely silver, just shiny. I think it has something to do with the alpha/normal maps, but when I go to the layers menu in photoshop the alpha layer is completely white. And way to fix this?

You have to use a black coloured alpha channel instead of a white coloured one.Hello. I have used your tutorial in the past without a hitch, but now I am encountering a problem I'm not sure how to deal with.

Re: How to make a normal texture file
Hi, I am having some problems when I'm about to save the normal file. When I try to save it, it saids "Error too many channels (5) to save". Any idea why it causes this because I was usually able to do all the steps w/t problems before.
My texture size is 2048 x 2048 if that may help.
Regards.
EDIT: Forgot to flatten the image

Re: How to make a normal texture file
Hello to you all, I have problem when I'm editing unit texture and norm texture...I've followed all these steps, but on the battle map my unit disappears when I'm zooming out, like some kind of chameleon, and when I'm zooming in the textures show up but are all messed up. It's not the problem with the mesh model 'cause in milkshape everything matches, model and the textures, so it has to be something with my work in photoshop...don't know what I'm doing wrong, any help would be nice

Re: How to make a normal texture file
Send textures and meshes.

Re: How to make a normal texture file
I've done it with gimp just now...it seems that something is wrong with photoshop, because I've saved the vanila textures as dds without editing and they were broken again. Then I've edit some textures in photoshop, saved them as dds, opened in gimp and just saved them as dds, without any work on them and it was successful. Pretty annoying...but thanx a lot anyway

Re: How to make a normal texture file
I don't exactly undestand this: "Cover it with black color, so that it does not have any reflection" How? Get a black brush and cover white parts?

Re: How to make a normal texture file
The alpha channel has to be all white (means all visible, not transparent). The parts you want to be invisible/transparent must be colored with black. A good example would be hair or tail on a helmet. Shades of grey create a semi-transparent effect. If you don't intend to have any transparent textures, simply cover everything with white. You can use color fill in photoshop to do this.
