Hi Nicole

thank you for you help

matthias

And don't forget to grab yourself a copy of CrazyBump, it's still free as it's in beta but works very well when you're creating displacements or any other map from your sourceimages.

hi Maximus3D

wau super good thanks for the tipp

is that the programm do you use for the super mxm,s ?

Matthias

Hehe you're welcome Matthias. Yeap this is one of the programs i use when i create my maps for my mxm's.

You also need a paintprogram, but i bet you got that already. Other good useful apps are FilterForge, Gimp with it's seamless tiling plugin, Texture Maker, MapZone.

Aha Maximus

i look at FilterForge, Gimp and Texture Maker, MapZone.

by the way

your materials looks allways very good

Matthias

Many thanks Matthias, i appreciate your kind words

Here's some plugins you might find useful for Gimp they're easy to install

http://gimp-texturize.sourceforge.net/
http://www.logarithmic.net/pfh/resynthesizer

One more thing about Gimp on Windows, sometimes on some systems with alot of fonts in them you may get a crash when you startup Gimp as it has to cache all fonts. However to get around that problem you can disable all font loading. Then you will obviously have no access to any fonts within Gimp but atleast it'll run.

The solution is to select properties on the Gimp shortcut icon, and in the Target path you add after the text there this command --no-fonts just like that and then apply and hit ok. This works great!
