I searched all over the internet and forums how to create textures. Didn't find anything usefull : /

I have this JPG file that I want to turn into a texture to serve as a floor. It's grass. But how do I convert it to that .mat and .dds file?

Any help is appreciated

Well you can use for example "blender" to create a big plane and put in blender the texture on it and then create a .dae file ! After this you can use the .dae file with the modelviewer and it will create automatically a material file and then u will use the model editor to create your own entitie that you can use in the editor ....

But maybe there is a way to convert it to an .dds file by using GIMP 2 and then u have to use the material editor to change the texture ... there are some tutorials in the wiki about this !

I hope it helps you cause i am completely new to modding

But not to modeling apparently

I'll try it out and see what it gives

Tryed out the Editor a few weeks before and this week first time i created something with blender

You have to use material editor. Try to find Everlone's conversion tutorial, that will help. I have a lot of custom texture used in my mod.

My grass is perfect now

Thanks!
