    Io Base Orinda 2012-07-16

                         Io Base Orinda     This project turned out better than I thought it would, but not as good as I as I wished it had. All necessary files are included with the exception of some ships and the Prelude II Base which is a requirement. I wanted to create...

    OHM ESA Prelude II Base Skin

    Well, to make a long story short, I was eating a hotdog while I was working on this skin, and some of the mustard fell and landed on my hard drive!!:rofl: Actually, it is another project I am working on, and I am just trying different textures out to see how they look. One vote for the "Mustard...

    Problem Base Meshes Disappear when zooming out

    I tried increasing both values, but the meshes still disappear when zooming out. I even tried to increase size to 8000 but I still have the same problem. Does anyone know what the underlying cause is with this problem?

    Problem Base Meshes Disappear when zooming out

    I am currently working on a new project base, and I notice that the meshes/textures that I am incorporating do not show up when zooming in until a few miles out, and they disappear at the same point when I zoom the camera away from the base. Are there any corrections for this problem? stevcast

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    I appreciate everyboby's help on this, as I am basically very new to computer graphics, texturing, etc. I am not familiar with the reference to a ramp and dithering, but you state that DXT1 with a 1-bit alpha channel might work well. I am going to try that approach and see what the results will...

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    I used DXTBmp, and I did save it as a DXT5. I'm going to do it over again, maybe I hit thre wrong button, but I was certain I saved it as DXT5. Did you try to feather it, and did it work? I'll try again and get back to you.:cheers: stevcast ---------- Post added at 08:10 PM ----------...

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    Sure!! Here is the start of my tile. There are more layers I need to add, but at the present time, if I can't get it to look right, there is no need in continuing with it. Let me know if you come up with anything...Thanks!! stevcast

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    I guess what I was trying to do is emphasize the fact that I've tried every possible solution I can think of to acheive an adequate feathering effect without having any success. After using paint.net feathering tool, I end up with a very small feathered edge (barely noticable), which does not...

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    I saved it in DXT5 form before converting to .dds. I've tried feathering the edges in DXT5 format, in .dds format, .png format, .bmp format, the only "mat" I haven't tried is floormat, but I am tempted. If anyone has any insight as to why this is happening, please advise. stevcast

    General Question feathering the edges of a hires tile

    When I was working on my Hellsgate addon, everything about textures etc. was all hit and miss. I basically learned as I went along, trying one thing after another until I achieved the desired effect or results. I have gone over all the tutorials I can find, but I can't find an answer to a...

    SDK Question Having trouble adding tile to Io

    Actually, I have gone through your walkthrough and found it very helpful! As I have stated before, I am far from being an "expert' in any way shape or form when it comes to computers and or addon development. I basically get an idea for an addon and keep at it until it either semi works or...
