that's a pretty nifty photoshop, when's the model getting released?

Ok, so you managed to ¨embed¨ the custom textures to the model, that's great!

May I ask how, was it using your own tool?

Uhh, nope, the textures are actually uploaded to the Hive with the upload texture button, they are not embedded in the model.
The model has modified pkb references to different emitters that are in the game data, not in the model.

Aha!

Just checked the ¨how to import¨ section, now it makes sense

May I ask what you do with the emissive.dds?
I started resizing them as well, since quality doesn't seem to suffer, but I'm not sure which is the optimal size decrease (usually just going 50%).

Emissive refers to the part that is glowing. So, anything painted on that texture is supposed to "glow" in the model, generally. That's about it, other than that it's similar to a normal texture file.

Simple and efficient. Nice to see that it was a learning project.

Looking forward seeing more from you!

Oh yeah, I worked with some emissives already.
But like was said, I believe resizing them to reduce the overall file size works well. Which is what I though you did.

I edited them using Paint.NET. I don't actually know much about how the DDS format is stored or how to compress it, but feel free to modify the textures that I made in any way. I was mostly focused on trying to modify the model to have purple fire when I made this, which I figured was more difficult.

Useful and well done.

really hot man
