Simple Texture Question

[Raven0]

I've always been curious about how exactly models are wrapped and textures are applied so I've been playing around with this model I have.

The model uses this texture:



And I completely painted the texture blue like this:



My question is, shouldn't that make the model all one shade of blue? Instead it comes out like this:



Can anybody explain to me why? What's up with the darker areas, and why does it cut off so abruptly between the two shades? ^-^

if I remember right the dark shades are created by "normals". Normals determine how lightning is reflected by the wc3 engine.

hmm, do you know how I can remove them?

The shadows are made by the model (might be a normal map), and not by the texture you're creating. You might have more luck asking in the modelling section.

You can't remove normals (I think), but you can change them so there becomes no dark shading.

Thanks for you'r responses, I will post it in the model section ^-^
