Import Textures into Mud2011

achillesian

Any tips? I painted on a horrible history ridden, nasty mesh from maya in mudbox for awhile. Saved the .psd diff, passed the obj around a few programs to clean it up, re-imported to mud, works much better, but dont know how to import the texture. The one tutorial i found was for mud 2009 and involves putting textures in a certain directory and naming them weird...

there's got to be a better way!

just go to paint, create a layer, then import the texture.

go to the paint tab...
und the > icon there is the import layer option...

if you have more than one object you have to create a new material for them...
rightklick onto the object --> new material

well, its only working for png/tga/bmp filetypes. It wont seem to work with the psd. i exported (i wanted to keep layers intact) but if thats the best i can do its better than nothing, thanks for the help guys.

if you like to import a psd with layer you have to create an empty layer...
rightklick onto the channel and go to import channel from PSD...

note: this only works if you use features in your PSD file supported by mud...
