Cryengine 3 Tutorial - Custom Textures and Models using XSI Mod Tool

yamahaalex37

I created a very to-the-point tutorial for setting up your first level with custom textures and models. I experienced EXTREME frustration trying to blend textures and little to no help on multiple forums (except polycount), so I created this tutorial so that hopefully no beginner will experience what I did.

If you can't tell, I hate small talk in tutorials. Please critique, as this is my first tutorial.

Thanks again polycount, and [HP] and ParoXumfor hellping me.

Take a look at the other topic, I know it's good to make tutorial and all for the masses but there's some easier ways to make what you're doing in this video I speak about in the other topic: http://www.polycount.com/forum/showpost.php?p=1415958&postcount=15

That said I think part1 is all right.

Thanks Paroxum, I updated the video.

I mentioned in the video it may be correct to use a low resolution image instead of a solid color, but when I personally used low resolution images, things looked too blotchy from far away. Would be nice to learn a method for creating really nice background layer textures.

JustMakeGames is more or less aimed toward helping beginners learn and collaborate to find groups to work with. I know this is a forum filled with somewhat more experienced users, but I still hop you will take a few seconds to register on my site (no e-mail activation required) and add an avatar to your profile to support my site's growth.
