For me it is best to create only one texture. If you are importing 3rd party models that use multiple textures then it is best to combine all of the textures onto one sheet. I use a 2048x2048 maximum resolution sheet, and "fit" the textures as best as i can. The size of the sheet will depend on how much room all of the "little' textures take up. True you may lose some resolution, and detail in some areas, but IMO the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Your model will have to be re

Hey guys! I've started my star trek expansion for Sins Of Angles. I've created my first model but now I need to know how to create those cool texture sheets.

Is it a separate file? I'm going to look in the game info files but just thought id ask in case I didnt have any luck. I really think Klingon light frigates should have much powerful weapons is all :P. One trick I discovered for beam weapons was increasing the duration

Hey guys, I've been ghosting this forum for a while. I'm a big fan of Sins, it really helps me while away the more boring times of day (caugh work). I would really want to mod in my spare time.
