ok I have uploaded the images in .png since photo bucket doesn't see tga or dds as valid image files... Tho they aren't quite finished I need to do some texturing still and probably resizing to compensate for stretching that occours once they are wrapped onto the mesh... Here is the da http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee393/tarokahn/NewPlanetda.png <img src="http://i1225.p
ok so changing Specular ffe5e5e5 Emissive ff000000 to various settings didn't make a visual difference Changing Glossiness 5.000000 to 0.000000 Made the entire planet completely white changing it to 100.000000 Made the wire frame show and focused the "sun spot" on every junction of the wire frame, so the planet no longer looked spherical. I tried several other numbers, 2 : 15 : 25 : 50 : 75 While it did get amaller with high
Didn't think to check the mesh files... I haven't modified any of the mesh files previously, considering there is no "sun spot" when usind the standard dds files I didn't think I would need to. The standard un modified material portion for Planet_Desert_0.mesh: Planet_Desert_1.mesh: are the same Material DiffuseTextureFileName " C:\PlanetDesert01-cl.dds"</spa
ok setting up a photobucket account is a real pain when you're blocking their cookies =P http://i1225.photobucket.com/albums/ee393/tarokahn/SunSpot.png So there is an example I renamed my .dds files to PlanetDesert01-cl.dds PlanetDesert01-da.dds PlanetDesert02-cl.dds PlanetDesert02-da.dds I didn't change any other settings or files in this instance.

Thanks. Found the resize tool, it seems to work however I have run into a very curious issue... When testing planet wraps I temporarily replace the original textures with the new ones I made to see how they look. Every time I do the new "planet" has a huge sun spot, and the wire frame edges become visible. I convert my tga to dds and replace the -cl -da dds files for Ice or desert etc. planet I want to look at and every time, huge bright shiny sun spot.
It just gets worse and worse... Who are the devs at Microsoft listening to when they come up with this garbage? My personal experience with Windows says there's absolutely no reason to upgrade past XP unless you want to re-purchase almost every piece of software that you have been using for 10+ years. It looks rediculous, are they trying to turn computers in-to cellphones or what? Funny thing is they seem to be trying to revert to the old "program manager" look whe
If the answer exists I couldn't find it. My question is: What is the scale for planet mesh files? I have Google Sketchup which is a very simple and easy to use program. It Exports to .xsi and the files load without a problem into Softimage. The problem I'm having is determining the size to make the sphere mesh. Radius or Diameter, doesn't matter but if anyone knows it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Link is Broken... File front and game front are having serious issues lately, I clicked to download your tutorial and it said file not found. During the past several days I have been sent to their sites to download various files associated with modding and none of them would download. I was left seeking alternative locations which was not easy. Could you guys please re-post this tutorial somewhere else. Thanks
