There are something that I don't know about Matrix.

1. If I can put more than 1 image on Matrix.
2. If I can do MultiTexture Blending on Matrix.

Thanks

You need to create one image with a series of tiles that you want to use on the matrix.

to use this tile set on your matrix its this command.
PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE

This command will select an image of tiled textures that the matrix will eventually use. Each grid square in
the matrix can have a tile texture, located within the image. Individual tile textures can be obtained from
the single image by slicing it into sections both across and down. The tile textures are then assigned a
number starting in the top left corner of the sectioned image and working across, then down. To section
an image into 4 smaller tile textures you would specify 2 across and 2 down.

SYNTAX
PREPARE MATRIX TEXTURE Matrix Number, Image Number, Across, Down

2. If I can do MultiTexture Blending on Matrix.

You cant really do this yet unless u tried using 2 matrices on top of each other but it doubles the polycount and may slow down greatly with a large matrix with lots of divisions.

You will currently have to prerender the blended areas on your tile set until perhaps in later patches that we can apply more than one texture to the same matrix tile division.

Thank you for your suggestion. What you suggested is what I was doing.
I used an image of 1024 x 1024 pixels that had many little images of 128 x 128 pixels. There were 64 pics (8 x 8). However, these were not enough for making map. -_-'
So, this would mean that 1 Matrix can only has 1 image. Is this right? Do I must use many Matrix for varied map?

Thanks
