There's a small problem with your equation.

So how do you make this texture stretch over a whole matrix, then?

Am I the only one here who's really confused?

The gimp ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!

ow... here's a snippet for demonsbreath



Oh... this snippet works with a 64*64 tiles matrix... i didn't tested it on other sizes but i think that works too. I use this code to make landscapes and spread a huge land texture (sometimes 4096*4096!!!) over the matrix... this creates a beatyful landscape

I think he's looking for a program that will let hims specify some textures, a heightmap, then generate the huge texture from that. There are a few of these tools about, some are even free - for instance I've seen one made in Blitz, and The Masked Coder was making one too I think - most of them have lightmapping added as a bonus.

Silent made one of those in Blitz ( might be the one that you're thinking of Van B ) It works pretty darn good too Except he doesn't have lightmapping in his.

Hope I Helped...
