Hello

I'm trying to make a small program to make matrix terrains. unfortunately i have one more problem to solve and after days of thinking, seems like i'm not going to complete it by myself.

So, simply the issue is, how can i use more than one texture and how to make shading between texture01 and texture02? Is there possibility to make them as layers?

edit: Oh, i found great post that is pretty much i was looking for. Gonna take a look of it and i'm going to scream if there is still need for aid. For people who're at the same situation as i'm, the link is below.

Is that what you were looking for? I don't think it is capable to have multiple textures, but it can have a tiled texture with each "square" of the matrix having it's own section of the larger texture.

The fastest code is the code never written.

yup, thats true. you could help by telling me something new, not the things i already know Currently i'm using just one picture from the bird view and sectioning it up to how many tiles exist. After that i use the tools to raise / lower the matrix. this seem to work pretty well. but if someone have tips how to use multiple textures, please tell me.

You can't multi texture a matrix. You need to use plains. But for the effect you're looking for using matrices, you do all the blending in a graphics package, and have each type of blend in s separate section of the main image and use the standard matrix texture commands to texture the matrix.

An image like this...


Or you could use the image kit plugin to create the blends at runtime, then texture the matrix with those.

But you can't take 3 images, and texture one matrix with them.

1 matrix, 1 texture.
