KOTOR Tool will extract the appropriate textures for a given model if you have it set to export an ASCII model on double clicking. Alternatively, convert the model to ASCII manually and MDLOps will produce a text file with the texture name/s....  [Read More]

Bigger is usually better in the case of textures, yes. Body textures and the like should be 1024x1024. You can get away with 512x512 textures for smaller models like weapons. The vanilla textures are usually pretty bad though, so you'll have your wor...  [Read More]

Highly unlikely. I doubt you could even do it in Photoshop - at least not in the exact manner you seem to be after. You can fake depth and height with certain techniques and PS filters certainly, but that only works with static images with a fixed li...  [Read More]

You don't determine colour via the TXI. The envmap just adds a glow to the areas of your texture with transparency. You don't make those areas completely transparent - you just add a tiny little bit of transparency via the alpha channel. Thus the tex...  [Read More]

Refer to this for some info on valid TXI arguments: http://www.lucasforums.com/showthread.php?t=175937 By the way, you don't want to "erase" areas you want to glow (or be otherwise affected by environment maps), you need to set up an alpha...  [Read More]

Her face markings in the comics are asymmetrical so I could not over come that hurdle.You can overcome it if you remap the head so that it no longer mirrors the face. Not as efficient a use of texture space of course, but that's the price you pay....  [Read More]

It's not a big deal to hex edit one of the vanilla heads to use a custom texture (which is what the model you are using is I imagine). They all use the same UV map, aside from Mission's head which is unique. Looks like there is some pixelation on th...  [Read More]

A look at K1's texture shows that by default it uses the mycube env map, so using a different one shouldn't require anything but a proper TXI. How is it formatted? Like this? envmaptexture CM_Bright The envmap entry in appearance.2da is starred out...  [Read More]
