Lost the Chrome on the Props?!

Postby Cherokee_6 » Tue Apr 01, 2003 12:17 am

Check out my first attempt at a repaint! For the most part it was easy but I cannot seem to get the chrome look back on the Props?!

Any suggestions?

The repaint is fine. For the chrome spinners I suspect you're not using the correct DXT3 with Alpha format. This tute might help. http://www.gjsmith.com/Tutorial/Tutorial.htm
Step 6 covers reflective textures.
