Questions about Blender

I have some questions about Blender

1. How can I place multiple textures in a same area? for example I have a narn frazi
fighter and I want to get those symbols on the back of it. how do I do it?

2. I downloaded the whitestar model from ap3d and converted it to DFX but the
textures don't seem to fit. Do I need to convert them somehow?


Because of these broblems, I'm unable to do anything else but the raider fighter
(from A2597's tutorial) and shadow vessels (don't have a decent texture though).

Any help is welcome. I'd also be grateful of links to any other tutorials than '
A2597's. It was very good but I need much more information(Mostly space related).

    I thought you could not texture a DFX file (and save those textures)

    Well, I am supposed to be getting a texturing tutorial out....
    but, in the mean time,
    More then one texture:
    look in the materials window with the tail selected. click "Add new"
    In the textures section, click "Add New"
    then Image, and load up the tail image.
    As for the White Star,

    in the textures window, look for "Rotate 90"

    and in the Materials windew, look for Cube, flat, tube, sphear. the Cube is the right one for the most part. one wing uses Tube though.

    Good luck! [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    Thanks!
    That helped a much.
    Now I think I'll be posting my first
    renders in a week or so [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]
  • HorzaHorza Earthforce Officer
    Oh, and more about texturing...
    For example I have a Narn warcruiser and I need to get those black stripes on it. Do i need a new texture for it or can I somehow make more areas that I can texture black?

    Do you have the textures for the Narn ship?
    If so, rlemember that for EVERY texture, you MUST add a new material first. otherwise things can get screwey.... [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    the textures will take care of the black/red parts of the ship though. [img]http://www.firstones.com/forums/smile.gif[/img]

    Learned the basics in a week..
    Still can't handle all features and haven't made any pictures(except the raider fighter).

    Now I'm working on a whitestar but I have some trouble loading the model after I reinstalled Windows
