Texture blending Created 18 years ago2006-01-12 14:38:58 UTC by gordonfreeman

tried to blend 2 textures following a tutorial. after I changed the blending properties to what I want I got this

as you can see one of the textures didnt appear, in hammer, nor ingame
i have checked and i know i didnt make mistake when typing texture names in the .vmt file
Any explanations, solutions someone?

i have checked and i know i didnt make mistake when typing texture names in the .vmt file

I wouldn't be too sure of that... can you post your .vmt file and the .vtf filenames you used?

"WorldVertexTransition"

{

"$basetexture" "concrete/concretefloor026a"

"$basetexture2" "concrete/concretefloor033k_c17"

"%tooltexture" "concrete/concretefloor026a"

"%keywords" "blend"

}
no vtf file, the example texture file worked without vmt too, this should too

meh use beta sdk. Blending works fine there :> at least for me.

Dude vtf is the texture itself! When you drag an image onto vtex it creates the empty vmt and vtf. Vmt is the info such as where, what etc and vtf is the image itself...Surely you need the vtf...All my textures use vtf.

You don't need vmt's named st_rockcliff003 for example but you do need vtf's.

Seems like you still don't get it.
There's a tutorial at snarkpit, followed it. Made a vmt file, no vtf. I could blend 2 textures: those which are in that tutorial, without problem. I changed the used textures to those which I want to use, and one of them looks like that you can see above while it should be the road texture.
I don't care about vtfs I don't need them and I didn't need them when doing the example blending. NO CUSTOM TEXTURE if you thought that, I'm blending 2 existing tex.s using a vmt.

Then the only answer is your editing an existing file but HL2 either thinks that is a new non existent texture or your VMT directions are wrong.

The example file was a new file, also.
