How to make snow?

Post by Koolchamp »

I want to make a snow and ice level, but i dont know what to do in the bitmap part in paint shop pro 8. I would i just leave the ground white and add some brown and black texturing, or is there a certain way to make a snow level that i dont know of. I have never made a map before so i am very new, and all i have to go off of is the tutorials. So any help on this would be great.

There is a snow texture from the level Two Betrayals in the Halo CE tags directory. Rip the image from that, make a new .tif file of it, use it in 3DS Max, and then just use the snow image from TB in your ground shaders.

Snow maps have always given me problems. They're annoying to make, but fun as crap to play. :D

Ok when you get hek.
Goto data>maps>b40 and take all their snow textures.
And use them in 3ds max on the material editor.
I suggest using the snow_bump as a regular texture.
