   There are Steps you will need to follow and read everything carefully and make sure

   STEP 1

Then you click OK .



   STEP 2

   Now lets start designing.
   Use your fill tool your paint tool or your pen tool. you may want to use your blur too.
   Get creative and make somthing you would really like. Take your time you really don't need to rush.

      STEP 3

      Once you are finished with your beautiful artwork, Name it.
Example: GreenGrass2.jpg

   Examples of tools for Terrain Textures
   SAND - I usally use Sand drunes and Galaxy tool and the Colors I use are usally Yellow Brownish Yellow and Light Yellowish Orange
   GRASS - I will use most only full size Galaxy tool and maybe Sand Drunes sometimes and The Colors I use are Green Dark Green Light Green or Brownish Green.
   SOIL - I might use Galaxy tool on this a bunch of sand drunes and maybe some felt pen
and the colors I would use would be Light Brown Dark Brown Medium Brown and Brown - Yellow.

   Hope You Enjoy :3

Did you open the file defaultTex in your Terrains>Textures folder and type in YourTextureNameHere.jpg?

The reason you dont have it is because you need to get GIMP 2.8.2

Post by: ShadowClasher on November 29, 2012, 03:58:37 am: Oh, and also remember that with 2.8.2 version of GIMP, you must EXPORT it. NOT SAVE.

OK, re-phrase. You can save it, but you cannot save it in a .jpg or .png of any of those as it only saves in something GIMP reads. If you Export it, you have the Advanced Options and can export is as those types of pictures. (I do recommend to save it too, in case the files is deleted by accident. You'll have a back-up. c:

Thanks for the tutorial, Casey! +Nuzzle for chu.
