Is there a way to selectively replace some of a texture with another texture. Swapper replaces every bit of Texture A with whatever you choose for Texture B. I'd like to be able to have Texture B on my paintbrush and in the circle where I'm applying only, it replaces A with B.
Any way for this?
thank you Kamal!
I was looking for something similar to what Paintshop has, I think you call it replacement tool. You can either replace a color, like the Swapper does, or you can put texture A on your brush and *only* where you come across texture B will it replace with the new A texture.
But I don't see that this exists in there, but, I was playing around with selecting a texture from the "textures used in this grid" list, while you have a grid square highlighted, and then playing with this I can kind of do what I wanted.
Wish I'd seen that tutorial earlier... I think I had to learn all that the hard way!
Like you say, the keys to good looking maps is blending textures and getting a feel for how the pressure works, and finally how applying color over all of that works.
Also avoiding flat ground, and big areas of repetitive texture.
And unlike NWN 1 you need to plan a map out mentally first.
I used to look at real life photos and try to duplicate them, but they never looked as good as a picture. It was more achievable (i.e. satisfying) for me to take screen shots out of Skyrim and try to reproduce those. Made for good practice.
One thing I also practice is draw a box / trigger and practice transitioning a texture from 100% at one end of the box, and fade to 1% at the other end, and have that texture transition look as seamless as possible.
It can help to start with the color tool for laying out the major features of your map (such as roads, water, building locations, &c.), particularly when you are tackling a larger area. I found it very useful when I wanted to create an accurate overland map, for example. You can always erase the colors later with a white brush.
