kailebw Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 I am having trouble with retexturing. I'm still a noob so I don't get this. When I retexture it turns black on the mesh. I read THIS but I don't understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zprospero Posted February 2, 2010 Share Posted February 2, 2010 Do you have a normal map? That is say the name of your retextured file is sword.dds, do you have a sword_n.dds file? A normal map is an edited copy of the main texture which tells the game how the light should reactto it. Normal maps are why weapons are shiny and cloth isn't, etcetera. Without a normal map thelight in-game won't even touch the mesh, giving you a solid black texture. What program are you using for editing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
