nice tut took me a bit to properly get it going but i did it :P
Pros: Helpful (even got my own personal skin to work), easy to read. Cons: There are some spelling mistakes that may be hard to be understand. Improvements: none Notes: none
This tutorial is wrong, never make your normals from diffuse, make them from height, I'm not gone advertise to my normal map tut, but i would recommend reading it as well :)
Pros: Detailed Cons: Basic
A tutorial cannot break.






Really detailed! But the vtf script is wrong... Should be like this: "VertexLitGeneric" { "$baseTexture" "models\weapons\vmodels\EXAMPLE\A$$" "$bumpmap" "models\weapons\vmodels\EXAMPLE\A$$normal" "normalmapalphaenvmapmask" 1 "envmap" "envcubemap" }






Very useful tutorial, without it I would still make normal maps with just applying normal map filter and finish lol.
Tutorial is broken or something.
realy constructive on why you rated it this low.
Apeald
The rest and you aswell seem to understand what its saying, i'm sorry i cant recheck my english all the time. besides that its about the idea what to do, not your 100% accurate grammer.
Can someone please point me the way to the tut. I cant seem to find the pic anywhere. This is making me want to RAGE.
Edit Never mind got it. had to do some damn source code digging. weird how it didn't show up.
