Hey,

So I'm making my first complete texture set and I have a problem. When I get say my right bicep and flip it vertically in gimp it doesn't show at all in game. With my triceps they're not perfect mirrors of each other.

Here's a pic:



Future thanks for the help!

yeh ive had that problem dude the best thiong to do is align it so its the same so like move the texture left or right.

I don't understand what your saying I flipped it in gimp. Are you saying to just make a new file and draw the same thing flipped? I deleted the biceps and triceps textures because they don't look good and I'm starting again.

Search before posting, please...

doesn't have those options in gimp 2.6....

If your wanting to flip an arm or leg texture you need to do it horizontally. Flipping it vertically will pretty much just rotate it around the limb.

If the texture's turning white when saved then it's a problem with the way the file's being saved.

just flipping horizontally doesn't make a perfect mirror.

You have to move them a certain amount of pixels to one direction to have the mirror correctly. Tri/Bicep textures aren't mapped across the whole bicep. They stop about 3 fourths down the way of the Tri/Bicep mesh.

EXPERT ANSWER

With a single layer image, copy the layer, make a vertical guide at 102px, select the are from (0,0) to (102,128), crop layer, horizontally flip, save your mirrored image.

You can look at my textures for reference.

thanks! will try when i get home from basketball.
