Does TRES have ROW painting?

Hi Steve,

It sure does - but I don't recall how to do it off the top of my head... As a ROW painter from the earliest days of Mosaic - I certainly appreciate this feature... If nobody comes along - I'll try to remember to figure it out again when I get home this weekend...

Steve,

When using TSRE, open the Terrain window under the tools tab. When you open that window, you'll have several options. Under the "Paint Texture" heading, click texture. Under the "Texture" heading, load whatever ballast texture floats your boat. You can set the size and intensity of your texture under "Brush Settings". Once you've done all that, simply hold CTRL and then click on any world object to add a texture around it.

I'll add to the above that the resulting textures need to be compressed AFTER you do your painting as each new texture file is about one Megabyte in size.

I knew that it was something quick and easy but I forgot where the information was. Thank you all for the responses.

Greetings to All,
I tried to batch compress them with Route Riter, but an error message shows up. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Hi oliver2,
What's the big secret??!!
Without you telling us exactly what error message you got, nobody knows if they can give you an answer, or not!

Am I right in assuming that you tried using the "Compress all ACE files in selected folder" button?

Cheers,

Nope, that worked. DXT compression's not working. I think we need DXT because terrrain painting consumes the HDD space very fast... Here's the message.

UPDATE: sorry, the message is about TGA-to-DXT command. When trying ACE to DXT, same message shows up but first row is "Invalid parameter"

SOLVED. Route Riter not required. One have to create a .bat file and use AceIt.exe command with /dxt suffix. Command list can be created in excel.
