Create a new material from textur

[hvanessen]

Hi guys,

When i have a very nice texture, wich i want to use often in different projects, i want it to make a material. So i only have to use the paintbucket tool and select it.

Is there a way to convert a texture into a SU material ?

Use
File > Import
select type as say .png or .jpg
on the right side there's now an extra option - ' import as texture' - tick it.
It becomes a new material directly.
Once you are happy with the material' settings [ Materials Browser > Model-tab > Edit etc to get the image's scale, colorizing etc right] you can also save it for direct use later in other models...
Materials Browser > Model-tab, right-click context-menu > Save as - this let's you make a ' skm' file of it, saved somewhere in your Materials folder, which you can then use directly as a Material from the Browser in any other models, keeping those same settings...
