Talk:Creating a Waterfall Material

This tutorials is a waste of space. It does not give the desired results. Atleast not by doing it this way! The tutorial needs more detail, it doesn't explain well at all. Should be remade or deleted!

what gone wrong? --Pfannkuchen 15:42, 23 Aug 2008 (PDT)

Well firstly, it isn't explained good enough for a newby with this type of thing. Tutorials should be made with noobs in mind. For instance, i don't know how to create a animated texture scroll material, which is just why im looking at this tut. But im reading it and am very unfamiliar. So secondly, i did what he said for the GIMP part, but it never worked. So i just created a normal map with another tool. I made the vmt fine, but the problem is, the texture. Ingame it just shows up purple/black checkered. This tut doesn;t say what texture you need. Because the image on the page is not a normal map, but it says we need a normal map. So whats the image on the page actualy for?! So i just saved that image, and turned it into a normal map. And used that normal map as the waterfall_n texture. And this never worked. So i dont know what im doing wrong, because he doesn't explain well. If you know what i did wrong by what i just said, please tell me. Because i really want to get this texure scrolling working ;)
