Well - Even though it is more or less obsolete now, it did serve it's purpose for a while - gj!

Thx helped me out alot.

for that blend texture,you can just make your own.

"WorldVertexTransition"
{
"$basetexture" "name of your texture"
"$basetexture2" "name of your texture"
"%tooltexture" "nature/blenddirtgrass001a_tooltexture"
"$basetexturetransform" "center .5 .5 scale 1 1 rotate 0 translate 0 0"
"$basetexturetransform2" "center .5 .5 scale 4 4 rotate 0 translate 0 0"
//"%detailtype" "grassland1"
"%keywords" "wasteland"
}

But use a easy to find name.cause it will showup as a grass texture in the browser. dunno how to change that yet.

There is just a little problem with the textures. Some of them valve did not create properly and they show a purple and black checkerboard. You will have to recreate those vmt and vtf files smiley

Nice tutorial...

I have some problems with creating my own blend textures.

I've created a .vmt with

"WorldVertexTransition"
{
"$basetexture" "de_dust/groundsand03"
"$basetexture2" "de_dust/tilefloor01"
"%tooltexture" "nature/sandblend"
"$detail" "overlays/macro01a"
"$detailscale" .1
"$basetexturetransform" "center .5 .5 scale 1 1 rotate 0 translate 0 0"
"$basetexturetransform2" "center .5 .5 scale 1 1 rotate 0 translate 0 0"
"%detailtype" "smiff_test"
}

And in the hammer it appears only as the broken purple/black tex... dunno why... anyone has an idea?
