That's great, and I didn't know it was so easy... but one problem with the tutorial:

You don't tell us where to put the VMT at all... so the actual work, which is very clear and well written ends up being for nought as I can't use it smiley.

Hopefully you get this fixed, and then I'll give it a ten.

C:Program FilesValveSteamSteamAppsaocrisanhalf-life 2 deathmatchhl2mpmaterialsYOUR_MATERIALS_FOLDER . I thought it was obvious. Guess not.

Anyway, this isn't a basic materials tutorial; it assumes that you already have some basic knowledge on materials.

Hey, I think it's fair to assume when you're writing a tutorial you should write it as if the reader hasn't a clue what you're talking about. I haven't looked too far into the directory structure, or what should go in say, "counterstrike source/cstrike", and what should go in "sourcesdk_content/cstrike".

Anyways, great tut, thanks.

Very good, well written tutorial. i just have to ask to distribute your map with this effect you have to embed the vmf in the .zip right?

Nice tut, its so easy!

(-2 for lack of texture folder info, should really edit that into the tut)

Rival whats to know if you have to zip the VMT with your map. I want to know how to make the texture thumb nail.

Could be a million reasons. Best to take it to the editing forums.

You could even square off the illustration .jpg, and use it as the texture preview in hammer by pointing at it in the %tooltexture string.
i'm not sure if it needs to be a specific size, but the ones i made at 512x512 worked fine.

%tooltexture myblends/snowscene would tell hammer to look in materials/myblends for snowscene.jpg

Great tutorial, well written and a very nice example picture.

Nice one, it's a good thing this compiles into the BSP aswell.
