paint alpha texture repeat

i have a large outdoor area, with a singular displacement of grass that
covers a very large area. I had a simple grass texture on it before at
about .75/.75 size, and it looked great from the top of the building (5
stories up), and just a bit blurred up close. I didnt mind.

Then i wanted to make it a blend with rocks, which i did... i inverted
it, and painted away. The rock parts look great, but the actual grass
parts are repeated every 4 feet and look like CRAP. Any ideas? oh yeah
this is on .75/.75 as well

no?

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

The scaling of each texture (in blends) is set inside the vmt file.

If you open the .vmt file of the texture that you're using, you'll see that there is a $basetexture and a $basetexture2. (you may need gcfscape to extract the vmt from the textures.gcf first). One of these $basetextures will have the grass texture as it's value, and the other will have the rocks.

If the grass reference is in $basetexture, then you'll want to edit the $basetexturetransform line. If it's $basetexture2, then you'll be editing the $basetexturetransform2 line.

The line may look something like this;

"$basetexturetransform" "center .5 .5 scale .25 .25 rotate 0 translate 0 0"

Try changing it to

"$basetexturetransform" "center .5 .5 scale 1 1 rotate 0 translate 0 0"

Save this file as a whatEverNameYouLike.vmt, somewhere in your materials directory, and use it in place of the one you have atm.
