Trim Boards For Tudor Style House

[Kilgore Trout]

The easiest way to create a new material is to copy one that is already close to what you want. Click with your right mouse button on the material you want to copy in the library browser and hit copy. Next, right click in your "my materials" folder and paste the copy. Now you can "open" the copied material and make changes to it.

If you want to modify a jpg, you have to first find it. Most of the jpgs that ship with the program are installed in a folder called "textures" and have the same names as the materials. Find the one you like, using Windows Explorer, and make a copy of the file into your "my textures" folder. Once you have a copy of the jpg file, you will need to open it in a photo type editing program where you should be able to change the color. You can also download new jpgs from the web and put them in this same folder for using with materials. Once you have a new jpg file you want to use, you can select it when you are editing the material in the program.
