I want to scan an image into my computer and then convert it to a mat. I have a mat converter, but I don't quite understand what to do next. Can someone plaese tell me?

*deep breath*... ok here goes

I take it that your scanning a picture or sumin... so heres how...

Scan the image and export it as a BMP if you can... if you cant then export it as a JPG or GIF and then convert it with some other program to a BMP ... 256 color if your making it a 8-bit mat and to a 16bit BMP if you want it to be a 16 - bit mat ..... next make sure you have the size of ir a multiple of 2.... on each side .... 128x128 is a good size ... or 256x256...... then once you have your BMP ... load it into mat master and export that as a mat into your JED mat directory .... and it should show up in jed as whatever you named it...... hope i helped any...

Remeber as well if you don't want your textures to have a HOM effect ensure that any black pixels are set to the second most black color value. I like to use PSP because you can modify a palette to exclude the complete black color value then you can apply that palette to your textures.
