Hello!

Any image format that is readable by Vue will work. I would recommened a format that doesn't lead to a lot of loss due to compression, though. I frequently use TIFF (.tif) for this purpose. PNG is another good option.

Once you have the tileable image saved, I would recommend the following work flow:

Go to Vue and load a simple sphere or cube.

Load a Vue material that is similar to what you want to set up

Now open the material editor and go to the color tab

set the coloring mode to mapped picture and load your tile.

Now you need to adjust all parameters until it looks like you want

then save as a new material and you are set.

 

Pay special attention to the scale and tiling options. They will make a big difference. For the bump setup you could initally just use the color image.
