Put the firsnow.bmp file (or whatever you decided to call it)in the Vue 4 Plants folder. Generate your fir trees. You cannot generate them with the snowy texture. If you are using lots it is easier to generate them all and you will have only to change to the snowy texture once. Any added later will be made with the ordinary non-snowy texture and you will have to change their texture too. Go to Display menu and click on Display Material Summary. Find the material called Fir Tree Branch. Double click on the pic of the material to get it into the material editor. At the bottom left is a pic of the current texture. Make a note of which way round it is cos you have to rotate the new one to match. Hit the LOAD button, browse to the plants folder and select the firsnow.bmp file and load it. Use the curly arrows bottom right of the picture to rotate this one to the same position the original was in. One click on the arrow pointing left did it for me. That is it. OK your way out of the material editor and close the Display Materials Summary box. Your fir trees will then be snowy. If you add any more and get them with no snow, the easiest way to make them snowy too is open the Display Materials Summary and drag and drop the snowy Fir Tree Branch material to any non-snowy Fir Tree Branch materials. The non-snowy ones will vanish leaving you with only the snowy one that all your fir trees will then use. You can only change the texture in the Display Materials Summary box. If you try to get at it by selecting a tree and clicking the material display at the top right of the workspace you will spoil the tree because it has two textures and you will destroy the trunk texture. You can't use this for anything but fir trees. I make no guarantees about Vue 3 because I have not tried it, but it just might work with Vue 3 firs too. Carol
