Hey guys, Up until this point, I've been using just the standard materials that came with default Vue 5 Infinite. I'm trying to change the material of a rock to a bitmap I have...and later some bark and leaves. Unfortunately, all I get is .mat for options of materials. How do I use my bitmaps or convert them to .MAT files?

Hi, Ryan. If you open the material editor, the first tab (Colors) has 2 options, for Mapped picture and Procedural colors. To use a bitmap, click on Mapped picture. You'll see a black square; click on the small arrow at the bottom left, and you can browse to your bitmap.
