Calling all artists!

Are you an artist that can help us put textures on the 3D objects we come up with for the MoonBase? We need your help!! Here are step by step instructions on how you can put your art skills to work:

1. Save the file http://crossler.com/test/games/MBO_Objects.zip to your desktop
2. Unzip it to a folder on your desktop
3. Run the file named TorqueShowToolPro 1.5.exe within the directory you unzipped
4. Accept all the default settings when installing
5. On your desktop, click on the link named Torque ShowTool Pro

Within the ShowTool Program:

1. Click “OK” to use the program in evaluation mode (email me if your eval expires)
2. In the upper left hand, click the light green Project Directory button
3. Click Modify
4. To the right, click the gray “Add Directory” button
5. To the right of the textbox under “Path to Project Directory”, click the right arrow
6. Navigate to the directory you uninstalled the main zip file to (For me, this was C:\Documents and Settings\crossler\Desktop\MBO_Objects )
7. Click in the name box, and call it “Moon Base”
8. Click OK
9. Click the light green Load DTS button to load a DTS object to view (this has the 3D object wrapped in the 2D textured images)

Editing the images

1. Once you have the object loaded, to find out what textures are used, click the light pink Material List button on the left
2. This will list the name of the PNG or JPG image in the directory that the object is textured with
3. Open your favorite editor and edit this image file, and recheck with the ShowTool to see how your changes look (you can click and drag on the buttons to the top right to rotate the 3D image)
4. You can change the size of the images, as long as they have one of these sizes: 128x128 or 256x256 or 512x512 or 1024x1024 (they must be square)
5. Mail us the changed images files when done, we’ll add them to the game!

THANK YOU!
