Hi all,
I'm having difficulty creating a new terrain set, it always comes out with black boxes on it when viewed at a distance, I've tried different methods each time but I always get the same end result. Does anyone know of a good detailed tutorial that works through this process step by step? Either using GIMP or Photoshop, either is fine. Thanks!

Regards,
Nathan

While quick and dirty shows how to combine the diffuse _D and specular _S maps using layer masks.
Don't forget to delete the _S maps after your done they aren't needed.
Some thing I did forget to do is saving the new texture with save as and apply compression DXT1 and apply mip maps.
