read ObeOne's post in this forum on "full proof texture transitions"...after that look at the menu on the left. Highlight Traxx Help then highlight Textures...then start reading

You'll need a paint program too. You can use MS Paint, but there's many many better ones.

Paint Shop Pro www.jasc.com

Photoshop www.adobe.com (I think)

Photopaint www.corel.com

But you'll need to take some time to learn how to use them. Check MIYH's notes on this site for using Photoshop, as well as Alpine's notes for using PSP.

If you're gonna get Corel Photopaint, better do it soon. The company's in a pretty bad way and they're predicting the worst for Corel.

Their HQ is here in Ottawa where I live, and every move they make is big news

I have a simple tutorial for creating textures for a track in traxx on my website. Its located on the 'utilities' page in the appropriate catagory.

You live in Australia?

I pity you. Poor boy.

I wasn't suggesting you come to "Ottawa or whatever you call it" (after all, it's only the capital of Canada, apparently the education system in Au. is somewhat lacking,) I was just commenting on Corel.

Hey Andy I love Corel... I've been using it since version 3 and I think Corel rocks! The best thing to come out of Canada since ....er (I'm asking the family and it seems to be "moose turds")

I know about Corel's probs - I think they got too big when they got into the Ventura stuff, shouldv'e stuck to what they were good at - a kick-ass graphics program, and expanded on that. Oh well, at least Bill Gates don't own 'em (yet).
