Stupid newbie question
How do I download the textures available at LeMog? I don't see a download option anywhere. Does one have to register, if so how, all I see is a place to sign in, not register?

Thanks

Re: Stupid newbie question
In all browsers, when you right click on an image, there's generally a "Save image" option.

Re: Stupid newbie question
I knew about that, but saving it that way, saves it as a jpeg, which the import Wizard wont except. How do you get the jpeg into Sweet Home 3D?

Thanks

Re: Stupid newbie question
The wizard accepts JPEG, PNG, GIF and BMP images.

Don't know why I'm getting a message saying:

The format of the chosen model isn't supported, please choose an other model.

I'm simply saving a chosen texture to my desktop, then dropping it into the import Wizard.

Please, paste here the link to the image you try to use, or describe how to find it, so I can check the problem.
What browser do you use?

Re: Stupid newbie question
I just tried and didn't have any problem.
Under Mac OS X, the fastest way is to drag the image in the page you mentioned and drop it on the desktop, then drag the created file on the desktop and drop it in the texture preview available in the texture dialog.

I must be doing something wrong. I thought you go to import furniture, and drop it in the import wizard. Sounds like you're saying something different. Where is texture preview and texture dialog?

Re: Stupid newbie question
Maybe an Import texture menu item is missing somewhere, but how could you conclude then that Import furniture menu item would do the same???
To import a texture you have to click on the Import button that appears in any texture modification dialog box. You can also drag and drop the image file in the texture preview of this dialog box.

Okay, so if I click on modify furniture, then click on texture, then select import, I can import the jpeg of the bamboo shades. Now if I draw a wall, place a window in it, then select texture, and choose the bamboo shade, it does not cover the window, just the frame of the window. How do I get the bamboo shade to cover my window?

Thanks

Re: Stupid newbie question
Most windows in SH3D are formed as having two materials: the window frame and the glass pane. When you apply a colour or texture, it's applied only to the window frame.

When you want to hang shades or blinds, you should apply your texture to a thin box that has the correct width and height to cover the window. Give the box the correct elevation, and place it in front of the window.
