Hey guys,

Im trying to make grafitti on the walls in my map .. But I havent found a proper way to do it yet.. Either they stick out like boxes, they arent there at all or they are multiplied 300 times all over the wall!! :S
How do you guys do it?

Use either the Decal or the Overlay tool. Works fine for me.

Oh I'd agree to that. Any time I have questions, I ask Bill. He knows hammer alot better than I do. Most of the time, questions I get are pretty basic, but for advanced stuff Bill is the man!

here's something i did earlier, I would have no idea how to get it onto a map, asked SpikedRocker or someone else who's knowledgeable in mapping.

Daze, if you want, you can make a graffiti with your own name and I'll add it to my map:001_tongue:.
Tho, make it a texture yourself please, I'm too lazy xD

what do you mean, like make the background myself? i can do that i think, but then wouldn't you have to match the same background with a bit of your map :S

Just make the background transparent, not a solid color.

lmao, i've tried but i'm clueless as how to do it.

MS Paint's default is a white background, i cant make it no colour.

You need to use photoshop to do that.

Use the quick mask tool. Create an alpha channel. If you google search those two terms you should be able to find a good tutorial on it.
