Stupid newbie question

Post by Mystic_fool »

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

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

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

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?

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?

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.
