Eric2575 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 First of all, your sand image has to be seamlessly tileable. If it is, you can apply it as a decal to your ground model. Zoom out in the modeling window until you can see the whole ground model. Once there, import the image as a decal - you can drag it into the modeling window - and select "decal". Make sure the decal overlaps the ground model on all sides by a little bit. Now go to the decal folder in the model and set the decal repeat (x,y) to the value you want - depends on the scale of the ground and resolution of the image. That should do the trick.
