[doublecool]

First I going to need a lot...alot of help and would first like to thank all at the outhouse for some basic's of painting to get me started

I would like to paint the CR1 Champ Float Version

I down loaded Paint.net and loaded it and tried to open the floats to start but I getting a error message "ther was an unspecified error while opening the file" it happens on all the dds file not just the floats

Hi Doublecool, you will need this freeware program to get your files into Paint.net (I use Paint.net myself and it works well) and set Paint.net as the default editor

I would suggest you check out these tutorials

http://www.calclassic.com/repaint.htm

or one of the many others available, enjoy

PS almost forgot, make sure you uncheck MipMaps in box half way down sreen on right side of DXTbmp

looks way better than some of my early efforts, think you're doing great. I'm sure it will be the first of many. Cheers
