| - | Finally we make 15360 x 15360 image in Photoshop, open all the corner satellite pieces and paste them in the right places in the large final image, then flatten the image. | + | //Note: this part was not actually written for the Chernarus satellite merge tutorial, but you see how you can use the below for this purpose.// |
| - | All done. | + | This process takes your 20480 resolution satellite mask and texture TILES (top left, top right, bottom left and bottom right) and combines them into 40960 resolution image. Then it resizes tiles into 1024 size for visitor 3 importing jiggle. |
