Editing the CLEA/HMVY
To edit CLEA/HMVY textures it is best to break them down to their RGBA channels and edit each channel individually.
For example in GIMP to separate them into their channels you would go to;
- Colors > Components > Decompose >
* Switch Color Model to RGBA if editing the HMVY * Keep Color Model as RGB if editing the CLEA
Once the Color Model is selected press OK
This will open another window/page with each channel now as layers. You can now edit each channel separately using the guide below to know what each channel does.
When you are finished making your edits go to;
- Colors > Components > Compose > Switch Color Model to RGBA and click OK
* Switch Color Model to RGBA if editing the HMVY * Keep Color Model as RGB if editing the CLEA
Once the Color Model is selected press OK
It will now open another window/page with the texture repacked with its channels together. You can now save your texture
- When saving your texture make sure the extension is .DDS not .dds
