I want to use a 8k mars texture which is 180 degrees rotated. In my alt texture code :

AltSurface "Mars 5" "Sol/Mars"
{
Texture "redmars8k-bmp-um-redcorr.dds"
}

what line should I add to rotate it of 180 degrees ?

Add the line

under texture, and above the final "}"

It didn't worked !

I wrote this code :

AltSurface "Mars 5" "Sol/Mars"
{
Texture "redmars8k-bmp-um-redcorr.dds"
Orientation [ 180 0 1 0 ]
}

Well, the texture is still in a wrong orientation.

Hm...

Not sure so.. Perhaps Grant can see what's wrong?

Orientation affects the model, not the texture, so I would have been surprised to see it work in AltSurface.
If you can open the dds in an image editor, Cham, you need to offset it sideways by half its own width.

How can I open a dds file on a Mac ?

I didn't found any plugin for Photoshop, Mac version.

Whoops... Sorry about that Cham!
