well you can use any image editor as long as your can save as tgas. A plus is if you can use alpha channels for the tgas so that you don't have to make additive particles only.

nices effects there Ambershee. How'd you get a space background there... just change/add terrain stuff? (hmm... maybe I'm getting off topic lol).

[Chrizz]

yeah its an terrain skin that changes it to space

Hostile made it to for LOTR:BMFE mod

Well, Hostile used normal terrain textures, but I decided they weren't suitable for ZH modding, especially not for the scale of some of the decals I wanted. I tweaked worldbuilder slightly to remove a few file limitations, and used the same technique that's used for drawing roads with very large, semi transparent decal objects, all over a very basic starfield terrain texture. The nebulae are based on water type fields
