Supreme Commander FA Modding - Unit Textures
All videos in this series are for Forged Alliance. Supreme Commander isn't much different, but the Seraphim were obviously only in FA.
Unit textures aren't as simply as some more popular strategy games but they're easy enough once you understand the layers. Apart from the tangent space map which doesn't make any sense in-game.
Covering albedo, normalsTS and specteam. I don't think transparent textures on units are possible. Animated textures for treads also covered.
Do not use assets at the same time, they all have the same GUID and will overwrite each other.
