Terrain Mix Maps

[WeaponX]

Hi,

I have created a piece of terrain in 3DS Max using the Displace method and a heightmap. I am now trying to texture the terrain using mix map's, so that I can then import it into a game engine.

However, I have no idea how to begin texturing it. I know how to create mix maps in Max, but these dont show up in the game. I heard for games, you need to create the mix map in Photoshop by messing around with RGB and Alpha channels.

Any advise, or links to tutorials showing how to create mix maps would be a great help.

Thanks.
