if i want to convert a texture to be saved and used in the engine as water - or anything with the turbulence feature how do i do it ? i have tried to use the "save as" feature in different paint type programs but it wont save anything with an "*" at the beginning of the file name, I know windows wont allow certain characters to be in the name ("*" being one of them) so how do i get around this ?????

thanks jeff
