It really depends what sort of textures you wish to create. For a typical building the easiest way would be to find a photo of the object you wish to texture or take your own with a digital camera. Then edit it in a suitable paint program & convert it to the appropriate format with DXTBmp.

This will work fine if your project is purely for your own use. It might not be such a good idea if you ever intend posting your work for others to use. I find it best to keep everything separate if possible.

I would suggest keeping your own macros in a special folder (mine is named MyMacros) in the FSSC (or the design application you use) root directory. Paste a copy of the textures into FSSC\Texture so the Export Wizard can find them. Treat each new project as a separate area & activate it via the Scenery Library as for any other 3rd party scenery. Apart from default textures & common texture libraries I would expect to find all 3rd party textures necessary for the new area in the Texture subfolder of the new area. This can save lots of problems for end-users trying to install your scenery.

PS. If you use this method distributing the files couldn't be easier. Simply zip up the appropriate folder from your own Addon Scenery folder. If it works for you it should work equally well for others.

Glad my suggestion worked. If you don't have a digital camera you can use any suitable photo. There's plenty of images of all types of buildings posted on the WWW.
