Hi,
I need help again in 3d modelling. I used Lightwave before and I found it quite easy, but because I couldn't find a panorama plugin to it, I need to use 3d studio max. However it doesn't really seem to support lightwave formats So I would like to ask anybody who is uses/used 3d studio max to tell me: how can I put a texture on a 3d model? I know it is written in the help file and in tutorials, but I can't understand it

hello harvester...

i you want to put texture in your model..

in the viewport mode, press M and then a material editor will show up..

in the material ed coose 1 material and look for a small button near the diffuse color, press it

select bitmap and find your texture in your PC - OKay...

assign the new textured material to your model! see? easy eh?

if you find this tute awkward, or you want more explanations you can PM me! i hope this help!

Thanks, I hope I can do it now, I'll try it out Another question: is it possible to create a skin with 3dsmax? I mean I put diferent textures on a model, and then i want them to be in one skin, which could be used by other programs.

Hi Harvester I believe that a program called Bodypaint 3D Could help you there as someone in the game we are making is using this program and it sounds suitable for your needs (P.S I am not very sure whether you can create skin in 3DsMax Maybe a Okii could answer this question hehe hope this is what you might be looking for maybe it isnt but still A very good program for texturing skins and masking onto models ect & works with 3DS. good luck bbp_bigbadpeanut

sure! you can create skin... but the process will be quite difficult... alot of explaining to do...

maybe i'll help you step by step...

just tell the problem one at a time when you try to create your skin texture...
OKAY?

i hope it'll help!
