Hmm, okay. I have Deep UV as well so I guess I can experiment and see what works best for me. This is definitely a low poly model I am working with.

lol, well I could have told you that about reflection maps, they look AWFUL in MW. Now they animated textures I know can indeed work as I have seen one, but getting it to work may be another story entirely.

I just don't get it, it looks so good and then in game it does nothing I could have missed something i suppose, his screenshots were very blurry i couldn't make the buttons out too well. And it was a different verion of max as they weren't in the same place either. I had visions of doing all these amazing things with my new found skills

Cali, you'll get there! It's *always* something really minor! ;D
Have you tried calling in a favour on the PDS site?

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with the reflection maps, I've yet to see one, even ones made by people really experienced in Max, that looked good in MW.
The animated textures are worth looking into though because I have seen them look good in the game. Well it's frustrating I know, I spent a long time figuring out Alpha channels but I think I more or less have it down now.

Oh no! It took a long time Motoki? I've decided to give up on PhotoShop and *only* use it for alpha. And I thought it would be easy, no chance!

Well at the moment i'm sticking to what i know best, i'm trying to turn a breton hand into a load of bones just by texturing it.
Just thought it would save both me and Motoki a lot of hassle. I know the normal hands fit okay so just thought i'd give it a go.

Mebyon: Actually this was back when I was still trying to do alpha channels with PSP. Once I found out they are quite easy with Photoshop I never did them in PSP again.

I've been sussed! ;D Nah! I couldn't be having with all that expensive black clobber and I'm pretty sure that white makeup and black lipstick would cause a riot in the village! ;D On the other hand..... might be fun!
