In order to get a decent UVmap on any 'home made' models, Lithunwrap is essential. MS3D just spurts anything out, and texturing accurately is impossible. Just thought that you ought to know

...but importied things still keep their maps right?
...and where can I get Lithunwrap?

Yes, imported things keep their maps, but if you add any polys they need severe tweaking to map properly. Have a look at that page I mentioned in RedwoodTreeSprite's thread. I got my Lithunwrap a couple of years ago

That cs-girl tutorial is dreadful! I'm going to have to have a look at a much lower level tutorial. (Anyway, I'm not up for making yet another Barbie Doll!)

Alright, alright, what about this tutorials page? It's basic but does seem to cover all that one would need to know to create foodstuffs ;D

Vitally important breakthrough (for me at least I have discovered a way to get bones and animation created in milkshape into max ;D You need to export your MS3D file as a half life SMD, both the reference and animation, then using a Maxscript ( here) import the 2 files . . . . and it works. I imagine creatures will work no problem, though biped 'stuff' will need further investigation. Physique will probably work too !

Fiddle long enough and press all the buttons and somethings bound to work........or break ;D
So does this mean we will be seeing creatures from you now?
