Title: Texture Baking MAX6
Post by: Roanoke on May 15, 2005, 02:36:08 pm

I have a model with a Sub/Multi-Obj Map and 13 or so Material IDs. I'm attempting to use Texture Baking to "consolidate" these into one large  material/map. It produces a Shell Material, which looks fine in Max, but when I export to POF. the model renders pure white.

First, is this even possible ?
Second, how do I go about it in a way that will work in FS ?

I reckon this would be a great help to TAP if I could get it working.

In the render menue, somewhere you'll find a render to texture or render to file option... It automatically remaps the texture coordinates on the model if you then use that texture iirc...

Toolbar-> Rendering->Render to texture (Or press 0)
 
There's alot of fiddling you have to do to get it just right, though.

That's what I'm using (I should learn to use the correct name) but Game engines can't read procedural maps (so i'm told)

Might just sod it and unwrap the fella
