Title: Scoob, Galemp, Max users?- UV co-oridinate generation?
Post by: Colonol Dekker on September 18, 2008, 07:58:09 pm

Right guys :)
I made this model in Truespace, converted it to an .OBJ and got into Max. But my uv mappings gone all tits-up.

Here's the max file. Any advice guys?

PS, The models one of several i've been working on for a few weeks. (Thought my old fighters needed somewhere to live)

OBJ generally preserves UV mapping. If you want to rescue it from the Truespace file, I can't help you... but I can tell you how to map it anew.

In max, yes pls :)

I dunno if it has any bad co-ordinates (the files attached above) or if it has none. That's what confuses me.

Can you export to 3ds? 


Or..... save as cob, export with 3d exploration as a 3ds file.

Colonel, why don't you sign onto ICQ? I can walk you through it that way.

I thought the Max file would show any anomolous settings i had.
I'll get on ICQ soon. I'm four fifths through a delicate file process............:arrr:

Here's some advice:

1) Keep texture names short. Max doesn't like long textur enames

2) Use Lithium Unwrapeer to convert mapped models from TS to Max. Vice-versa is not necessary.

I swear by Lithunwrap, it's what i used in this case :yes:
I'm just curious as to how to reset my UVW to XYZ as when i use the obvious modifier, the sides are fine, but the top goes stripey X(
