Texture Problem

[Hallo]

I have just made a Star Destroyer model, but I can't texture the hull. The rest of the ship is alright but the hull will only show up black. Anyone have a solution for this?

 

This is it in Gmax.

And this is it when I try and texture it in LithUnwrap.

can't help you! but nice model! Mask is great for this type of thing... if he's arround, he'll surely set thing straight

Hi, looking good so far.

Have you already assigned a material to the selected faces (after unhiding any hidden faces) ?

 

What about the texture file, is there something painted on the areas, that your model’s faces cover ?

 

Did you run the Uvmapping menu beforehand ?

[Hallo]

Ok, I found out that pressing reset on all the colour options in the LithUnwrap material editor fixed the problem.

 

Next problem is conv3ds. The tutorial says to open up a dos prompt. I did this and it tells me this program cannot be run in dos mode.

Do you have the "command prompt here" tool from the Ms-Powertoys ?

 

Alternatively you can create a text file, with the following line:

 

conv3ds -m -v2 "close.3ds"

 

and rename the file's extension to .bat. Then a double-click on that file should convert the model close.3ds into .x.

I created a .txt file copied whatz you said into it. And when I changed the name to .bat... nothing happened. What was wrong?

and the file is called something.bat ? Then the icon should change for example and a double-click should start the commands inside it.

I created a new text fil entered what you said and called it convert.

I tzen renamed it convert.bat and then... nothing. What is wrong?

Did the explorer show batch file (Stapelverarbeitungsdatei) as file description ?

Umm and you did double-click it ?

I'm wondering if our modelling section shouldn't be renamed to Mask's Q&A Section.

i think 'ask the Masked Guru' would work too
