3ds and ac3d for texturing (help)
I have tried googling this problem.
I have come here, and searched for a collective...long butt time lol. I have found to fix a few small things, however this is still the problem:
I made everything with ac3d when it comes to mapping . however for characters and animation, i go with 3ds max.
However, I texture with ac3d still, because 3ds texturing is....no where near as easy for me, and I do better with ac3d.
When I import a .3ds file from ac3d into 3ds max...there are problems.
the model is invis, and I learned to fix that by messing around by changing it to mesh/poly, although sometimes it goes haywire lol.
however, texturing does not come up. I know the texture has to be in the same file as the 3ds file, and its name cannot be long.
so far, for example.
I have my 3d folder on my desktop
in there, is replica
in there, is the .3ds model from ac3d (named test) and the texture (jpeg) named ba
did I miss a step or overlook something in 3ds max itself? or is this an error?
either way, any help would be great, because if I cant fix this...i will have to spend a long time trying to figure out how to texture with 3ds max...and put ac3d aside for months until I map again.
thank you.
