hello,
i am creating a free farm game simulation with others, i have no modelling experiance but i can make models, so i may have some.

but i am having troubles i put a texture on from multiple pictures and i went to send the file over msn and the programmer opened it but the textures weren't there, is there a way you can save them or how do you send them.

thanks for your help in advance,
derek

The textures come from your own hard drive. The model is like a website. Say your pictures from the website are on a floppy disk. If so, your website won't have the pictures when you take the floppy out. Send the pictures with the model. The programmer may have to retexture the objects but if I'm not too mistaken, the models will keep the texture coordinate maps, so all he has to do is load the textures up again.

okay thank you so just send the pictures, with the model in a zip and all he would have to do is load the textures up and they should go were they are supposed to go?


also i already sent the pictures in a zip with all the model files, or do i need to send each picture seperatly?

thanks for your help though

You can send the model and the pictures together in a zip. Whether or not the pictures will texture the model automatically or not I don't know. They may still have to reload the textures on their end. You might want to name the objects so the programmer knows what textures go to what.

okay, thanks but is it becuase my texture names are too big, it displays a message like that when i try to export it. how do you make the names under 8 letters?

Right click and rename I'd assume.
