How do you create skins for new models?

I have 3dsmax and photoshop

You create a uvw unwrap for your model
You then use a plugin called texporter which you have to download and turn your co ordinates into an image.
Then you use photoshop to edit this image.
Then you drag the image icon onto your model in 3ds max and you can edit it and everything.

how do you export models from the game?

Import you mean? I would like to know that actually.

I made a video tutorial on how to unwrap sometime back. I'll have to make another one.

I meant "how do you get models out of the game so you can edit them"

I guess I would need to know how to import them too.....

Use HMT and open a map file, then locate to the bitmaps folder and then you have all the skins, take the skin, open it, edit it and then "inject" it back into that map file.

I have made a few unwraping tutorials which havnt been released, maybe i will release them one day...

How do you get the actual model out, not the skin?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 12:48 pm

Just find the model and export it as an onj, same program you use (HMT) and it is easier to edit the model in a program called milkshape 3d.

is it possible to open .obj files with 3dsmax?

Sonictag · Post by **Sonictag** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 1:15 pm

Yes it is, but you need to put this plugin in your C:\3dsmax7\Plugins or similar for whatever 3ds max version you are using.

sorry for the double post but is there a way to skin new models with milkshape? Like texporter but....for milkshape

You can just take a screenshot of the UVW co ordinates window and paint over it, which is the olld fassion way.
