did you read the part about in-depth! can you please tell me what uvw mapping dose and how to do it??????!!!!!

UVW Mapping does: get skins to line up with the models

I have never used Wings 3d. In 3ds max you click some menu thing...then click UVW Map. Then you just enter things for the skin to follow. like size and what not.

I don't think 3ds Max is compatible with a Macintosh, but I could be wrong.

ok i tried the uvw mapping lined every thing up loaded it in to the map and it still didn't work.....

are there any other apps for mac that can uvw map things better than wings3d?

[Eaton]

3ds Max isn't free. Last time I checked, it was about $3,000.

[evilbeast]

is it even possible to uvw map stuff right on wings3d?
or do people just use different apps?

3ds Max isn't free. Last time I checked, it was about $3,000.

Depends on what version.
