Solved: dDo textures don't apply to model in 3DO

ibbi

hi everyone, im still new to ddo so im not sure if this is just me making a dumb mistake, but whenever i select a smart material in ddo and press create, i cant see it on my model in 3do and i cant figure out why. i have the id, normal and ao map loaded in, selected the colour id i want it applied to but still nothing. and it seems like the normal map that i loaded in isn't working for some reason  am i missing something here?

Hey Ibbi! May we take a look at some images of this problem?  

ibbi

it seems i solved the problem  i was going to load everything back up again to show you some pictures, but instead of pressing flatten like i always did before i thought id try pressing the keep layers button and that seems to have fixed the problem (i used psd files btw)   would you mind telling me why that is? i read the dialogue box but still could quite understand what it meant

Flatten removes the layer structure that dDo works with, so 3DO doesn't connect to it. Shall I assume that you're using CS5? This has been a common issue with that version of Photoshop.

yea im using CS5. Thanks for clearing that up
