Wings 3D help.

Abelson

Hey guys, first time poster here and just started fiddling with 3D models.

I was wondering if there is anyone amongst you guys who know your way around Wings. And the problem I have is that I dont know how to import textures to it.

I think I'm doing alright otherwise, I'm able to export UWmaps to photoshop, not sure what I'm supposed to do now though. How can I import the photoshop texture to Wings?

I have searched alot for tut's showing how its made, but have had no luck. Do I perhaps need another program for the texturing? And if so, could you perhaps give me a few examples of those programs?

Appreciate any help.

I guess this would fit better into 2d/3d discussion, not GD.

But anyways here's how you do it:

Under the menu option there is a window called "outliner" where all objects, materials and textures are listed.
If you do a "import image" from the file menu the texture should show up in the outliner window, where you can connect it then to a material (you can create a new one by right clicking on the object and selecting material-> new) by "dragging" the texture onto the material. If you do so a menu should pop up asking what type to texture it should be used, e.g. diffuse, gloss or bump/normal map.

That's it Not exactly rocket science

P.S.: There is a quite annoying bug in the newer Nvidia drivers that slows down Wings3D quite a lot. So if you experiencing very slow selection, but fast rotation etc you have to either revert to I think pre 9.x drivers, or upgrade to the very newest betas. More on this on the Wings3D forums. But it sure is annoying the hell out of me

Ahh, finally, thanks a lot!
