I agree with Gmanx and Cheapy, drop Milkshape like a hot rock. I used it to get started and I use it every now and then to import/export files but I really wouldn't recomend that anyone use it. The biggest problem is that it just doesn't support the current generation of games. Blender is the best bet for free apps. But if…
Yeah, I finally solved my problem! The textures have transparency now, but it was quite a hassle. Because it might be of some use to others, I will try to explain what I did to get it to work. I exported the model from Milkshape to UT's Skeletal format (.psk), so I didn't have to animate the model myself and could use the…
There's your problem right there. Just load up a checker pattern bitmap. It has to be a physical texture file that you apply on to your mesh before you export it to the .ase file. You can't just rename a default material in max, or apply some sort of max-generated checker/image. It has to be a physical file on your hard…

Hey Polycounters, I have a question/in need of some help. I have been wracking my brain trying to figure this one out for a while now. So I have this tool that lists the stats of objects in the scene. The last column of my tool lists the number of materials you have assigned to the faces of each object. This works fine,…
Hey guys, me again. Some of you may remember a program me and a friend made some time ago. The tool would grab a part of your screen and ask for text to go along with it. In the end it would compile an html file with all the images and corresponding text in it. I have been working on a newer version of it and started…
Hello guys, I am currently working on a Maxscript Tool for 3ds Max called xNormal Batch Baker. I have created this tool to improve my workflow between 3ds Max and xNormal when I'm baking maps without exiting 3ds Max. I've tought that maybe could be useful for the rest of the community. xNormal Batch Baker for 3ds Max -…
Hi, we are looking for an artist to DESIGN, MODEL, TEXTURE and RIG mechas for an in development indie turn based strategy game. The style we are looking for is militaristic/realistic (think Front Mission) although we are open to input from the selected artist. This is a remote offering and the artist is expected to manage…
not sure exactly, but maybe you know how to read this: the ICC profile info shown from affinity photo after opening it. Not sure if the RGB/8 format dropdown indicates that this is RGB8 or thats just the default selection. Is there some other way to check? Art Rage doesnt seem to have any export options to change it, so…
Hello everyone, Im new to the 3D modeling scene having started some introductory courses in 3D Modeling and Game Art at Austin Community College. They have been very helpful in getting me started but everyone says, especially our instructor, that the real way to master the craft is to spend time on the forums. Here then…
