Re: Converting Cubemaps' Up Axis
OK, here are a couple files to play with Cubemap cross layout, mapped onto a cube in Max. Render to a six-bitmap cubemap by using a Reflect/Refract map in the Material Editor (how to) 3dsmax2010_cubemap-cross_on_a_cube.zip Cubemap six-bitmap layout, mapped onto a cube in Max.

Re: repetitive texturing
rather than start a new thread, I'll bump this up... The vertex blending tutorial I found relates to importing it into Q3, (http://www.bakdesign.net/tm/tutorial/3dsmax_tutorial.html) is there a tutorial out there that shows how to do it so it displays internally in max renders? This model will not be exported to a game…
