Second problem.. I tried importing my object after getting one side texture mapped. Even though it looks fine in 3dstudio, in opstudio it is applying the whole texture not just the part I specified in the map:

The texturing thing could be a couple of things

1. You didn't set the W value to 0.0 in the UVW mapping rollup, I'm sure you did though becuase it would be more screwed than that.

2. Opstudio just uses UV's it gets from the OBJ file, so it possible that they havn't been exported with the OBJ file.

3. If you are using a different texture than the default 190, it may be possible that the OBJ material file either wasn't exported from MAX or the material references are missing from the OBJ file itself. In this case OPS will just use the current texture for the first poly of the LOD and so it might be that it looks this way with the UV's you setup in max.

Other than that I don't know. I could have a look at the OBJ/MTL files or MAX file if you want.

- I was using the fw190 texture map which has the pieces arranged so you have to use W when mapping, I'll have to find another plane that doesn't have the fuselage and the wings oriented in the same direction

- I was using the material editor to orient the texture, I should have been applying it as a big plane UVW map the size of the entire bitmap and then scaling the UVW map accordingly. At least it seemed to work when I did this.

Am I on the right track or is that going to wind up with the whole .tif being applied to each object rather than the part I'm actually interested in? IE, will this increase texture overhead for the video card?

Now how can I concentrate on work this afternoon with that Yak crying out to get textured ????
