Any suggestions on where I could add details? I was thinking about adding the support wires I left out of the initial design and perhaps building out the prop a little more.

[General Vivi]

maybe add a small gun or two on it and wires are a good thing

OMG I JUST GOT MY TEST FROM GEARBOX!!! WEWT!! going to be working hard on that for 7 days

[Skjalg]

Just finished my skin!

Awesome planes you guys. We're going to have a veritable air force going here shortly, heh.

edit: Whats the test?

edit2: Anyone know of a good skin (video) tutorial? the one generalvivi had on his site wasnt downloadable

[General Vivi]

im looking at it now. aparently i have to make a ww2 style house . they provided lots of images. im kinda not sure about the whole thign but im reading the rules and stuff now.

[Skjalg]

okay, i got this excellent tutorial on skinning here:

http://waylon-art.com/uvw_tutorial/uvwtut_01.html

But at the end there he wants me to download and install texporter, but I cant figure out how to use it (cant find it in max). help?

edit: I specifically cant find the "Utilities panel > Utilities rollout > More... button". Okay I found it now it was at the top right (the hammer)

[General Vivi]

i have a uvw mapping video tutorial on my site. http://www.iwannamap.com in the tutorials/ modeling section. teaches max ^_^ might want to take a look into that? tho i think filefront is down atm .

[Skjalg]

yea, that was what i ment by not downloadable :]

I'll just have to wait a couple of days and watch it!

textporter is a plugin. Go to the hammer tab and load more and you'll find textporter. unless you're using max 8 in which then it is already built in.

[General Vivi]

if you have no luck im using max 7 and i have textporter shoot me a message ill give it to you. *goes back to work*

[Skjalg]

I figured it out after a while, but thanks for the tips

Bask in my nubness!
