I envy you...

Well i try now and again but i always fail in something. I made this monitor:

Then i tried to texture it.

And ofcourse i failed:

If any one wants to find out why i fail heres the max:

Of course i tried offset and stuff.

Just keep practicing...

Read the max tutorials and get a solid grasp of the basics before you ask people what you're doing wrong; there's not much that anyone can say to you other than "learn the basics".

[Spellbinder]

about bolean operations?

Try not to boolean if you can avoid it, I find I spend more time tidying it up afterwards.

about bolean operations?

About any and every modeling technique / tool available. Just run through some of the tutorials -- there's loads; look through them and find something that covers the basics of the type of modelling you're interested (likely polygonal). Every technique and way of working is ammo for your arsenal.

Don't get so down on yourself Spellbinder, you're a good person and if Max can't see that than maybe you shouldn't spend time with him

Indeed you should date Maya, i heard she's quite hot

I'd do her

yeah man it looks like you could utilize a lot more space in your uv map. You have that whole square, make the best of it.

[Spellbinder]

Well the space is of lesser consearn at this time since i had to do something wierd anyway for the texture not to fit whatever i do.

[skdr]

The .max file you provided doesnt even include coordinate maps for textures...

[Spellbinder]

Ok thx, i guess, i don't know what that means.

That's the best thing you could do
