    Default Applying textures in 3dsmax.

    Hello everyone,

    I made this tutorial on request. For someone who needed my help. It will explain how to apply textures to simple models in 3dsmax. I've packed some files you need for the mod and can be downloaded here.



    Step 1

    I've included an .obj file in the package, open it and convert it to "Editable Poly"

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Step 2

    Press "M" to open the material editor. Rename the texture to "brick" or something simular. Then click on the small box near "Diffuse:".

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 





    Step 3

    A popup will show up, double click on "Bitmap" and choose a picture.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 





    Step 4

    Click on the button as seen in the picture, now you will see your texture in the perspective view

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Step 5

    Select the model and pres "4" on your keyboard. Now you are in the "Polygon" mode. Select the lower part of your model.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Step 6

    Press on "Modifier List" and choose "UVW Map".

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Step 7

    Select "Box" and for the values below it mess a bit around. You'll see what happens. After this, convert the model to "Editable Poly" again.

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 


    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Step 9

    Now select the upper polygons and repeat step 6

    Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 



    Step 10

    Now, open the "Material Editor" again and repeat step 2 but name the material "roof". Repeat step 4 for viewing the texture in the perspective view.


    You're now done.

    I hope this tutorial will be helpfull to some people.
