Complete unit modeling tutorial*

[Remlap]

Ok so I did some research into the UVW map export for 7 and lower, the feature was not implemented until 8. Thats the bad news. Good news is that their is a free plugin that allows you to export the map in 7 as well!

Just download texporter for your version of max. Hope this helps you.

euhhm, maybe stupid question but how can i delete the half of the barbarian?

[Remlap]

apply edit mesh to the model, click select vertices mode. Selct the half of the model you want gone and press delete.

I assume this is so you can just copy+flip it afterwards so your result is identical on both sides ?

[Remlap]

Yes. Personally I use the symetry modifier because it copies flips and welds the two halves together. Much more effective imho.

[Lü Bu]

Yes it can be done that way too
