[YOUrezahnpastaTUBE]

Thank you :)

[azzarocks157]

how exactly do i get my folds to be that navy colour?

[HaraldX123]

HUUUGE thanks, this video really helps me! Finally, I will be able to texture my nodels :)

[LordHalo2]

in gameMaker8 .obj models carry over the shape, but not the textures, any help?

[bitplane]

@LordHalo2

Did you get an .mtl file with your obj? That should contain the material definition, it needs to be kept in the same directory as your obj file. Open it in Notepad and make sure the texture path is correct. Make sure that GM8 supports the texture format you're using

[BaconSword]

How do you open the outliner thing? And answer please...

[CycerMan]

I texturize my work, i can see that the texture its lots of better than in Wings 3D.

Wings 3d make texture look sucky and blury.

Whats the problem?

[bitplane]

@CycerMan, Make sure your texture is a power of two in each dimension. For example 1024x1024 or 512x256. If that isn't the problem it may just be a texture filtering issue to do with your hardware.

It's impossible to give a proper diagnosis without screenshots though.

ty so much,after pulling hair out for ages i finally be able to make progress on model making,

[avasfirenation]

Nice Vid, thanks! You helped me very mutch with texturing! A Question whats the different between the function unfolding and Projection normal? Whats the better one, or when should i use which?

[bitplane]

@avasfirenation

If I remember correctly projection normal doesn't require marking edges for cutting, you use charts instead. It's been a while since I've done it though, haven't made anything interesting in ages.

You may also want to try the new completely automatic feature detection UV mapping.

This is a very well done tutorial. Very easy to follow. I had to pause at parts to read but it's still better than waiting hours for someone to get to the next step.

[bitplane]

@ChangeWasALie

Thanks, that was my idea. There are so many tutorials by people who enjoy the sound of their own voice, I'm not a big fan of mine, but I am a fan of information density.

[Jallenbah]

This is so useful, up until now I've just been struggling by exporting my models and using them with Lithunwrap.

Thanks!

[joey301]

I really need words for these to be helpful

[LaNoireDetruit]

Thank you so much!

I didn't know I could choose the edges to cut along -this makes it hell of a lot easier ;)

[movieman37]

Great tutorial, thanks.

[peacestation3]

[TheLocoHobo]

Oh thank you thankyouthankyouthankyou! I looked for uv mapping, but its all windows! Finally a good easy utorial to follow for my wings model!

[Uuuuuumarill]

U are a genius! I searched a lot and now this is great!

[luke246810]

Thanks for the Tutorial, oh and nice model :)

[abd2get]

[astralrod1]

Thanks so much! I never had see in other tutos how made this end step for to do the image file.

Thanks again and good luck!

[AlphaRaptor32]

how can i change the default texture i use?

[aladarnd]

OMG, it worked!!! none of the other tuts helped at all!! thx so much!!!!!!!

[starchristian456]

how can i gedt the outliner meny to appear?

[bitplane]

It's usually hidden off the right hand side of the screen.

I'm sure you found it by now but maybe this will help other people in the future :)

[Valeboss]

How do i open the outher window?

[abd2get]

hey, when my map window appears (the window with coloured letters) my 3D shape isn't changing at all... it should be shaded with coloured letters right??? or there's something i should do to make it active??

[TheDuke1993]

how do i open that thang to make my texture external.

[bitplane]

right click on the texture and select make external

[borkusgod]

[Dejaiin]

Misfit Model is another option.
