3ds Max 5, Question

[DwarfZealot]

how do I export the uv map so that I can paint on it?

Go to the picture of the Hammer on the right tab (It's in the same line as the modifier and create bar) and click on it. You'll find a list of tools. Click 'More' then scroll to "Textporter." Open it, then you'll see a Height/Width section. Set those to what you want, then select the model you want to textport. It'll open up a picture of it, and you can save this to whatever file type you want.

I simply take screenshot of the UVW editor, cut that only the panel remains and resize the remaining part to 256x256.

lol ok sounds easy enough

Since it's nice to know...I put a picture here. Maybe Textporter is a plugin, been a long time since I had Max 5, but I know you can get it for that version.

I have Another question. How do you snap vertecies together?

 

[Mechanical Man]

Snap? You mean merge two or more vertices into one?

 

[DwarfZealot]
