well unfortunately i cant help you. but you can help me, haha
i am using gmax as well, i can make the model, convert it to mesh obj and all that, and save it. now, im trying to add a skin. ive made the ksin, but i dont know how to assign the skin file, let alone which faces to what part of the skin. ive been searching and searching for a tut on this, butthey all say goto the material navigator to the material editor, that is supposedly in the upper right part of screen. and yet, my gmax has no such thing, ive spent well over 30 mins searching every button on the damn program, let alone searching for another method of doing this. ive tried the chili skinner script as well, but i see no way of assigning a file to my model still. there must be something easy im missing, but im a pretty through person, i dont get it.... please anyone, what the heck am i missing? im musing gmax by discreet v 1.2 ive got all 3 main toolbars out, what do i do?? ty for reading this and any info you may supply
*the upside if you help me is i will be adding models for everyone to dl, i will add many i have dl'd from other sites (doing all proper means of it, giving credit to who deserves it and all that) but allowing us all to have fun with them! i cant upload them now because they are not mdx/mdl versions, so i have to reapply their skins SOMEHOW =/ ty-
