Just a door...

[madcd]

Ok, is there any way to create geosets using 3ds 4.2 and blizz art tools or am I gonna ahve to get down and dirty with the mdl? The problem I have is I'm trying to make a simple sliding door, but even tho there are 3 objects in 3ds when I export it, it exports as a single geoset.

is it even nescercary to have differant geosets, or can I simply use animate it as a single geoset?

The model is a door that slides into a section of wall, the section of wall is included in the model.

It's normal. Just finish the 3dsmax scene(animate, add particles, camera, etc) and then export it. Art tools will convine the geosets into 1 if they have common characteristics, like visibility, material, and TVertex animations.

aha! I found it, had accidentally replaced the texture on the door with the one on the frame, thus making them export as one geoset, thanks that was a rather helpful hit, that got me ni the right direction

I think that's a lesson to all you new modellers, don't export models when you're knackered at 1:30 in the morning XD
