Models with 1blp, or 5 blps

[sk8er754]

Ive always wondered but never quite figured this out. Im wondering if I wanted to, setup multiple blps to texture something. Ex: 1blp for a face, 1 blp for shirt, 1 blp for pants etc. It seems like all blps for units are just 1 blp with seperate blps for like guts etc.

Main question, does the main blp for the unit itself have to be contained in 1 blp or can it be multiple? This question is just containted 2 one unit, multiple blps for 1 unit.

A unit doesn't require a single texture. The dragonhawk uses 2 textures. They are the same thing basically but it is still 2 textures. And the water elemental uses a bunch of textures.

This doesn't actually deal with texturing so I think I'm going to move this into a more appropriate place.

Woah this thread is shooting all over the place.

Frank why don't you read the thread before moving it? This deals with working with the model, not the textures.

I renamed the thread so Frank doesn't have a little accident again

It could be for either one lol. I was jus having issues applying more then 1 skin blp to a model cuz i wasnt sure how it was done. The anwser could be inside the dragonhawk model, ill look into exporting, converting into mdl and looking at its code.

No need to convert and export. Get Magos Model Editor and then open the dragonhawk model. It's much easier this way.
