Not modeling, but combining the model and the texture

[Unwrapping] - Unwrapping a finished texture on a finished model.

Good people of the Imperium, I need your assistance.

As some of you already know I'm working on my first map and almost everything is completely new to me. I figured many things out on my own, and on several occasions I was helped by members of this site. The tarraining is going pretty well and in a week I hope to either release several screenshots, or hosting the map here (just the tarrain) for preview and remarks.

But I simply cannot figure this out!

For my map I made a model of a building on 3dMax 9 and a texture on photoshop. I know I need to unwrap it now, but when I start reading the tutorial on the subject it's like reading Latin.

So I was wondering if anyone could unwrap it for me?

I could give it a try.
But i don't have 3dsmax so can you pls export as .3ds or any other file that i am able to open it with milkshape?

 

[Danzel]

A glimmer of hope just died. Despite my best efforts can't find any appropriate converter. I'll keep trying though. Maybe I get lucky.

 

[ZIR]

Which 3dsMax are you using? There are special exporters with which you can export your model to the format used by warcraft for some of the versions of 3dsmax.

 

[Danzel]

3dMax 8.

 

[Danzel]

Just read up that .max is 3dMax exclusive file. Converters (3d Exploration too) don't work.

So thank you for the effort anyway))

 

[ZIR]

But i can't believe that you can't export the model to any other formats.
Isn't there a export button anywhere in the menus of your 3dsmax, if yes it is enough if you export it to a .3ds file. Then I can import it with milkshape.

 

[Danzel]

Okay, now I'm feeling dumb. Happy, but dumb. At least according to what I picked from the forums on the conversion subject I'm not the only one like this

The first thing i realize your texture doesn't have a part for the roof it only has a texture for the floor. I assigned the white floor to the house.
Here is a picture.

 

[Danzel]

Is it possible to apply the texture separately to each of the bigger walls?

 

[ZIR]

Yes it is.
I applied it separetly.
I can split up the model into as much parts i want and then i can aplly to each part a different texture.

 

[Danzel]

That. Is. Awesome.

 

[Danzel]

ZIR, you there, my friend?)

 

[Danzel]

Texture

Will this do?

i_brg_doom, sorry about that. Bit inattentive, really.

it would not hurt to read the rules would it? there is an edit button that allows you to edit your post so that you dont have to post 3 times in a row.

 

[takakenji]

omg triple post.

 

[ZIR]

Now it looks like this but i need something for the rails (or whatever i could say for it) on top of the roof maybe some metal.

But, Zir, in the TGA of the wall I posted here at the very beginning there were four floors. I already asked you back then but can't it be done that way?
