Hey guys I was wondering how would you go about taking a chair or a desk out of an area model without destorying the area or it's lighting? I have tried to do it in gmax with no success so if you guys help me I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks guys.
I'm not sure about the area lighting issue however you should be able to export the model to ascii with mdlops import it with nwmax into gmax/3dsmax. delete the objects then export from gmax/3dsmax and use mdlops read/write function to recompile the model. I wouldn't think this should effect the lighting.
I did that and the area looked really dark plus when I left the area it would dissappear. So I just though maybe it was a lighting issue.
The darkness is caused by issues with the textures not applying right has been my experience. All the lights seem to still be the same however the textures don't seem to work right anymore.
How can something like that be fixed?
