It pretty common to have flipped normals from an .obj in max, just select the inverted normals and hit flip normals under poly sub editing. There's also a button Unify Normals is found on the Surface Properties rollout while in editable mesh. Change...  [Read More]

Use nwmax version 7 for 3ds max 8. Nwmax 8 has extra sanity checks that often cause problems while exporting. Body editing is more involved then weapons, there are specific steps you must fallow. Same with heads if you can find Taina's replacer to co...  [Read More]

Great work oldflash, keep it up man ! I like your revamped R2 skin very nice, might I suggest some carbon scoring and oil dripping on it in a few areas. Just make it on a new layer so you have more flexibility and control over it's blending. sv...  [Read More]

Thats a very nice sword model you made there :) great texture too, highly detailed. Stay away from mdlops 0.5 if it's going in to k1 use 0.6 instead. For TSL 0.5 should be fine, but I learned the hard way just yesterday that 0.5 hates k1 btw what's...  [Read More]

Like old flash said use nwmax v0.7 ;) , nwmax v0.8 causes too many Sanity errors. Also rename the AuroraBase I_Mask_001 to something like ex: I_Mask_029 unless you want to Overwrite I_Mask_001. You would have to update the number on your custom .UTI...  [Read More]
