I have long downloaded models off on wc3.search and successfully put them into my maps; however, i recently downloaded the free version of Gmax and have gotten to the point on my own where i have made a square, exported it, converted it to .mdx, and successfully put it in a map. I am quite happy with the progress, but the square in the world editor only shows as solid team color. I used the "gmax material editor" (3 colored dots icon) to make the square in gmax have a granite texture on it in .tga format with an alpha layer on it. Do I need to do UVW unwrapping? i have read about it but not yet understood it but believe if i just drop the granite texture on the square in gmax, export it, turn it to .mdx etc. and then import the model and the skin into the world editor, it should work- though like i stated it just shows as team color since the skin must not be working. I tried changing the "address" of the texture before i dropped it on the model, and the texture i used in gmax is .tga and the texture i imported is the same but converted into .blp - is this correct? i hope i provided enough imformation - PLEASE HELP :banghead:
