hi

someone that can help me with a step by step tutorial, about how to render to texture in 3ds max, "maybe some screenshots of the settings"

i had made a box and appleyed the 2 textures "Metal001_d2.tga" and "Wood001_d2.tga"
The metal texture on top and buttom, and the wood on the sides.

so my problem is that, when i export it out as a .x file i got 2 texture files. and thats bad, because i can only specifi one texture when i make an STATIC entity out of the box.

so i need some help to render these 2 textures down to one sigel texture, and get it appley on the box. so when i export it out as a .x file i only have ONE sigel texture file.

hope someone can help me out

like this link here its just only for 3ds max 5.

Download chilliskinner and texporter plugins for your version of max and then take a look at some of the online tutorials for those e.g.

I've also attached a screenshot for you of a room I was making which might help

The object has to be dynamic then though, static entities are more efficient.
