EDIT:Sorry, I realize I made no sense. Let me try again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I have created a wall and floor texture. I want the wall to be 3D. As of right now, it is just a flat wall and floor.

I have both milkshape and sketch up to work with. I have imported the flat wall into Milkshape.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

I want to apply my texture to the mesh in Milkshape. Then, I want to mold the mesh with the texture still applied to align with the texture. Hope this makes sense.

At the top of this part of the forum is a thread for tutorials that I think will point you in the right direction.

Here's a link to one of them that will get you started.

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=92448&b=24

It was a huge help to me(not having any previous experience in modeling and just having 2D skills.).

Hope this helps.

You should just use a segment editor if it's not a custom mesh.

This one is free and easy: Firma V2

I kinda figured my question wouldn't make sense. Thanks guys, but let me try again.

I have created a wall texture. I have signs, and made a simple, flat segment to it. It works. However, I dont like how the wall is flat and boring. I want it to be "shaped. Kind of like how the "corridors" are in the stock media.

I own Milkshape. I imported the wall mesh into Milkshape. Now I want to apply the texture to the mesh while in Milkshape. The texture I have created for the wall is already "divided" along the lines I want the polygons to be cut on. I want to pretty much just extrude the mesh with the textures on, so that it looks correct.

So you want to model a wall, are you asking how to import it or model it?

Oh well sorry...nah im kidding just ah, (this may be off because have not used milkshape in a while), click on the materials tab->new->NONE button->pick the texture. select the whole wall and press apply. Then I think click on the materials thing at the top, but what you want to find it texture coordinate editor. Fool around with it and you should figure it out ask if you still need help. (I will not answer for a about 5-7hrs.)

Thanks. I have it texured, but I am rather confused with the way this program models. The model tab has many "buttons", and I know what they mean (I used to use 3ds max), but how do I "slice the polygons so that I can do extrude. All its letting me do is rotate and view the model.

Right click on your model-convert to-editable polygons,select the three dots icon on your right,go down a bit and you will find a cut button,click it then just click anywhere on your model to cut,once you are done,just right click so it stops cutting,then click that square on your right and click the area you cut,it will highlight red then just press delete to remove it.Now select the triangle icon on your right,now select all the edges on your model of the cut,once you highlighted them all,select the 4 arrows button on the toolbar above the views,now simply go to a view you like,press and hold shift and move those selected edges around.You just extruded your model.This is for 3dsmax.

Thanks, but I dont have 3ds max installed anymore. I was just trying to do this in Milkshape. However, if Milkshape is incapable of doing this task, then I will have to go find my 3ds max Disk.

I uninstalled it, as I am running low on space...(hard drive)

Thanks Cosmic Prophet. I didnt know that you had to model\edit through the "left" viewports. I thought you could model through the "3d view" like in 3ds max. Either way, at least its working. Thanks again.

The easiest way to do it is to build the model you want first, and texture later.

1. Create a block as shown.

4. Tweak some verts from the side. Export to .obj file and use UVMapper or other to map your model. use a your art program to do your textures on your new map. then apply the new texure map to your model.

Thats it.

3D View.

When your done you can use FPSC Segment Editor to import your mesh, and apply the texture to your new segment. Remember to add the ( _d2 ) extention on the end of your texture map.

Get it here.

Sorry to bring this thread up again, but I have another question.

I have been learning to work with Milkshape alot more, but I am now at the point that I wanted to try to see if I could get this working ingame.

As you can see by this screenshot, its not the correct size to fit the segment. how do I tweak it to fit?, or do i need to do a trial\error and mold the mesh?
