I need help!

I've got lithunwrap and i'm trying to view a mesh of one of my models. Oh and it's in .x format.

when i try to load the model i get a message box saying:

THE MODEL HAS NO UV COORDINATES.

now i know what that means. But why doesn't it have any? is it coz its a .x file

also i tryed an old model. got the same error. but when i went upto tool...UV mapping. i could select one item from the list. yet the new ones got em greyed out.

and one last thing. Is there a DECENT tutorial on texturing out there either for 3dmax5 or lith?

both would be great

chear guys

i just found out why it didn't work.

heres why.

.x files do not have any uv coordinates in their files. i used a 3ds version on the same model and it worked fine.

well i've solved the problem. i just hope it works

That shouldnt be...
I had the exact same problem, but then saving the model with animation data (even though it didnt have any) made it work.
