download a program called uvmapper. its basic, but it works. if you can't figure it out, upload the file in .obj format and I'll do it for you.

Aliens are real! you all laugh at me now and think I'm crazy! but when I post a video of me with an alien, you will all be sorry!!!

That's a pretty simple operation that's covered in your manual, which came with your copy of 3DS Max when you bought it.

I think we all know what's going on here. Here's my suggestion to all the people that think they'll will make outstanding models just by possessing one of the most expensive modelers on the market (which you won't). Download and install Maya P.L.E. and/or XSI Mod Tool; both which are pretty much fully functional (yet limited) programs. Use these tools to discover whether they are right for you, then continue to hone your skills until you can afford to get one. For the people who are craving 3DS Max; get yourself a copy of GMax (they're out there), and do the same thing.

Until you can afford a large and expensive piece of software like Max; I suggest you use something like Milkshape, 3D Canvas Pro, GameSpace, or Anim8or to get down the basicss of the 3D world. Then, when you can afford it (or can charge it to your plastic), you'll not only have a legit copy...but be well-versed in 3D to boot.

i have never gotten a gun into fpsc, so this is all i can help you with.

but you might find some help in this thread...

http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=83743&b=24

and if you need help, you could email someone who knows how, and they might be able to give you more instructions. and just so you know, Higgins will most likely not help you unless you pay him.

I like it, except for the pure black parts. things look funny when you have them pure black. I recomend switching the black for a dark grey, and using the burn tool here and there to make it look more realistic
