hi

I use milkshape3d and fragMOTION


can anyone please explain to me why 3d object that are made from premade shapes in a modeler like cubes and spheres are textured without a problem, but when i create a shape manually by placing vertexes and making faces out of them, these models show nothing more than the color of the texture.

this was troubling me for a long time when for some reason i couldnt texture my models. Now i figured out why, is there a way i could texture these kinds of models?

on an occasion, uv mapping works for 1 or 2 polygons, the rest stays the same no matter what i do

Simply put, then you're not UV Mapping. Look up some tutorials on google.

how come the premade shapes, even when i distort the vertecies, dont need uv mapping for the texture to show up normally?

The pre-made models already have a UV Map, they come with the standard one for their shape.
