Hey Guys and Girls
I have finally worked out how to get my 3DS models into DBPro but I am having problems texturing them so just some quick questions about it.

1. What length the the texture names have to be?

2. Where do I need to store the texture in relation to the 3D file when importing?

3. Do I have to load the images into the editor as well?

If so what syntax shall I use and do I load before or after the load object "yeah.3ds",2

Thanks
Steve

1. length, I don't know, but it can't be too long.
2. in the same folder that your exe is.
3. no, sure load with the model.

Yes I think they work like that too.

If it hasn't exploded yet, I haven't touched it.

I think it's 8 characters max
