How can I make a model have the color I added in Doga when I load it into DB Pro? I tried to simply color it with a color object command, but that erased all the fine detail, and it still had no color.

help?

Are you taking notes? There's going to be a test later...

DoGA will blend color and image textures since it renders a scene. DB/DirectX is not always as clever, I usually take one of two approaches. Either I don't use textures at all and I use color only for each of the parts. Or, I leave the color set to white and use custom textures as the only source of color data. Both extremes appear to work fine.

Often, I'll make a complex texture in DoGA and render it to a white panel. I'll then use that image as a custom texture for the parts with all the colors, images, bitmaps, etc. 'cooked' in.

You can also use another program, like milkshape or lithunwrap to set textures that way (it might be a good idea to use milkshape anyway, to tweak and reduce polygons, setup animation, etc.).
