Would anyone know how I could get multiple textures on an object? I downloaded this awesome looking BSG Viper but I cannot figure out how to texture the dang thing. All the textures came with it. I've included a copy of the model if anyone wants it.

Well since its lightwave I am not really sure. I imagine that you would have to UV Map it.

Explain to me why some people pay money for 3d software? Its not 3d till its been blended. wwww.blender3d.org

Well I can convert it to mostly any 3d format I want so it being lightwave isn't a problem. I just want to know how I could texture with multiple images. Would changing the format be of any help?
<edit>Oh by the way I'm using DB Pro.

Erm... I've got another question JimB. When I texture my model with it nothing happens. Did I miss something?

I'm sorry Deep Thought 42 I must admit I did see your question and meant to come back to it but I forgot.

Anyway what I did was to simply unwrap your model using UUwrap3D to give the Top,Bottom,Front and Back UV's,the idea behind this was that you could use the box UV map in your paint program Photoshop or something similar to colour or texture it.

Then save the painted or textured map to the same directory as your model so when your model is loaded it should be textured,of course the inside will not be textured using the box map method.

I have to say its not a good idea to use such highpoly models,personally I would'nt want to go much above 4 or 5k polys.

Your model is way to much for my comp to handle,if I were you I'd put it through a poly reduction program and reduce it to 5k-8k max.

I'll go and find a smaller poly model. There were several on the site I got it from. I just chose the nicest looking one. A mistake I guess .
