I love it when people have "Spent" a few thousand pounds on 3d modelling programs...and then come on this forum to ask how to "put textures on objects" ....

check out picture for materials..... From here you can create different materials for the models, play with the settings....

edit: for making textures that will work in DB/DBP your gonna need to map the model using the UVmapper, then unwrap the model and paint it in another program like gimp...

you should really google these types of question because (especially for Max) there are already thousands of tuts on the web...

if you want some good tutorials , go to [href]www.A-Z-P.co.nr[/href] and click on links and click on off-site 3d modeling tutorials (all related to max...for now). i'll be adding my own tutorials real soon.

That "enoying guy" locked your thread for a reason. Go into the 3ds max help files and all the info is there.

Then bugger off and make some models.

Yes, use the help files. There are tutorials that come with max.

Or just open 3ds max and press M. That should help you out.

@heckno
okey, soz i know that you have to go there but my problem is, accually applying to the object... can you help me there? i can see something that says asign to selection, but it is grey and un-click-able.

btw- to all who told me to check the manuel with 3ds max, my friend just let me borrow the c.d. by itself, he cauldn't find the other stuff. and also, when i installed the thing, for some reason it wouldn't show the help guide when i opened the menu.

@a-z-p
i only just got it and i cauldn't find help.

@megaton cat...
who do you think you are to tell someone you just met, to bugger off?

learn some manners, this has nothing to do with you and i am restraining myself from firering off.

i think everyone is annoyed by your lack of any initiative, finding the materials tab should take even a blind ape less than 1 min to find all it takes is to search through some random menus or buttons untill you find it, i dont see why you would need to make 2 topics about this and its been over 2 days since you first asked the question, and you really expect us to believe that you even tried over those days? this is basically just a stupid question that shouldent need to be asked, wait untill you truely get stuck on something that isnt as trivial as 1 click away.

Hallowed are the ori.

i have nothing more to say to you.

can someone else plz tell me how to put textures on the objects?
it will only let me put on bump map and stuff. what i do is choose a panel then i go to "get material" then i choose bitmap. and then when it comes up i find out i can't put it on my selected object. what have i done wrong and what can i do to make it work.

btw

if anyone else fires off at me or puts me down then i will report.

-EDIT-

don't worry! i found it! and it's all thanks to a-z-p!

when you told me that site i decdided to go have a look, and i found out how to do it now! thanks for you time. and no thanks to people with no respect. please close this thread.

Go to the material editor. Click on the little button next to the color box. Choose bitmap. browse to your texture. Drag the material onto your mesh. Click the little checkerd box so it is orange.

No piss off and MAKE SOME FRACKING MODELS!

Stop getting upset with people. It IS in fact frustrating when you're using an industry standard tool, people go to college just to learn how to use that program efficiently. Don't think that all of the sudden youre going to be the master of this very intricate program. There is a reason why it costs as much as it does, it's not meant for beginners. You really need to start slow, and at least show a bit of initiative.

You could honestly search through the program, or through google for 5 minutes TOPS and find answers to these types of questions. People dont want to answer these kind of questions for this reason, and it makes it quite obvious that you have no initiative to learn how to do anything yourself, and without a great deal of initiative you are NEVER going to learn how to use a professional tool such as 3DS Max on your own.

Check your premises, take a step back, take a deep breath, and try again. You're obviously new to 3D Modelling, and your jumping into a program that you're not ready for without some very basic idea of what your doing, or at the very least, a lot of initiative - show people you have at LEAST that.

Guys, lay off with harsh comments - just leave it to criticism, I know its frustrating when people dont seem to show much initiative, and dark heart, try not to lash back. Any more immature behavior here will result in newbie slaps for any offenders.

chill man, take things slow or else ur gonna get a horrible head ache.
if there's one thing i learned while using max is that u should never try to learn every (excuse my spelling) style there is, becasue u'll just get confused...like i did at first.Try modeling using your own style and watch videos of people modeling to see what they do.


well n e way ....if u want help on max add me to ur msn , aim , or yahoo


good luck and take things slow.



[edit]


you can't master 3ds max in just a few days, months....or years(might b exagerating a lil bit)
