stonedmonster

textures when you are doing the texture select in the texture area 2 sided if your using 3ds max

just click on your material and tick the "2 sided" box in the first drop down, where diffuse colour, specular etc is.

remember that 2 sided materials double the amount of polygons, so i suggest to unly use 2sided where it's really needed... otherwhise you'll end up with twice the amount of poligons than the model really has....

k, can't open it in max 5 or 2010.

but if you download my paintable material and use that it will work, unless it's a problem with the mesh.

I think the problem is mesh, because I already use your paintable material

can you export it as 3ds

ok, just detatch your paintable part again, load up my material and apply it without changing anything, no general.dds files etc.. just my material + make sure it's set to be 2 sided.

if it looks ok in max it should look ok in game, your current paintable setup is a bit odd and not what I have submitted to downloads.. :o

the plugin for the 3ds max 9/10 or higher have that problem, use 3ds max 5

My advice: Especially for things other than windows, don't bother using 2 sided. Use a 1-sided material, copy the part & reverse the normals. That will probably give you a bigger file size, but it also has the added bonus of making sure the faces are all valid if you ever have to re-import the SCX.

I suppose this is what you need to do with 3dmax 2010 etc exporter for SLR Then.. if it doesn't support 2-sided, you'll need to copy your mesh, flip the normals(in the modifiers) and that should be it.. ish
