[mikeandike22]

does ne1 have ne good programs/plugins that they use for unwrapping, or have ne recommendations, it would be good if free as well but it isnt necessary.

[mikeandike22]

thanks, wat about something to export as obj.

 

[mikeandike22]

umm textporter crashes my max.

 

[mindless_moder]

did u download the right version for ur max? where did u install it ? ...
and why do u want to export to obj ? max comes with its own obj exporter.

 

[mikeandike22]

yeah i dled the one for max 6.

 

[WaterMelon34]

yes, is it a LEGAL copy of max 6? =\

EDIT: How the hell do I use it? I can't find it in my plug-ins manager!!!

 

[mindless_moder]

i cant find the export to .obj in 3ds max 6 r u sure it is there.

 

[StardogChampion]

I don't think it imports or exports to .OBJ. You can get a plugin though.

[mindless_moder]

thanks ...wing3d is the first modeling program i started out with. how good is the uv mapping and texturing support ? the last time i used it , it didnt even have the mirroring interface.

 

[entity]

pretty decent, but I wouldn't use it for modeling..but for uvs, definately
