Look at the tutorials, they kind of help!   

Do you know how to make materials in GMAX?

Use the "UVW map" for basic texturing and "Unwrap UVW" for advanced texturing.

It's kind of a lengthy process.  Simple, but lengthy.  Just so you know, Gmax doesn't include any Help tutorials.  They are supposedly downloadable, but I can't remember from where (Turbosquid?).

For really learning how to do all of the neat Gmax stuff, go check out the FFDS Tutorials Forum.  It's where I learned most of what I know about the nit-picky parts of Gmax.

Mapping for textures can be simple and fun but not without some planning and organization.

I have a series of tutorials (exercises) here that includes texture mapping.  There are also several video tutorials that cover the graphically explained steps.  See Step 22.

I've got them all stored, which one's do you need, and how do you prefer to obtain them?







I've got the FSX ones as well.

I'm sending it now. It's 15mb so it may not attach or be allowed.

I've also got the Gmax tutorial files that Travis mentioned. If the email thing doesn't work, I'll do an upload and send you the link.


PS: Your link above goes right to download for me.

My email wouldn't let me attach it, so here's the link to the upload:

This contains everything you see in the pic above, plus the Tutorials & help files that you install into Gmax, plus a few other very handy Gmax items.

No problem, I've been working on the C162 tutorial.

For Gmax, the Help and the Tutorials are 2 separately downloaded and installed files.  You should be able to download them from the same place you got gmax.

If Gmax came with your FS9/8, then you have those two Help and Tutorial files on your computer already.  They need to be installed after gmax is installed.

LOL Thanks Bill
