Thank you for the link... Mainly as a hobby, I make 3D models, make textures and sometimes create single render images with multiple models... My home page.. free models.. 3Ds/ Obj... Mi Casa.. <http://www.newhawksfull-moon.com/> It is a humble small site.. <http://www.newhawksfull-moon.com/> My models are high polys so they were not made for game uses as they are.. __ <http://www.newhawksfull-moon.com/>/ You said: "The only thing that tripped me up was that when you apply the material you won't see it on the model because the default view is not textured. I thought it wasn't working because of that" . / How then can anyone see how the textures are working... In my 3D world, you make model, you uvmap it, paint the textures on map(s) and apply map(s) to the model... render, view and correct as needed... later apply bones if you are posing it.
BTW.. I never considered Hammer as a true modeling app.. but then I have not used the newer versions... I'm sure the ventilations ducts, cars and furnitures were made on another App... _ This is not the right forum for this... sorry... again... _ Tom Ook wrote: > It's a very basic tutorial, but it works.
