Hi
I´ve made a model in MED, exported it to 3ds , opened it up in 3d studio max, applyied some basic material in its faces, exported to 3ds again, imported it to MED and it looks fine until here,
BUT
after saving it to the normal .mdl and started the game my model is TRANSPARENT!

whats wrong? any ideas?

thanks in advance

Use bmp file as a texture if you have use tga.

Go to the skins menu and edit material or something like it and set opacity or alpha to 100 percent ( don't know the exact names right now as I don't have MED at my disposition at school )

Hope you manage to find it.

med doesnt support max materials, dont use them.

go to sskins andd remove their material setup and use textures.

@harry3174
I have not use any image at all, just materials from max

@Cartoon_baboon
I havent tried it yet, but i THINK that the alpha is already at 100%
=/

@quadraxas
crap
the whole point is to skinmap them in Max, which is easier than MED.
Will work if i use textures in max then export to med? instead of materials?

this is why i use max texturing in max is easier

ok, ill try to learn how to apply texutres in max, I only learned how to put materials and stuff.

thanks quad!

How many skins does the model have in MED?
You could export the skins in MED and re-import in MED, to get rid of a hidden alpha channel.

The model has not any skins yet.
I was just doing some tests with exporting the model with materials from max to MED.
the whole point is to make texturing/skinmapping easier, which Im finding out that max is easier than MED, although i cant use max´s materials.

please dont use default materials of max.
Which matrials you want to give,
frist make that type of bmp and take this bmp in
diffuce as map.
Then put uvw map on object from modifires and then
turn in colleps all and then export.
