Arrgh, okay here is a new image detailing the problem I'm having with the method you outlined, Manslayer...

SJ vs EDM.. San Jose Sharks vs Edmonton Oilers. Since my Canadiens got busted out of the playoffs I've been rooting for Edmonton, heh.

EDIT: I should probably mention, that YES I am aware I can just take a screenshot of it and load it in photoshop which should work just as well, but it's unwieldy and I'd rather get it straight from MED. If one day I'd want to create a skin that's 2048x2048 for instance, it would be very difficult to use the screenshot method, which would require pasting together several screenshots and might still be inaccurate. So I might as well do it the right way right off the bat.

Well, I just received a PM from Ulillillia saying that it's a bug and there's nothing I can do about it- so apparently I *have* to go with the screenshot method.

My question is, if this was working perfectly in the old MED, why did it break in the 'new and improved' MED? Doesn't make any sense...

Well if anyone else has an insight into this feel free to share, I'm hoping Uli....lia is wrong on this!

Any further help appreciated....

just use the old version, the new one is crawling with bugs, stay away

Mm yeah I was thinking that myself...

Is there a newer version of MED than 6.814? Have the bugs been fixed?

I can't map skins in this version. There doesn't seem to be any way to select specific faces and use them in the skin editor.

Are we expected to use other software for mapping?

once you have all your UV mapping done, select all the polys in the skin editor, then press the fill selected button ( along the bottem)

that will give you a filled image with the polygon lines.
then export the image.

Thanks, Grimber.

I tried it, but I find the old system faster and better for my way of skinning.

I'll give it another try when my initial frustration subsides.
