Exporting models from Max to MDL, the skin displays fine inside the game, but does not display in MED, i've checked the 3d Settings and everything else.

The skin's bmp file is visible in the Manage Skins panel.

As I said the skin is there and visible in-game but not in MED.

TIA,

Perhaps going to view > textured (or in one of those menus where you see flat shaded) will fix it? Do you have an external texture? If so, textures only display if the texture is in the same folder as the model is.

I have tried that and to boot the skin is internal so there should be no problems. Woe is me.

Hmm after running the mesh tester it says i have open meshes, could that be it?

I almost always use open meshes and I never have problems with textures displaying. I can quite safely rule out an open mesh being the problem with 98% certainty. I have no experience with importing of any kind so I can't help you much with that, but only guess. One such guess is to make sure that, upon importing, make sure that the texture is imported as well. Textures generally need to be a power of 2, but I've read of others not using the power-of-2 rule and still not having problems.

What is your GS version?
Have you check : view->3D view->Texture mapped (V6.40.5) or
Options->3D view->Texture mapped (V6.31.4) and
File->Preferences->Video Out, set them both to
GXL2DX8A.DLL

File->Preferences->Video Out, set them both to
GXL2DX8A.DLL

Worked great for me thanks alot to all who helped.

hello all,

i downloaded the trial of 3dgs a6 on the downloads page. It was great, you can now see the models' shapes with textures in a6 WED not like the ones from a5's WED, which only shows boxes. there where other improvements as well.

So i bought the a6 standard. But when i tried to create a model in WED, it only shows the model in Wireframe! i know it's somewhere on the preferences / options, but i dont know which one. if anybody knows pls let me know. tnx!
