does A6 support models with 2 textures ? i have a model that has 2 and 1 shows up fine but the 2nd one is black. i am using standard edition.


thanks Jeff

all the skin do you want to use have to be in ONE file. in MED you can add faces of the model and lay them over the skin.

if you need, copy both textures in one file and use it

if you are using 6.4 then yes it will. you have to UV map the particular polygons to the particular skin

prior to 6.4 then no, you have to map it all to one skin image as Tempelbauer states

interesting...
i should inform myself about the 6.4

The 6.4 update allows for using multiple textures (tilable even), but does cost some considerable performance. An entity with 16 skins renders as fast as ten separate (duplicated) entities with one single skin. It is still possible with the older versions, but requires laying out the textures all on a single image which doesn't permit tiling. You can do this with 6.4. Use as few textures as possible for this (especially when using small decals like numbers on a ruler or street addresses where it's much better to lay out each texture on a single skin image (to up to 1024x1024 for best results). Be sure to allow for a 4-pixel padding on all sides of the textures to prevent odd artifacts caused from mipmaps.

thanks guys I'll play with it and see what i can do.....thanks for the help..
