Can someone please explain to me how this works?
I looked it up in the manual;

Quote:


2. Painting the Skin

Time to put some cloth on Willie! For this you have to create a Skin Mapping - a projection of Willie's wire mesh onto a two dimensional bitmap. The simplest method is splitting the skin into a front and back part. Of course you can select different splittings if you want.

First, create a skin for Willie: Edit / Manage Skins / New Skin. We want a textured skin, so check Texture in the Skin Settings, and under Texture Format select 256x256, 24 bit, with mipmaps. You'll now see a black skin named "Skin0" created in the Skin Manager.

To create the skin mapping, produce the back and front projection of Willies mesh: Edit / Create MDL Mapping, Front, OK. If done, you'll now see a projection of Willie's front and back side in the Skin Editor. Note that this skin mesh is not the best. It lacks Willie's sides, with the effect that the skin will be infinitely stretched on the side parts. We could correct this by editing the skin mesh and inflating the side triangles; however this should not bother us now.





Edit / Manage Skins / New Skin. That I can follow.

check Texture in the Skin Settings, and under Texture Format select 256x256, 24 bit, with mipmaps. I can check the texture, I can't select 256x256, nore 24 bits and with mipmaps.

Edit / Create MDL Mapping, Front, OK. Where is Create MDL Mapping?

Why is the manual not addapted to the new MED, so I can understand how this is done. I am veeeeerry

Please help.

I like to keep scripting simple, life is hard enough as it is.

I think its Edit > Create 2-sided Mapping > Front, Right or Top.

Well, first you need a skin so you go to ëdit ->manage skins tick the texture box and load a texture. Then with the model selected klick set texture. Now klick on edit->create 2 sided or6 sided mapping and open the skin editor to adjust it.

I think you also need to have the faces you want to texture selected before using the "create x-sided mapping" things from the edit menu.

Oh yeah...when I went through the steps I still ahhad the cube selected from when I set the skin, and I did 2 sided mapping so I didn't need to select one of the sides...

I don't think that you use the latest version (6.814) of MED.
I still don't get it how to unwrap my model;

I don't see the back and front separately in the skin editor like in the example in the manual.
How do I unwrap my model so I can make a fitting skin for it?
Strange thing is that I have to choose first a skin before I can load the skin manager.

Please help

When you call up the skin edittor, do you see any white lines and small yellow dots? If so, the UV map is created. If not, try selecting a few faces in face mode and use the create 6-sided mapping to see if anything appears. Either that, or go into the menus of the skin edittor and look for a way to make the lines and vertices visible. If the UV map was there, try texturing it.

Yes, I see the white lines and the yellow dots, but when I choose;
Edit --> Create 2 sided mapping
I see only one side of my cube and not two sides like in the example in the manual.
