***MODELS and SKINS HELP/QUESTION THREAD***

Could you please show us an example of your issue.

by default the UVW editor shows just whats currently selected, so you may just have the brace selected and can't see the body on the uvw...don't see a reason why it would remove the unwrapping from the body

Yeah i'll upload a gyazo when i'm back on my pc stevo. I have both selected though p2sta, that's the part that is confusing me. If I select just the entire rider after I have joined the objects all the shows up in the uv window is a single vertex on the bottom left of the screen. It's weird.

[Ohagan75]

Ok big pictures but whatever. The brace is a separate model and has a working UV, just moved off the space as i thought that may have been an issue with it. The rider body also has a working UV map. However when i try and join them this is what happens And that is the UV for the rider down the very bottom left. It's really confusing

[Ohagan75]

I googled the problem and apparently it is a bug when trying to join two objects with different UVs in 2.69. You have to rename the two Uvs so they aren't the same

[p2sta]

good you figured it out. I'm still running the old Blender and never had this problem

Does anyone have a collision file for a bike stand? I want to put one on my compound.

Anyone know if i can get on a graphic site and make my own graphic design and copy and paste the image to a template? I really want to start skinning.

lol that is NOT how you do it.
There are some really good tutorials HERE about how to 'skin'. Look for the ones by Boblob801, they're the best imo

Hi guys, I have a problem when I'm going to make the .saf file of my team bikes and gear.

I have all the png and jm, named correctly because they work in-game. But when I make the .saf file, they don't work. I've named the normal and specular maps with the "new method" I've seen 2 pag before, for example kxf450-MXTotal_norm (or _spec) and all the png of each bike. They work without saf, so I think it's well done.

Is the problem with the .saf creator????

Thank you guys

[p2sta]

when making the saf make sure the box next to "strip selected folder from path" is checked

Stupid problems, easy solutions... I had never noticed that option...one more thing I've learnt today before sleep

Thank you very much Piista

I am having trouble baking a proper chain for my bike model. Actualy I dont know how to unwrapp it. I made a tileable texture though which is looking ...ok. So my question is: How do you unwrapp the chain so its not taking up half the texture space? Or is there a way to attach the chain as a seperate model with a seperate UV layout?

Here is what I got with the tileable textures.
