UV Map

[metalshredder7]

Hey, I was just wondering, how on earth can anyoneUV Map in zmodeler and it NOT crash in tdu? I have quite a few car models I want to texture, and it just doesn't work.

Would be awesome if someone could help me out

also, I already have tried reading the zmod tuts on it.

Dunno how well I can explain it but here goes.

If your model already has texture maps then when you click the Surface>Mapping>Edit UV then on the options have the Keep Current Mapping ticked, but make sure Disable Current Map is not enabled, otherwise you wont be able to move anything. If it doesnt have a map already, then have the Generate New box ticked. It will then come up with a map from the viewport you choose (in the options further up).

To edit the mapping, on one of the viewports change it from whatever it is (Top, Left, etc) to UV Mapper, and then edit the map as though it were a model.

Hope that helps:thumbsup:

Thanks for that, I will try it tonight. what if It used a custom texture (shelby off Shift)? It has a unique vinyl and im not too sure if it would work

But thanks so much for that!

To use a custom texture, add it to a material (if you dont know about that I can explain), you can create a whole new one, but if you are new to all this, might be easier to modify one of the ones that is already on the car. Just make sure the texture has the same name as the one you will be replacing with it in the bnk.;)

I'm not too sure about doing that, its just that zmodeler tuts are not that great at explaining it and yeah, I'm new to UV mapping so I don't really have any idea about it :) . If you aren't busy with one of your awesome projects, do you think maybe you could help? I have MSN if that would be any easier.

Cheers

I think I might start doing the other model first, give that a try. Thats if I can find an unpainted version on my system :)
