aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-12-2001 03:08 PM Once you retexture in strpix, it will be in the wad you edited. If you want it in a different wad, use TRWest to move it to the other wad. You would only use 3D canvas to change the mesh. To do that, use strpix to export the mesh to DXF. Export all the meshes for the object you are editing. I don't know about 3D canvas, but most 3D programs let you load more than one mesh and edit them together. After you edit the meshes, import them with strpix, retexture, and save the wad. IP: Logged

aktrekker Member Posts: 454 From:WA, USA Registered: Apr 2001 | posted 09-14-2001 12:46 PM Not trying to make you feel bad or put you off this in any way, but... I strongly suggest you build a simple level before trying this stuff. Once you build and texture a level, you will understand how texture tiles work. Then you will understand textureedit, and combining textures from multiple TGAs. You will also need to understand this for texturing objects in a wad. If you have never done any 3D editing, then you won't have an easy time making your own objects. I suggest just trying to retexture an object first, and get that working in a level. This will get you used to the idea of object meshes, which you will have to understand to make or edit objects. Start small, don't try to do everything at once, or you will overwhelm yourself and give up. These are not skills you pick up in a day or two, it takes time and alot of hard work. IP: Logged
