sorry pls send again

thx i will be looking for the e-mail

glad to here you got the file ok. and again thx for looking at it. the object wasn't boolean out it was made from a clyinder. much of what you see is for my owne use i picked the hardest thing i could think of to do so i could learn as much as posable on one project. thx jeff

ok file has been sent. let me know if you get it alright. thx

Sure is wonderful to see so much help. I would love to post some pics here, but I don't know how. It would be nice to have someone look at my whole file. I am very new at this. I have check to make sure nothing is set for no rendering. Now the grouping may be another story. The ploy's that are missing are transparent. Not white. I have removed all texture from the scene to make sure I don't have any mixed up files.

Checked and made all 2-sided face was off. I tried and changed the wield distance. Still have the texture loss

Thx for your response. The steps I take when applying my textures is. First I create the textures in adobe photo shop, and then I save the file in (rsb) format. I am not sure what setting to use so I leave it on the default setting for 16 bit. I save the file in the mod folder I created with IGOR. After that I go back 3dmax and open the marital editor. Once I get my texture placed into the slot I want I pick the object and apply the texture. Once applied I pick the unwrap UVW modifier and adjust the location of my texture. Then export it and check it in IGOR and the game: NOTE, all settings

yep all faceing out.

Hi zeko All pics are rsb format and they are in the map file. What I see is a squire ploy that that is part of a round surface the face is really two-ploy triangle combined in to the squire and what is happing is that half is missing when rendered in IGOR and shows up in the game.

Hi all I have been working a lot on this problem, but I can't seem to get it right. I am doing a mop that has a house with some very detailed objects in it. The main trouble I am having is after loading things in IGOR some of the ploys are missing. I am a real newbie when it comes to texturing . Most of what I know is self-thought. I don't like to bother you guys with petty things. I love this 3D stuff. I spend about 10 to 12 hours a day with it but I am baffled with this. Thx Jeff

Hay thank you EL_OSO. I have restarted making the door I have got the helper points set on each one and grouped. I started to do the animation. Once I finish that how should I name the panel groups and do I need to group them all as one object ?

thx for the info. i know how to creat a door. this is a special door .it needs more then a helper point to rotate.it moves up and back along a track. i have the pdf from the disk. what i need is real help understanding and setting up of dynamic objects. thx for the quote

Hi all. I am working on a door for a garage that has 4 sections to it. I have animated it and now I need help getting it to work. I want to use it like a single door. (Walk up to it and open it or close it). Have tried to do it as a dyn groped with a door tag. When I export it I get a message that there is no origin helper point. I used a grid helper for each section. The whole thing should move up and back like a real garage door. I really need help with one. Thx Jeff

hi all well i have another good one for someone. i am doing a molde of my home that is kinda of differant. iam making bifold doors and a grage door that works. sofar i have been able to get the bifold doors to work ok by grouping and sub grouping the doors and pivot points. the grage door is another mater. need to use more then 20 frames to get the doors to travel right. it is made up in four parts and must travel around 16 to 20 ft. thx jeff

can you tell me how to post my max file. i think that would be the easiest way to get feed back.

hi all well i think i am on my way now. my last problem was solved now. forgot to use the ctrl key.
