Need help texturing/unwraping

vicban3d · 06-08-2008, 12:11 PM

Hello, I modelled this helmet and tried to texture it. Its the first time I'm unwraping something and maybe I did something wrong but when I apply the texture material to the helmet its all messed up. If anyone could point me to my mistake I would be very gratefull!

I tried to add some simple symbols to the areas noted by text but they didnt show.

Thanks.

-EDIT: I'm using 3ds max 7

it looks to me like you're using the wrong mapping channel

make sure you have unwrapped channel1 and make sure that the bitmap is set to use channel 1 in the material editor
