Re: Okay , I officaly Hate The Material Thingy

I still dont see (bold or not) how this relates to a BF2 editing problem?

It seems to me you're trying to create your own materials - which is pointless as they wont translate into the editor....

Re: Okay , I officaly Hate The Material Thingy

Im talking about 3dsmax (NOT about the BF2 editor , never said anything about the bf2edit)

IN 3dsmax When you hit the M key for Materials that is what im posting about that when ever I DO A TUTORIAL that it Srews up when I GOTO RENDER THE OBJECT AND DOESNT LOOK RIGHT so i was wondering someone could help me with that part of 3dsmax

Re: Okay , I officaly Hate The Material Thingy

hahahahahahahahahahahhaha are you laughing yet cdr?

look, drX, cdr hit the nail on the head - if your question in no way relates to bf2 editing (which if you are not using static or bundlemeshes then it doesnt) then i suggest another forum... besides without screenshots and a better description of the issue (could be a renderer prob for all we know) then NO ONE is going to take the time to decipher what you have said - especially with tht attitude

good bye

Re: Okay , I officaly Hate The Material Thingy

your problem isn't "materials" since all objects on max have a material by default, wether you edit them or not.

If the problem is trying to create a glass material and its not rendering...maybe you just made the glass totally transparent...

to create a glass material you just change the material from "standard" to "raytrace" and make it 100% transparent. Think itll do all the refraction automatically.

ofcourse this has nothing to do with bf2 directly since the materials cant be ported...but materials can be used cleverly to make so good texture skins for bf2, so it could be relevant.

[edit] though theres no way youre gonna get a galss material into bf2

??? only materials that can be used are bundle and static mesh... nothing clever about tht...
