hey all
I made animations in a UFO i made, they dont move when i put them in the game.
How do i make them move all the time???
Also, some of the colours and reflections I made in the Material editor(no textures) dont show up properly :(
Does anyone know how to fix this???

Try the keyframe timed animations. They don't even stop when you pause the sim. You have to set the motion thru the 100 or 200 frame loop. But you can achieve some very nice all the time effects with them. Can' t help with the texture prob never work with reflective models.

:)i have heard you can use alpha channel i would suggest looking them up. This is what i do know. Alpha channal are a sepurut bitmap that is black and white. I think black in shiny. You may also be able to turn up the glosyness of your texture in gmax/3dsmax in the matirial editor(dont quote me on that)
