how to apply decals tutorial?

Postby 5thranger » Tue Aug 29, 2006 10:45 am

Hello everyone,

is there a tutotial somewhere on how to apply decals in gMAX?

One of my planes has a lot of little things that can not be done by painting the whole aircraft, so I need to map the individual tags, names, etc.

Anyone that could help in explaining the process from scratch in gMAX?

Thanks a million!

You mean you want to create a patch of the fuselage or wing, or something like that, so you can paint it in fine detail?

If so, just detach the preferred polys and make them a seperate entity, then map them differently.

NOTE:

This is the easy way of doing this.  For a more complicated approach, you'll want to do multiple mapping: that's really hard.
