DOH!

[Risky777]

All the help I've received here so far has yielded the
following original prototype.  (still playing with the design, placement of parts etc.).  I wanted to experiment with some paint possibilities also...even during the design phase, as this can yield new design directions.  

Problem:  How do I paint this bird fresh from GMAX??
I've read a lot of tuts on RE-painting but how do I
start a new paint job????  Is part of the process completed within GMAX??

I have:

1. dtxbmpx
2. Corel Photo Paint (allows layering, alpha's etc.)
3. A major headache
4. Tons of gratitude

Thanks for putting up with me

a good part of the texturing work happens inside gmax.
you should follow the gmax texturing tutorial to get a good feeling of how it's done.

also there are a lot of 3rd party tutorials on texturing too.

go to www.freeflightdesign.com/tutorials.html you'll find a lot of helpful stuff there.

happy texturings
