Slasher I used 3ds max.

Random I just read your last post on the black skins, sorry you had a meltdown.

Well I also need some help getting models into 3ds, I got lightray which will open .skd's, so I checkout the springfield from the game, looks all pretty straightforward. Now heres the problem, unregistered lightray wont export and skd to 3ds :( so if anyone knows another way please let me know and dont tell me milkshape cos I got that and thats not registered either so wont let me save, however I really shouldnt need them as I have access to 3ds.

I saved the above rifle as an skd from 3ds and the result looked something like a brick, but after looking at the orginal springfield I can see my rifle meshes were way too complex. I have been hunting for a tute, I can get to grips with the modelling, I would like to know how complex to make them, how to carry the skins over to mohaa, UVW Map ? and also which files I need exactly, tiki's, shaders, file structure and such.

Anyone know where to find this info then let me know please.
