Title: My Tiger Ausf I
Post by: Nefarious on October 02, 2002, 01:54:45 AM
On Blanks Advice this is my Tiger Ausf I, As you can see, It is not completley textured and there are no markings yet, Also still need to figure out the tread's, Blank I tried UVW Unwrap and it makes my treads all funny style on the end...

Maybe I should extrude like you did...

Ok Nefarius been playing and this is what I have come up with:

Your track texture needs four sides as your working in a box section not a plane like I did (and the AH tanks have)

So after you apply the UVW unwrap you need to select a face/poly click edit then planar map and move the vertex's onto the part of the texture you want.

rinse repeat until you are very bored.

I have done an example and I also forced 2 sided on the texture.
My Image is a TIFF with an alpha channel (cut out the bits you dont want) this is so you can just put the same image into the opacity channel and diffuse channel.

Also will someone please tell me how to post more than 1 image :)

And this is the render with 2 sided forced on the texture. (it still looks ok without 2 sided forced)

Hope this helps a bit, I might of been a bit vague but I'm sure at least you know what i'm talking about :)
