Title: Seeing Double (or Half)
Post by: MI6 on December 06, 2011, 06:07:57 PM: I know that these titles are probably getting annoying as well as the large number of questions, but I guess you could say I'm adding a bit more levity to the forums. I have a model that has 2 texture tga files one dorsal, one ventral. The texture only covers half the ship (it is mirrored). Is there any easy way I redo the textures so as to make the port and starbord sides of the ship different, so as to display registry and whatnot?

No.

short answer

long answer:
you would have to remap the model and remake said textures from scratch.

Post by: MI6 on December 06, 2011, 06:34:10 PM: I thought as much. What's The Best way to remap the texture and can I just make mirror images of the existing texture after remapping or do I have to completely start over?

If you can prove to the Autodesk website that you are a student, you can get a legitimate copy of 3D Studio Max for free (for about 3 years).

I love student discounts. :D

He didn't ask how to do it, he asked if there was an easy way. There is isn't for what he wants to do, so that answer was and still is: no.
