Howdy If someone could find the time

The wall pieces are a reference

Thanks

I got lazy on this one. It is not an OM (Original Mesh), so it can only be used on TES3. I simply imported the piece into 3DS Max and then stretched, subdivided, and bent it. I tried to avoid end distortion, but please tell me how it looks in-game and I'll work with that.

It looks good, but it doesnt take the textures, none of them

NiTriStrips 3 has no texturing properties all the "strips" default to that Node

See pic Smile

This time, done with more attention to the textures. Not optimized, 'cause that just killed the texture mappings.

Thanks Steve

This one looked even better and it took the texturing perfectly

However

When I tryed to add the new piece to the Render, I had a CTD Sad

X( I'll play with that. Maybe the export is not as pure a format as we'd like...

Valuable life lessons learned:

NOT "Try things before you upload them"; I knew that one, but I was hoping I could get away with it... Smile

ALSO NOT "Never get involved in a land war in Asia"; also good (if currently untaken) advice,

BUT "Never export TES3 from Max with strips"; make sure that box is not checked. Also as of 8/31, at least, you need to manually remove the BSXFlags and NiStringExtraData top-level blocks. With that, the CS will accept it.

As Bullwinkle would say, "This one for sure! Presto!"

Let me know,
Steve

Thank you mucho

Bullwinkle was close to correct

your new piece in place

**** something about the grid snap....??? I have my set at 32 and it didn't snap I changed it to 64 and to 16 and to 8 but it was always off by 6 ?? don't know what that all means, something to look at but otherwise its great

Tilesets form a whole new realm of pain for me. I'll check that out later.

Yes they are, at least thats what I hear

As far as usage, Im fine with it the way it is, if I have to manually adjust I don't mind I usually do that anyway's

It works and it looks good too :banana:
