First Hlaalu Building model completed

The size doesn't really matter though, as you say it can very easily be fixed, either in Rhino or in 3DS.

I can't say I have experience with slicing, but I imagine it's quite easy for me to learn. In a worst-case scenario I'll just make sufficient copies of one level of the building and delete polys accordingly on each copy, then realign the vertices so they conform to a size grid of 256x256. I've done those steps numerous times so if you can hook me up with three .3ds models of one floor each, I can get started in a day or so.

Mapping is easy, getting it to show up in Morrowind is a different matter, but I'll do what I can. Planar mapping is definetely the easiest, I think. Morrowind can't handle Multi-Sub objects and probably Oblivion can't either. Multi-Sub objects is what Max calls several textures on the same mesh, and it makes it easy to make textures look good on all sides of an object, at least inside Max. If you've checked out Bethesda models I'm sure you've seen how they use planes all over the place to build many of their meshes.

For a house, I think using planar would work the easiest if the floor and ceiling are deleted; with the floor being stuck in the ground, and the ceiling covered by the bottom of the second level. Bannisters could perhaps be used to cover up any glitches. Those are just some ideas though. Smile
