Some 3d modeling/MAX questions from Cocas

[Wrench 9,663]

Cocas asked these questions over in the Prop-Head Modding Thread, and I wanted to make sure our Experts ™ could see it:

 

ok here gos a buttload of quetions sorry need clear this from my head.

 

How can deattach a already mappe part? say a flap from a wing whitout losing my mapping?

How to put more then one part of the aircraft in the same bitmap say a fuselage and wings?

Do i need make seat on my aircraft?

I think I can answer the seat question...

 

I know some aircraft have the seat 'molded in' to the main lod, but it's even easier to use an existing seat (3w Supplies ™), and just place it via data ini edits. As I've done on a lot of mods, and how the stock plane are done.

How can deattach a already mappe part?

 

Use the Cut, Slice, or Quick Slice to cut the parts, then select the polygons you want cut, then use the Detach command.

 

say a flap from a wing whitout losing my mapping?

 

See above. You shouldn't lose your mapping, but you may have to remap new areas created (ie if you cut a flap from a wing, you will have to map the 'gaps' you fill in.

 

How to put more then one part of the aircraft in the same bitmap say a fuselage and wings?

 

Assign both of them to the same material editor slot.
