Hi all.
For starters, a little bit about me- i have invested in 3DS max 9 and been using it sporadically for about 3 months now. I have been mainly doing low poly characters, and now i feel I'd like to take it a bit further and texture and animate the characters as well.

So here is character 1 of 2. For those of you who are "retro gamers" and played Soul reaver Legacy of Kain on the PSX, you may recognise him as Kain tongue.gif

I now admit that i need help texturing him =| haven't tried it before. I'm going to try the built in tutorials on mapping tonight to get a general feel of what to do. If someone could offer advice and guidance on this next step, it would be great grin.gif

Cheers all,

Eddie

Oo thanks grin.gif Ill try that tonight.
One other problem i have come across now is that I cant seem to apply a physique modifier to his sword correctly :/
I have set the skeleton so that it has a prop as i presume the idea is to attach the sword to that, using the rigid setting.
Wont let me "Initialise" with the prop for some reason frown.gif
