Floating cloak 3Dmax

[satanea juda]

I thought there was something odd, when i looked at the schematic for the druid (cloak source) it wasn't connected to anything, but the problem was after i reshaped it as a poly it wouldn't export, i got the same msg's linked to bone if static, each vertex weighted ect... max is like an old kung fu master, just when you think you got it, you get a slap over the head.

when an object is not connected to a bone it is using the skin modifier. Its nothing odd at all. Read up on the skin modifier tutorinal and you'll understand things alot better.

He's sorted thanks, but now i'm having problems with this guy, when i import him in game his tunic is twisted, so i added a uv map but it dosn't work, is there some way of sorting this, i think it's because i merged new arms and welded them to the body, if that helps. oh and the sections don't overlap in the unwrap uv.



He should look like this.

yeah, it does that when you merge them to the body. each separately applied part of the uvw map needs to be detached as an element. i had to learn that one the hard way!

And now it seems so did i, thanks that worked a treat.
