New technique

OMG! Can't wait to try this new method, i have so many objects to convert to wad. But i never used blender before, hope it's not too hard to understand

There is indeed a lot things that is possible with baking but I wouldn't recommend using it too much - too many textureinfos

Believe me, I have no plans on attempting anything like that. I'm just thinking of all the possibilities.

Sorry, but it's possible to use 3DS Max instead of Blender in this new technique?

It's not that hard. The tutorials will have most of the things needed covered. Only importing stuff might have some differences depending object and format etc.

Technically yes, but the scripts that make it work are tied into Blender. The texture converting (baking) part should be possible in 3ds Max but I have no earlier experience on baking textures in 3ds max so I can't shed light on that part much. The part that needs to be done in Blender isn't that long or too complicated for this method!

Well, the learning curve is a bit different than with other 3d programs like 3ds Max, but it's not really hard. Once you get used to the interface, it gets really simple.

Blender is free, so all it will take is learning how to use the program (which, as i've said above, isn't hard ).

OH-MY-GOD

This made my day!

I hope as well that sapper can make it work on 3ds max. o:

Christmas before time, well done both of you.

[Raider99]

This sounds amazing!
Great job, both of you! Just imagine what you can do with this, it would be MUCH MUCH easier to make objects.

I'm glad that people are so happy

And really most of the credits goes for Sapper - he made it possible

im betting much easier to texture outfits as well

too bad theres no way to drastically increase the text info limit
