Hi Gary,I was also surprised that they changed the user interface of the Material Editor, I hope they did that to add more options otherwise I was very used to the old one :) Now I will need to read more tutorials to learn things from scratch :)CheersMichel

Does not yet give any directions on texturing.Shez

true but he does go into detail about the functions. So Im happy to see the rest.I wil play some more with it tonight. I just wanna do my night textures lolhttp://www.avsim.com/posky/images/banners/gary_ban.gif

I always prefered the GMAX material editor over 3DMAX, so I was concerned to see GMAX going the 3DMAX way. I've had a wee play though and it seems to be an improvement -- pointing to pick up textures for example.By the way, you normally wouldn't 'apply' night textures in GMAX -- you just need to switch on night textures in the exporter. Of course you need matched and aligned night texture bitmaps with the _lm extension.

Actually, have just been playing around with the new MatEdit and it is pretty good. I did not remember it from the previous but the drag & drop functionality is fantastic!Shez
