What software and export setting do you use to save the texture?

[ToXiC4000 26]

the fact that you are using a very old version is... ye... "why dont you just use a newer" but well ok

 

to apply textures right:

 

use the path D:\ymir work\item\

in that folder your texture should be there, just drop the texture from there onto your texturewrapper into 3dsmax and export the granny file, test it ingame not on the gr2viewer cause often windows just dont reloading the caches from the textures. "means your granny viewer will show you for example its white or its black but if you look under textures you see that your texturepath is right" just pack all the stuff into your client with the right paths and it should work

also check that the granny version is the same as your exporter is cause if you have like exporting 2.9 and your client is using in the granny.dll the version 2.4 it might be invisible if you have more questions about it dc: ToXiC4k#9214

First of all thank u for time and your long message

 

I can also use Max 2011 but I started with 2007 that's why !

 

 

I see the texture but do u think that will work in-game ?

 

Thank's for your help bro !

as i said Use the Right path,

 

if you dont have a D Storage drive create one by using an usb stick or something else

 

paste the texture into the right Path for example D : ymir work \ Item \ yourfolder \ yourtexture.dds

 

also just paste the texture From the Right Path into 3dsmax

 

pack those into your client or use it directly while have the path active
