I still wish it would support .3ds format and save the texture coordinates, I'd love to be wrong about that too. Other than that it's the coelacanth's coeliac. rsdtool is a cool tool for texturing but it can't do cylindrical wraps like TS2 and it changes my "0 G T" to "8 F T" in my .MAT file without asking. btw, I got my ts2 a while ago for $99 at Herb's, http://www.herbs-software.com/ not free, but you get the manuals. --------------------------------------------------------- Kirk Bender kbender@znet.com http://sj.znet.com/~kbender http://www.scea.sony.com/net/yaroze/pages/kbender.html
