Hi there again, just two quick points. First, I can't find Tweak3DFX anywhere 
on the internet, was is supplied with the first 3DFX card? I do have DXTool 
which I got with my Voodoo2, are they the same thing?
Secondly, I'm using 3D Studio Max 1.2 and I downloaded 3ds2rsd which works OK 
for none textured models but I can't get the textured ones to convert 
properly as 3DS Max doen't have a 3ds.set file. I took my best guess as to 
what to put in the 3ds.set file but I've so far had no luck. Is there 
anything I can do?


OK, make that three quick points. I've just created an untextured ball and 
textured half of it with RSDTool (it worked OK for once). The viewport in 
RSDTool showed both the textured and untextured halves as being smooth-shaded 
but when I converted the model with RSDLink, the textured polygons are 
rendered as flat shaded while the un-textured ones are smooth shaded. Is this 
a problem with my code (it's my first attempt at a 3D program) or something 
else?

Thanks once again,

Tom
