Hi Skwasjer i am please to finally meet you here plus a fast answer i know you must be a busy man with all those crying to get help, i hope i am not causing you more stress.
Ok for the import/export i now completly understand the process except when i am saving my uv layout and used the 3dsmax uvw import option i don't see the others uv channels except the default one in obj. So i used loaded uvw objects instead and it work fine.
I only have 2 majors problem to solve before finally showing my work first i am using 3ds max 2009 so procedures might be different regarding the reset uvw mention on your import/export tutorial, for now i have collapse uvw unwrap after editing both channels and my first problem occur in max 2009 they change the way uv channel work! So i have uv channel 1 showing in my uv channels 2 and i don't know if it is possible to separate them, i try a lot of thing like adding another unwrap on stack changing to channel 2 reset and load back 2 and still see channel one under it so i maybe force to redo my uv layout for the third time since i try many different way.
My second biggest problem is the ambient occlusion map that show in black in sh3 editor and in game it just doesn't show at all i have the conning tower texture ok but without shadow, i have read all your post on submarine sim central regarding this issue and try everything you mention, moving node upper etc. with no success so far. You where mentionning to check if selfOcclEnable was set to true in UnifiedRenderController but maybe i figure it was only regarding Silent hunter 4, i saw that controller for sh3 and try to put it at the end of the tree and on top without sucess.
to conclude that lengthy post when i finish my first mod i will write extensive tutorials regarding your wonderful software and believe me i know the effort behind the code that why i reiterate my offer to do anything graphic for you as a form of deep gratitude since money is not my best friend currently. You want your 3D self at the periscope with a beard as your loading screen just send me right side view, left side view and front view of your face and i'l do it with pleasure
Best regards Hans,
