I want to try skinning a U-boat and I want to view the skin on the model without loading SHIII. I figured out how to unpack .dat files and I can import and view the wireframe models in 3dMax and Wings3d. However, I am a complete newbee to 3d graphics programs (and this forum). I want to see the skins on the model, but I cannot figure our how to do it.

I searched the forum and found some treads requesting a simple viewer for displaying a model with a skin, but there does not seem to be one available.

Could someone walk me through how display a skinned model on 3dMax and Wings3d? Please remember that I am roadkill on the information superhighway.

Thanks. By the way, this is a great forum.
