I thought we had it done when he told me the texture wasn't there because of multiple id groups (one by part, or 7 total) but the sub lacked pieces in game and the textures weren't applied correctly.
Thanks for helping, k

I'm going to be trapped doing job work at home for a while. You should give Maya a try cause it's much easier to understand and to learn for this particular task. Check out this tutorial. Simple.

I had maya, but then I switched to 3ds thinking it could do a better job...

about the newtek plugin : why isn't there a trial version, I don't have 100 bucks to spend on a maybe useful plugin now.... so it's back to 3ds...

They just finished running a beta test on the plugin but I imagine soon it will be available for trial. Then again, it's a plugin and I'm not sure how they can make that a trial. An advertising company I work with has the plug and I just "borrowed" it.

The unfortunate thing about Maya, then again I can probably say this about all Autodesk programs, is that the documentation is outdated from the version you're using. For instance some of the menu tabs that were in previous versions are gone but in the documentation, they're asking you to look for them when performing steps to doing something in the current release.
