3DS Not Aligning Surfaces Properly?

by Dave Calabrese · in Artist Corner · 05/22/2004 (9:04 pm) · 2 replies

For some reason, when I make a model in 3D Studio Max, the surfaces don't always align properly. The main problem here is a rectangle with 3 sections. One side has its texture on perfectly, while the other 3 main sides have the texture aligned completly wrong. I've spent about an hour trying to fix this and I cannot seem to find the cause. I placed an example of my problem at

Anyone who can figure out why it is doing this has my complete gratitude!

Thanks in advance,

You have to unwrap the mesh using the unwrap uvw modifier. max has a few tutorials on using it included with it. I went ahead and unwrapped this mesh for ya.
