Ok so I'm quite the noob here but please help me out.
So im trying to export a simple shape like a box or something and I'm trying to figure out how to make my own material to apply to the shape and export. could someone just give me like a short tutorial on how to make materials for your exporting?
Thanks :)

- in max create a new material and load the texture into the diffuse material slot
- apply the texture to your object (make sure the little checkered cube is on in the materials editor so you can see your results)
- with your object selected go to the modifier stack and select unwrap uvw - (just press 'u')
- click edit button on the unwrap uvw rollout to edit the uvmap
Here's some links with more info

There's plenty of tutorials on the web just google "3ds uv unwrap tutorial"
