wow! thx aLOT! this way is sooo much easier than lith unwrap IMO. i shall go forth and sttempt a UV map, now i can may be a half **** skinner and mesher!

The meshes you get through using Milkshape will nearly always have stretching in them as you can only look at each group from one direction. It's ok for a quick mesh, but it's nowhere near good enough for a model intended for release imo.

Too bad it wont work with halo PC model rips <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Yeah, you have to stretch the vertices by hand... and i REALLY hate how you cant do something like hold shift and you'll only pull straight. :/

Just get LITHUNwrap 1.3, and you're set for such stuff....

I hate the program. I skinmesh in Max.

i only have hate for lithunwrap for 2 reasons
<ul><li>Doesnt prompt to save when you click exit</li><li>messes up smoothing groups</li></ul>

Mintman

My way of getting round the smoothing groups problem is to not bother until I've meshed my model!

Model - Mesh - Smooth - Skin - Animate - Release

Most smoothing problems in MS3D can be corrected by rewelding vertices.
