Help, With Exporting Ns_nothing

in NS Customization
Im using 3Ds Max 5 and I want to export the map or rather a small segment (a corridor) of nothing for some tweaking and filming...

but when i try to export it and import it into a scene with characters (Some marines and a Skulk) The textures on the map get all messed up...

I'll post a render of this mess a bit later if you dont understand what im saying...

Thanks for your help in advance...

    you have a segment in max, and want to take it to hammer?

    or you have ns_nothing in hammer and you want to put it in max?

    Are you decompiling or do you somehow have the .rmf?
    Cause if you have the .rmf Hammer can export to a .dfx file which can be opened by Max.

    dxf works in 3ds, obj works, and so does almost anything else if you've got the right tools.

    Milkshape can export to a .map which ou can open in VHE/Quark... so that shouldn't be a problem for going to model to map... but not so easy without the right plugins going from map to model.

    Sorry for the bumping, but it's neccessary, as without being about to import the character models to the scene, or the scene to the models, there's very little the movie can actually do.

    hmm, dont know a whole lot about max rendering, maybe try brazil?
    ive had a similar problem in other renderers like bryce and poser. it doesnt exactly have a uv map (i dont thin:o ) so the texture gets moved? hmm, maybe try putting the rines into the corridor instead of vice versa. just to see what happens.

    max textures dont work the same way as hammer textures i believe your going to have to UV map the entire thing and retexture it

    I have a feeling it might have to do with material ID's. Maybe when you import the marine models, their mat ID's collide with the matID's from the section of the map, therefore the textures get fubar'd.
