exporting uv maps to max

#1

i make the models, create the uv map and texture it ok, but how do i export the uvmap to max in order to make the others maps? like bump, opacity and so on?

i can export the model with the texture on it, but i cannot edit it or put another map. it does not appear in the modifier list. can anyone help me?

Haven’t played with this yet, but I did see this in the DEV Fourms:

Might be of some interest.

thanks negative. i will try it.but i was wanting to use the maps in 3dmax. for if i could use the uv maps there i could have much more options than in wings. besides i thing the wings uv unwrap is much better than the max one

Im not sure about the 3ds format, but i prefer using the obj format which carry the uvdata with it on import to any app, ie. max as in your case.

i did not find any way to import this format in 3ds

Mattregnier explains how to use it here.

If this works with your current version of max I have no idea, you might want to do a search in 3dmax part of cgtalk since this have already been brought up numerous times.
