9.- MOVE THE UV POINTS TO YOUR LIKINGS! you can look at the scene to see how the textures map
extra step.- Remember to save your UV edits  ;)
10.- Right-Click, then rotate
11.- Select all and then rotate them 180°
12.- Look at the number next to the texture map
13.- In brawlbox, open your model, then go to UV Points and then export the one which has the number you found before
14.- On the script, change the export options to Texture Cordinates
15.- Export? select the UV set you extracted before
16.- Select the MDL0 File you extracted before
17.- VOILA! the uv should display correctly on brawlbox, if not, adjust them until they do.

any questions just ask me

I needed this a while ago. I'll try this tutorial next time I need UV editing. You´ll be my hero if it works :happy:

[Dot]

well, it should, if not, feel free to ask ;)

Will this work for max 10 since we can import the daes into that as well?
Not much has changed between 8 and 10 besides interface soo...

I can't import the DAE without it crashing 3DsMax or BrawlBox. And i have the OpenCollada plug in :c what do? When I export SMD into PMD and import it the texture screws up BIG time

which version of 3DS Max are you using? at which moment does it crash?

it should, as long as you can import and fix the model on 3DS Max you´ll be fine

im using Max 2009, OpenCOLLADA 3.0, and it crashes whenever I try to import the DAE into the brres. Im using the 65v of Brawl Box, and it'll import PMDs without crashing, but it screws the texture up royally

oooo
i think i know wats your problem
are you following the tutorial carefully(using the PMD script with 3DS Max and all that stuff)?

[Lecapria]

yes :c but sometimes he'll say "make sure to have suchnsuch unchecked/checked" and i dont have an option for those

EDIT: it also seems to have a problem with exporting a DAE from a PMD and a PMD from a DAE

[Dot]

that suchnsuch may be your problem
what do you mean by not having an option for those?

[Lecapria]

my pop up looks different than his when he exports ; - ;

hey dot, i think i know why my UV edi doesn work, i just read that brawl only reads textures correctly if the size of the bitmap is a multiple of 8, so maybe my texture isnt... i gonna check it out now

I can't get this to work. I edited the UVs then rotated them 180°. Exported verts (texture cordinates selected), selected the UV set i wanted to replace, then the MDL0 but when I preview it it looks the same. Any idea of what I may be doing wrong?
