Hello all. Im gettting in to skinning alot more and I downloaded chilli skinner and textporter. Now the problem is. When I put texporter in the plugins directory and load RenX I get a message basically saying textporter couldnt initialize making it useless. Ive tried everything to make it work but it wont.

So im asking what everyone else uses to skin in gmax to make it a .bmp image? And also to leave a link on where I can get it cause putting it up for download on this site is useless.

doesnt text porter only work for 3ds max?

I dont believe it works in Gmax because textporter exports skin information in a format Discreet doesn't want Gmax to have.

Gmax is free, they dont want you to be able to render anything you build in Gmax. Thus disabling any rendering function.

I know that but Im sure there is a plugin somewhere that would allow me to be able to change it to bit map. Thats what my question was. Cause I know there are 3d modelars here that use gmax and are able to skin. SO to clear things up I KNOW TEXTPORTER WONT WORK

I jsut want to know what everyone else uses and if they would be able to supply a link of it for me.

I just use Chilliskinner, and the alt printscreen and paste that into your image editor. Look at henford's tutorial that is stickied for more info about that.
