45% of the world is lazy, 45% of the world is busy, the remaining 10% probably didn't read this post.

Here's an early warning, when real mod work needs to come, a lot of people that join your 'team' will suddenly 'vanish', it happens a lot, and I've seen it first hand, it's not a good situation. If you want things done, do them yourself, people to help are just a luxury, and a rarity.

Yeah I know and understand. The mod has been in development for just over 3 weeks and i have done the majority of the work myself.
Yes, assembling a mod team is hard, however, any work that you can be assisted with is better than doing everything yourself.
Also, I have just been sent an email saying that planetCNC will host my mod!
Hopefully this will increase interest on the positions in my mod.
However, my point is it is better asking for help than sitting back and doing everything yourself as this is the reason most mods die.

Ah, if you're doing work in Max, let me give you some nice tips :

Although you might still prefer chilliskinner, there is another, very fast way to get your basic skin :

use any procedural 3D texture you like (Blur's camoflage plugin fe)
then dig up the free Bake3D autoapply uv mapping and generate a texturelayout while selecting the just applied procedural. Save the texture and use it as a bitmap, reapply that to the unit. viola...

The only critic i got on this method is that the coordinate layout of bake3D is not well optimized, but i'm still getting acceptable result with it...

If you're skilled and can compose/mix several procedural textures to get lifelike materials, you'll save yourselves hours of fiddeling in photoshop...
