Give all faces a material ID.

[Inferno]

You probably didn't assign a material.

[laghing_rabt]

oh, I guess I didn't give my water an ID. thanks.

current problems:

sparrow hawk camera angle: gurrilla won't let me change the instances for the camera in the gbx model.

want tips for building complex buildings, with complex intiorios in gmax.

Going to do the voice over tomorrow and render it.. Try Kornman00 for the cameral instances.

I can't open kornman00, a prompt comes up saying that vorbisfile.dll is missing form my computer, but its sitting in my customedition directory, so where should this file be?

once again I run into an error in tool. still trying to build that scenerio structure

debug
02.14.10 09:32:24 tool pc 01.00.00.0609 ----------------------------------------------

also tool said "ERROR couldn't update edge #<insert some number here> (red)"
it was ther about ten times.

That error means you suck at modeling. Literally.

Your model has faces that are flipped the wrong way or edges that have more than 2 faces attached to them.

It also means you should clean up your geometry.

I've gotten that error before, and I didn't mess with any faces then. but that map also had water in it so I think I'm doing the water wrong. the plane and the material in the material editor are labeled water!$. did I miss label, I'll try it without the $.

E: I get the damn Triangle thing again, why can't tool just fucking work for me for once! son of bitch! why the fuck would it go back to that, I though I cleared that up?

I don't think you should be going to complex until you can do basic :S

It has nothing to do with tool. In fact tool is a excellent program.
You just need to get a fucking tutorial and follow it instead of just "winging it".

[kid908]

Here's the indoor, 3-story building tutorial. Only cover doors and room. I fucked up a bit at the beginning b/c I wasn't used to the interface. I skipped cleaning up the mesh b/c I thought you would know how to do something like that. Just basic box rooms, if you want more, learn techniques, but this is just basics down seeing how you have trouble with EVERYTHING! About 14 min, I sounded sleepy b/c I was. Volume of voice is low so turn up yours. Sorry if you can't understand.
