OK, what did I do wrong with getting the picture in the post now?

Does anybody know much about skinning? I got my frigate into milkshape, and can export it into a wide variety of formats, followed a tutorial on making a UV-map with lithunwrap, and can get the skin colored and back on my model. But, some of the skin sections end up inverted when I put it back together in milkshape; went through thier question and answers and found its a common problem and the solution they give isn't working for me. does anyone know a lot about milkshape that can help me out with this, or know of a different program (one that allows inveriting skins, or making it double sided) that I can use from lithunwrap

Thanks

I can see the value of being able to get the skin the right way around, but this is an Ork ship we're talking about. It's built from scrap so it really shouldn't be a problem if the armour plating appears back to front.

Imperator Fyron - I'm still not getting it right.

Randallw - Guess I said that wrong, what I ment by inverted, was that milkshape would put the skin on the inside of the model in some places, and leave the outside black.

I got it worked around, I can fix it by exporting the file and opening it with anim8or. I'm attaching the skined version of it now.

You still have to use the image tag, you just need to use the url of an image. However, it appears that it does not support bitmaps.

Note that that is a very good thing.
BMPs are pretty much the worst image format to try and use on ye olde internet. And to inflict a BMP on a dialup user would just be mean.

This is what you want to do:
Conveniently, this is <2% of the size of your BMP.

Thanks for the help, I also thought the / before the image after the url was like the space before the url.

Thanks again
