i'm using gmax, i've uvw mapped it and then saved the unwrap as .uvm... have i even explained what i did correctly? anyway, i need to save the map as a single skin sheet to use with a different game, anyone know how, or if this is possible?

The easiest way is just to take a screen shot of the uvmap which works out quite well. Just remmember to resize it to a 256x256 or 512x512 or else you won't be able to use it as a skin.

There are also scripts which can generate uvmap images you can skin on. Just make sure you use a script for max 4.x because that's the version of maxscript gmax uses.
Search this site for scripts related to texturing, there might be something that'll work for you. http://www.scriptspot.com/start.htm
