Attack a skin 3ds max 5

I made a simple sphere in 3ds max 5. I got the skin ready to put back onto the model but when I try to there is no option to put on your own skin. Can someone please tell me how to attach a skin back onto the model in 3ds max 5?

Check the tutorial that comes with the ArtTools.
U need to use the material editor but that is explained in the tutorial.

I did put I found no option to add a custom material.

go to the diffuse button, choose bitmap, and choose your skin

remember to click the blue checkerd cube, so it actually shows up on the model

That's it thnx you so much.

I'm sure you know all that is covered in the 3d studio max 5 manual but are just feeling lazy :-)

Yes I am thats quite a few words there you know.
