Alright everyone I am having troubles putting textures on my models. I'm going to post my WHOLE Method on what I'm doing and someone whos good at this will tell me whats wrong.

Alright First Off heres my Model...



I want to make a texture for the model so it looks like a statue in Wc3 so I went in Photoshop 7. And I made a 128X128 Texture using the Gradiat tool, saved it as a Targa File, 32 Bit and tried to apply it to my model. The first picture is of paintshop pro, the second is of the material bar, and the third one if how it looks...








Facts: I regrouped every part to all be in one group "Gold Statue"

Facts: I also tried to texture cordinater editor but that didnt work either.

get gmax and use my tut on my sig. if you don't want to read my tut, don't bother
not sure what you're using but it looks like milkshape.
you didn't even unwrap the model, how's it gonna apply when the texture doesn't have your coordinate points?

Your tut explains it? This is actually my first model that im applying a texture to

Oh shit thanks AzN Whore I didnt realize it was completely necessary to unwrap it... Thanks again...

If you didn't get it working just yet, I'd suggest slightly redoing the texture a bit. It is mainly one color with a gold stripe on it, so if you applied this texture to the model, it would mainly be that one color with the goldish stripe on it. Maybe make the gradient have 2-3 different stripes?

Btw, yes, unwrapping is completely necessary, however since the model is formed all into one group, it really won't matter which way you unwrap it. Unwrapping in different ways will do nothing but determine which side of the model will have the stripe on it.

Yeah I got it working now, It works pretty good Heres how it turned out in game =)
