Well, download Crysis wars trial and the sand box editor for it + all tools for 3ds max 2009 and it works way better. But there are still some problems with the maps. The first is, my normalmap doesnt work because it seems like it has to be a .DDN file, I have no idea how to create one :/ Google didnt help. And my opacity map doesnt work as well and I have no idea why. Still havent figured out how to give it reflections :/ Heres a picture of the car ingame:



The tires are rubber, all lights and windows are glass, the rest is metal. Im proud of myself

@EDIT: Normalmap problem solved thank to ICHII3D

Hi Schaefft,

the _DDN is a SUFFIX, which means your normal map needs to be named like this:

yournormalmapname_DDN

Then it should work. Thats really important, to do it that way.


Now to you Alpha Map Problem:

What is your workflow when creating it?

Do you use the CryTIFF Plugin in Photoshop?

As far as I know, you should have the Alpha Map in the Diffuse Map as a Channel, but I am not sure though.

Also there are a few things when saving it, which you need to take care of. But I am not really experienced in that Section. Somewhere you can choose to save it with Alpha or something like that.

This Thread maybe help you:

Best Regards.

EDIT: Sorry, I am Blind. ^^

Didnt see that you already solved it....shame on me
