"2. Select the edges around the cube and Connect them with 2 segments and move them close to the margins.

The reason for this is that when I will model the holes I will need them at a certain distace from the edge."

I dont understand that?
what do u mean around?

The tutorial is a nice idea, but I'm sorry, i don't want to offend...but is not well explained.

I lost my self in the "connect edges" phase...

You guys need to have 3DSmax, other 3D programs do the same things though.

Hopefully this picture will help:

Hi, I´m very confused. It´s the second Tut I´ve done about Render To Texture and it´s the second time it doesn´t work. I´ve build my files exactly like in the Tut but all I´ve got was this:

PS: By the time, great Tutorial, thx for this!!!

Hi, I've never did an UV unwrap before (never found a good tutorial~ )

But what do you mean with:

Nice Tutorial. I just wanted to add that for those having problems with the "DX Display of Standard Material" option, if you go to to Views>Show Materials in Viewport As>Hardware display with maps the normal maps should show up if your card supports it and the option is not there or not working.

A little late, but maybe this will help:

Hey B3n- you probably have gone on to other things- but I can answer your problem- it's because your high poly and low poly objects are not in exactly the same place. I know because I did the same thing and got the same result as you.

Great tutorial!

But i'm stuck in one part. I followed every step exactly but when I've attached the .psd file als bump map, my dice looks like this:
