Re: Lamp wip
Thanks, you guys are have been a lot of help
I have to ask though, what is the point of texturing in ac3d if we have to do it in a render program? Isn't one of the selling points for ac3d is the ease at texturing? |

It's also needed for real-time models, such as for games or scientific visualization. |

Re: Lamp wip
lol, i'm confused. I just use ac3d for uv mapping? Then I apply the texture using bryce?
For games, you don't render your models? |

Again, correct. The game _is_ the renderer. Some games still have an in-between step because they need certain things precomputed--typically lighting-related values and collision\partitioning data--but it's frequently something that happens in the level editor or as part of a custom "build" process. Hope that's a little less confusing. |
