what i do is open up an image modifying program (photoshop or GIMP), get the wireframe texture (USEFUL!) and set it as the top layer. from there, i just color it in using flat colors. then i use 3dsmax(not necessary, but good effect) and render an Ambient Occlusion map and set that as a layer (for shading) and then its complete

Damn , you're good!

how do i get the wireframe texture?

[alexmach1]

you can use a simple program like UVMapper or simply render a wireframe from 3dsmax (and i think blender). it should look like this, a UV render of my custom klonoa model:

In 3ds max it would be ->Modifier: Unwrap UV->Edit->Tools->Render UVW Template

Thanks for the help guys! I really appreciate it!

[thegameexplorer]

No problem, if there's anything else, let us know it. If not, tell the Mods to close this

One more thing. Can anyone tell me how the hell do I change texure paths in *.DAE files. I've tried using Notepad ++, but for some reason, I can't save the changes to the paths!!!
