Decal mapping

[dmanero]

Hey guys and gals,

Well I have question for you all and before you've all be a great help, and i sure now will be no diffrent.

I'm trying to put a couple of decals on my tuner cars body. Now i know how to put one decal on the hood but when I use the same method to do the body I'm having trouble with that. And by using the gizmo doesn't help at all. What happens is that the decal appears in the area selected but then allso on other parts of the body. If you need a image to show you what i mean, just say the word and I present one. And just to let you know I'm using 3D studio max 7

I hope someone can help me out.

in mat editor for current bitmap, make same number for map. channel in mat editor and in uvw mapping
so for first decal - m. channel - 1
for 2nd - m. channel - 2
etc.

thanks I give that a try,

but heres the odd thing, I use a diffrent body paint (raytrace) and then it worked fine , where as before it was a shellup base paint.

do you think that had anything to do with it.

Also i was think if I'm going to put multiple decals, should I reather make them one image for the decal instead of say 4 decals.
