Posted by jason9jasonPosted by Point Blank This simply didn't work for me. Half of the things that you are telling me to do, I can't find the options (BTW I'm using max 2009). I really want to get this result, can somebody help please?Honestly, it's a simple proccess. Add a white material to your model, Add a sky light anywhere, go to Render>render to texture add complete map Render.When I do that, it creates a map that is useless to me, as it does not match my UV map modifier.

Posted by jason9jason I can't remember what I said to matuka to get it working, sorry. What I think it should be is UV Channel, try appling the UV first. then switching to the white material. maybe it hasn't had it applied yet so it's original is Max's automatic.Huh? Are you saying I should try applying the UV map, render to texture, then doing the same with the white (or default) texture? Because it already had the texture on it, I just changed it to the default one.EDIT
Ok, I've got it now. So, the deal is this:
First, you need to go to the objects Modifiers list, and select "Unwrap UVW" and make sure that the UV map of the weapon is that of the UV Map texture. Once that's done, you can go ahead and apply the white or default material to the object and render to texture.
The reason this works, and the other way didn't, was because there was no "Unwrap UVW" modifier present, so it assumed it had not been UV Mapped, and it creates it's own. This way stops it from making it's own (terrible) UV Map, and it simply renders it using the one present, ie, the one we want.
