Hi, just got the model into 3ds max and exported it to .dae successfully. It does show up in the model editor when I import the mesh, however it lacks the textures. And how do I make it into a placable object?
All textures must have a corresponding material file with the same file name as the texture. (Note: file extension is not part of file name.) Simplest way to generate a material file is by loading your model into the ModelView program.
Wait wait wait wait wait wait wait, your exported your MODEL and as a .dds?
Mother of god.
Alright, so what you need to do is export your textures as .dds and place them somewhere within your amnesia directory, then use the materialeditor.exe to create a .mat file using the same name and location as your .dds files, like this.
example_diffuse.dds
example_specular.dds
example_diffuse.mat
Now in your 3D modeling suite ( 3D's max ) Create a new standard material and add a bitmap to it, the bitmap should be example_diffuse.dds located within your amnesia directory.
Now export your model as a DAE and it should work fine.

Ops I meant as a .dae, sry for the confusion.
EDIT: How do I export my textures as .dds? They are currently in a .jpg and .png format.
There are plugins for Photoshop and The Gimp which lets you export as .dds

I can't seem to get this working, is there any tutorials on making a model and getting it into the game?

Ok, thanks anyway

The model viewer crashes when I try to open it, is there another way to generate a material file?
