UV Mapping Help  
Other than the problem I am about to show, first attempt at meshing is going well. The mesh itself works well, it's just the mapping that will not behave itself.



I am new to meshing. This is the first time I have made anything that is not purely texture. The textures sat fine in Milkshape, and I am raging at how to fix it. To clarify: the black is texture, not a different problem because I have checked that. The only thing I can think of is at some point I decided to move that part (because Sentate gave the boots four separate parts) and forgot to change the UV Map, which, the more I think about it, seems increasingly likely. Will have a look to make sure.

Anyway achievements past two days: made something that is not texture, have the boots ready and widened to fit nude legs on other meshes without fiddling with them again, and when this issue is fixed, mapped so tights will go nicely underneath, a couple of ideas for retextures and textures/patterns hoarded, and more importantly, I have more than zero knowledge of what I am doing in Milkshape. Illness has been productive, at least.

Ohhh, It does look good CaptO. Was this mesh possibly grouped? When you are in Milkshape and do the texture check pattern thing does it show them in the right place?

They are clearly picking up the textures because if not it would be skintone showing not black. And one last question, when you are in photoshop mashing the textures is everything lined up okay. Some of these may seem like silly questions, but believe me I've experienced every last one of these and more. If all of these are a go, and you want to you can send me the milkshape files and I can have a glance at it.

Both meshes had a single group, and textures showed in the right place in milkshape when I mapped them before regrouping. I think I probably just moved something on the texture and forgot to adjust the UV map. Where it is showing black from I remember putting a part of the shoes there at one stage. I still have it saved somewhere with the two grouped separately, so I can fix it. I think I'll still send it your way later to be sure, if you don't mind.
