A Texture question...

Forgive me Fyron

*BUMP*

This is a PM that was send to me by isopsyco...Thxs for helping me out!!...explaining how to do what I wanted to do...I'll post it here incase anyone else was wondering...how its done:

TakAhLah,
Well, you have all the right programs to do it the way I do it:

I take the completed model (with UV coordinate map already corrected and with the texture you want to set to the model) and import into Ani8Tor (3ds format is preferred but object is workable). Inside Ani8Tor go into material editor (the four black circle icon, 7th one over from the left), click New, click the diffuse '-' sign, click load texture, pick the texture bitmap where your UV coordinates will match up to and click ok for the texture you want and ok again to close the material window. Now click apply on the material you just loaded (your model should appear with the paint texture you want).
Now go to export option and save as a 3ds format. Take that 3ds file format model and import it into LithUnwrap, you should see you UV coordinate map over your bitmap paint, click preview and see if you need to adjust and UV polys around.
Now the important part, click file, save as, pick the .X format, uncheck binary and change it to TEXT and make sure you have NO compression (uncheck it).

This should give you a .X file formated model that relies on your bitmap file where your texture comes from, they are now a set pair that must be together in the same directory. You can verify this by openiny up the .x model file with Notepad and doing a search for the bitmap texture file, it should be near the end of the .x file (you can also change the name if you want to quickly change texture type).

Hope this helps out.
