Cannot find the original car but here http://www.turbosquid.com/FullPreview/I ... /ID/239056 is a car which has a 3ds file that comes out all grey.How do I apply the Primera BMP. Is this where Right hemisphere comes in .If so then I give up .I am not prepared to spend the cash just to get a few more free models.Thanks for all your help.

To quote one of my previous posts

Make sure you unzip into its own folder called say fish just the 3DS file and the bmp. Then import 3ds make sure D3D!!!! is selected and it works fine.

The key is to make sure the bmps are in the same file as the 3ds file. So in the case of this car you need to unzip it and then copy the bmps from the maps folder into the same folder as the 3DS file and then open using D3D.

Just tried it and it applies the bmps perfectly.
