I not yet obtained to understand as to export a model to doom3

here are some questions:

1 - Doom3 support the *.Ase format right??? Is only to place the archive in the folder inside models of the archive *.pk4?

2 - Ok, I texturized the model in 3dsmax8. When I export the model to the format *.ASE, the textures wil be inside of this archive? if not, how i place the textures in the model in the game?

thanks


ps: sorry for my english Sad

The model itself will need a special line to point to this shader for the game to find it though. A tutorial that helps a lot with understanding this is Kat's which you can find here. This is a good general tutorial for you to read but information on how to get textures to show up on models properly can be found towards the bottom under the sub-heading "Doomed, doomed, we're all doomed I tells ya".
