I am trying to export a model with 3 textures.The model works just fine but it has no textures in game or in hammer.They appear white.Any ideea why?

This generally happens because you have not set up the Standard Materials for this model to have Bitmap with TGA/IFL/PSD in the corresponding slots. For example, if the Diffuse texture is not a Bitmap node with a TGA source.

With only a couple exceptions, the only TEXTURES that export in a material are Bitmap nodes.

Can you link me a tutorial on how to texture in 3ds ?

Search on YouTube... There are hundreds. Here's a quick walkthrough:

1. Press M on your keyboard to open the material editor. In the menus, switch to standard slot editor (that's the only one I know how to use).

2. For the diffuse color, click the button next to it and select Bitmap.

3. Select a TGA format texture for your model.

4. Click OK to return to the slot editor. Drag and drop the texture slot over your model. You should see the model's textures change. You may need to re-UVW map it with a modifier (sometimes, not always).

5. Export with WWMT.

It does the same thing only now it's brighter.Probably from the diffuse.

If you make any changes to a model's material you may need to re-export the model AND/OR the material. Note that when you hit the export textures button, the checkbox for the VMT may be unchecked because it was already exported... so you need to check it and re-export the VMT along with the textures.

Yeah i did that.When i change something to a model i reexport both the model and the textures.

You will need to make a screen shot of your material in the Material Editor. Use the Slate Material Editor and take a screen shot of the Material and the Bitmap nodes coming into it.

The second image shows the correct layout in Slate.

So can you post a screen shot of the texture in game... as I am confused about your intent. The diffuse bitmap is white/gray... which is what you should get in game for this material.
