attachment on a commodity

[davesnow]

Is it possible to have an attachment on a commodity? I haven't had any luck...

Hi, Dave.

I do think you can as long as the commodity has a mesh. I hope it's an .im.

I had to do it to some of mine because of losses of original max. files. I used PEV's Attachment Maker (visual) or .im Editor (non visual, so you have to know the exact X,Y,Z coordinates).

Hope it helps.

It's my own commodity (Log Load) and I managed to get seperate made chains to attach, but they were so high poly half of them didn't show up so I discarded that idea and made chains with planes and alpha channels.

I didn't dare to ask you what the attachments points were intended to. I do know now.

....and made chains with planes and alpha channels...

Yes, Dave, that joint task technique does the job very decently after almost two and a half decades of ways to deceive human eyes in Trainz!!!
