Hi slabay,
Just seen this supermarket you made. Looks good so a big Well Done for breaking into Gmax. We all have to start somewhere and a building is a very good place rather than a complicated loco that is likely to put you off working in a 3D prog altogether. I can still remember my stumbling start but we improve with time and learn more of the Gmax quirks and tools.
There are some roof textures about on the Web if you search and that will cure that problem but I can't see anything wrong with the sign. Sort the roof out and upload - simples!

Thanks, Angela! I've been doing quite a bit of reskinning, so finding the textures isn't so much of an issue with me. I didn't like the roof texture, but it looked like a roof, and the front sign just seemed flat to me. If it was something that I was going to release, I'd have spent a bit more time on the textures. It was more along the lines of a comment that I wasn't real happy with the textures I used. Point was to make the building, which I was quite happy with.
I did that in gMax because it was a bit easier as the first item than 3ds Max is, which is what I am fiddling around with right now. I've done the World of Trainz flatcar tutorial and had a few issues exporting it. I've chatted in PM on and off again with Mick (Matruck) and he's been my go-to with questions. It has definately been a struggle getting started, but I'm ready to run with it!!!
