3D Maxs problem

[olevla]

My friend made a firetruck model using 3D Max but he got some problem.

 

The Firetruck look darker in game but it's look good at editing UI. What's the problem?

Calculate the normals for the vehicle, the likely cause is that the normals have not been set, which is why you are seeing such a dark flat shaded model in the editor.

How can he do it?

In zmod 2 since you need z2 to import anyway you can do it.

Enter vertice edit mode, select all the models vertices, make sure selection mode is enabled

Under the menu Surface>Normals>Calculate, right click on the editing window and you will see little green lines pop up on the vertices, and in the 3D view the model will change its coloring to be brighter and reflect lighting. Once you do that export the model back as a V3O and its done.
