One allows you to download the reality factory Frequently Asked Questions file, for you to study and hopefully find answers to your problems, and the other is a link to Terry's download page which is choke full demos, articles, etc. which will also help you find answers to your questions.

Oh yes, darkmaster923, allow me to introduce you to Hike1, also known as Terry Morgan. He may or may not be related to Captain Morgan of rum fame, but I'm not sure. He is the keeper of many deep and mystical secrets of genesis3D, Reality Factory, and the creator of the Asylum demos, which showcase oodles and oodles of Reality Factory features. He is a regular contributer of those two links to new users in need of help on the forum.

When using the 3DT exporter for Milkshape, you have to make sure that your model is not concave. It must follow the same rules as world geometry.

He's using the BDY and MOT exporters, not the 3DT.

For the textures not showing anymore is the newer file much smaller? If yes then the textures aren't exported. To fix this you have to make sure that the textures are in the same folder the model is also in (if you want 100% security that it works, save the BDY in the same folder also and copy it into the 'tools' folder of RF afterwards.)

If the file is almost the same size, then this is just a bug in ActView.exe. You could also use the Viewer.exe which is much more flexible and always shows the textures. But it doesn't work with actors created with Truespace (over truegene), for example. I have no clue why this is so.
